Powell Weddings & Events 

5.0

  • Band/dj
  • Starts at $1,850
  • Serves South Jordan, UT

Russ has always loved music. From standing in the living room, pretending to conduct the orchestra as a toddler, to playing in multiple bands growing up. He got his start as a DJ in 2003 DJ'ing for his friend's sister's wedding. While there he met another couple who were impressed with his charisma and unabashed ability to engage the crowd, and leading a line dance when necessary, they asked him to DJ their wedding as well. From there it snowballed as he honed his craft both on the microphone and behind the mixer to create the professional sound and music services that Powell Wedding & Events represents today.

I'm a professional wedding officiant of 18 years in Utah and beyond. I always tell my couples the most important thing besides me is their D.J. They can make or break your ceremony and reception. If I have a bad microphone for the ceremony, all anyone remembers is the cutting in and out. Good equipment is vital. Russ has some of the best. Second, your D.J. will either make or break your reception. A good DJ reads the guests and knows which direction to go in. Russ is an expert when it comes to this skill. Remember, your D.J. is guiding and directing the evening when it comes to toasting, first dance, cake cutting, and all the other things that take place during the reception. Your D.J is the Ringmaster that makes it all look easy and smooth. You want a professional D.J. with professional equipment. If you're lucky enough to get Russ, be assured, you've got both.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Fox Weddings and Events 

4.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $900
  • Serves South Jordan, UT

The Fox Theatre is currently offering DJ services. Glenn is a charismatic, and passionate DJ that will help bring all the elements of your big day together. Not sure what you want? His years of experience will help you weigh pros and cons and make informed decisions. We also have tables and chairs available for rent. Call today for a free consultation (435-233-6046). If you are looking for a venue, we have had some success connecting couples with beautiful vacation rental destinations that allow events. There are pros and cons to this option, so check with Glenn to see if this option is good for you.

I will start with Glenn is a great person and was very easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding and responded to messages quickly. There is a list that you are given by the DJ for all the important moments for songs to play, that was great and done correctly. The reason we gave lower stars were for the following reason; the playlists we sent were not used. We gave playlists for every duration of the wedding for music we wanted played during the pre ceremony music, dinner and reception/dancing. Out of the playlist songs only a handful were actually played for each section and for the pre ceremony not at all. Even after having been brought to their attention at the dinner during the reception, dancing went the same random unwanted music was being played. People were unable to dance to the music that was playing and it was frustrating when the DJ announced come request music and then the songs people were requesting (which were on the playlists) weren’t getting played anyways. We would hope that moving forward he plays the music people actually want to hear and dance to at their wedding because this is a memory the couple will always remember and it is something that we still hear about from guests even to this day about how the music was lacking.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with The Hook Club. Our amazing planner, Greenhouse Events, recommended THC, and we were sold immediately after meeting with Dan. He is super relaxed, nice, and so knowledgable. Dan and THC team made planning super easy for us. They took time to hear about our hopes and helped recommend different band sizes for us. We hadn’t heard of a DJ band before, but loved the idea of some live music with the versatility to play all sorts of music, but our venue wasn’t very big and we also didn’t want to break the bank and hire a huge band. We chose the 4 piece DJ band with singer, sax, drums, and DJ. We knew we LOVED the sax, so we also had the sax play for cocktail hour (shout out to Elijah, who was amazing), and it was one of the best parts of the night. For planning music, they sent out a very detailed and thorough spreadsheet with more songs than one could imagine, and we could rate ones we liked the most, choose ones we definitely wanted or didn't, and choose specific songs for important moments. We met a couple times to review music choices as well. One of our biggest fears with a DJ was that they'd talk too much and be a little annoying, but Dan did a great job as MC, and was very low-key like we asked but announced important moments clearly. Dan and all the musicians had such great energy and got everyone on the dance floor. Our vocalist, Christen, was also amazing — her voice was spectacular, and she was such an amazing performer and got everyone involved in the music and dancing. So many people told us how much they loved the music and the energy, and had never heard of a DJ band but thought it was an amazing concept and the addition of live music over tracks added extra excitement and fun. THC also helped out with lighting (uplights and dance lights), and worked with our fantastic planner and the venue to help us decide the best setup. Ultimately, we loved working with THC. Their DJ-band setup is unique and adds so much variety to your music while allowing for some of the energy that comes from live performers. We danced the night away and had an absolute blast. 100% would recommend THC to anyone!

Can’t imagine our wedding without Tyler! He brought so much energy and joy. He was so intentional in making the night perfectly tailored to us. We danced for 4 hours straight and the dance floor was constantly packed. The saxophone is the best addition too - the second I walked into cocktail hour people were talking about how amazing it was and it only got better once he started playing and dancing with us on the dance floor. Could not recommend him enough!!

TLDR: Hiring Modern Highway for our wedding was, hands down, the best decision my wife and I made for our big day. First and foremost, they are all talented, professional, and brought a large repertoire to the table. Christina is a fantastic singer, with big range. She is also a great business person, again with exceptional range - handling our light, acoustic service music, our post-wedding cocktail music, and our reception music. All live - which kicked the sheeet out of a DJ. She also MC’d. For weddings, hitting hitches is bad - there were none. The long version: Our wedding was a Sunday. It was in a more remote area from LA - Temecula. My wife had just been injured in a car accident - so we were a little nervous but the event was still a go with many people flying in. I am a musician and my wife and I had made the decision that live music was what we wanted for our big celebration. In hindsight, my only regret is the Sunday wedding because we hired Modern Highway to do our music and they were on fire. And some guests had to think about…Monday. But Christina and the band really held things together. It was a fun event and a big piece of that was the music. Christina brought a tremendous amount of energy. Her voice is electric and, when it came time to dance, the band brought it. Christina was very active moving through the crowd, dancing and singing. It is so hard to do that well - to be the energy. Where we needed “other” services, for first dances, parent dances, introductions, ceremony, etc., Christina & Modern Highway had it all covered. In a few cases we needed streamed music - covered. We needed someone to make the event go from the mic - covered. In a unique circumstance, my own band wanted to play - covered. If I’d been them, I would have said no. And frankly, based on what I saw from Christina, we could not have had a better person handling the mic that night. My wife and I look back on our wedding day as a true blessing - a day we were ecstatic about on the spot. I know a big piece of our internal satisfaction is knowing the entertainment was top notch. I wish Christina could have been our photographer as well!
