Working with Kyle was a pleasure. My son got married in Utah this summer, and to help him out I booked the DJ for him. I work in the industry, so they trusted me. He was easy to contact, easy to book, and just easygoing in general. My son and his wife are not really the dancing party type. So it was up to me and Kyle to make sure this party wasn’t a flop. I would hit up Kyle with all sorts of harebrained ideas to make sure the reception was a hit! He was always ready to help. Kyle ended up making a medley of all my son’s favorite songs jammed together into one! It was really special and it set the tone for the whole night. There’s no way I could have a got a better guy for the job.
We really appreciate you Kyle!

DJ Flash & Flare was the DJ of our dreams for our Solitude Resort wedding! Kyle was professional, kind, accommodating, attentive, and brought the HEAT to our dance floor. Our dance floor was packed all night long, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing our DJ was! Kyle perfectly mixed all of the musical genres we love, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We’d love to throw another party just to have him DJ! Thank you Kyle!! - Becca & Dylan

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
I love DJ’ing weddings, and I put my heart into every event I’m part of. Your wedding is your story, your family, and your celebration, and being trusted to DJ such an important day is something I genuinely value.
Music is one of the biggest parts of your wedding day. It sets the mood, fills the dance floor, and creates the moments you and your guests will remember forever. That’s why finding the right wedding DJ in Utah is so important.
As a wedding DJ based in Salt Lake City, I bring years of experience, strong music knowledge, and a real passion for creating great energy at every celebration. I know how to mix different genres, read the room, and build a soundtrack that reflects your style while keeping your guests engaged from start to finish.
I also DJ at several of Salt Lake City’s top clubs, which means you can expect clean mixing, great transitions, mash-ups, remixes, and professional MC’ing. Everything you’d want from a high-quality wedding reception DJ.
My goal is to deliver an amazing experience and give you a wedding celebration your family and friends will be talking about long after the night ends.

From the very start I knew Kyle was going to be easy to work with. Before we booked, we had a great zoom meeting. He was so easy during the planning process, it made picking music ...
much less stressful! The party was such much better than we could have pictured, I’ve already recommended Kyle to two of my girlfriends! Highly recommend!

on and the ability to mic up a trumpet and a violin for our musical performers.
He accommodated a variety of music tastes throughout the night, and was a strong MC. His skills as a DJ were also made obvious by his mixing and music selection (look him up!).
We'd recommend Kyle to anyone looking for an excellent DJ!

and timely in all communications. At the event, he was adaptable, we had to move our reception indoors due to weather. He was also friendly to all our vendors and guests. Many people raved about how much they enjoyed the music, including our planner, and our guests were dancing all night. Book Kyle if you're looking for a DJ who has great taste in music, can read a room, and will curate the perfect vibe for your event!

DJ Flash and Flare, or Kyle, worked our 9/16/2023 outdoor/indoor wedding. Before the big day he was attentive, informative, and had a fair contract. Payment was easy. He reached ou...
t to discuss the general flow of our day and to understand our needs. Day off, he showed up early and had everything working and ready to go. He started music as the guests showed up without being asked as we were taking pre-ceremony photos and when the ceremony started, it went off without a hitch. The bride/groom/officiant shared a single mic that picked up everything without needing to pass it around. His equipment was exactly what you would want.
Throughout the remainder of the evening, he keep the music appropriate and on point, he moved a speaker and mic to a different area for speeches while the venue changed the dining area into a dancing area, and then kept our dance party going until the venue shut us down. Nothing but compliments about his choice in music from all of the guests.
I highly recommend DJ Flash and Flare for any wedding or corporate event. The combination of reliability and fun make him perfect for an ever changing event like a wedding.
5 stars, all the thumbs up, how ever you prefer to rate. Look no further than DJ Flash and Flare.

I really appreciate his patience, kindness, huge smile, and of course his very skilled DJ abilities.

We were ready to call it quits and move inside but Flare insisted we keep the party going outside! Our family and friends danced for hours with lightning and thunder as our backdrop!

I can’t tell you how many times I heard about “how awesome this DJ is!!” My wife’s 99 year old grandma stayed THE WHOLE TIME, like until lateeee, and I attribute a lot of that to the excellent tunes of Mr. Flare. BOOK HIM NOW!

Few people realize how crucial a great DJ is to a big event like a wedding, It can really elevate the whole experience for everyone involved. My wife and I have known Kyle for quit...
e some time and have seen him DJ a number of other weddings for friends of ours. Every wedding he has DJed has been an all out blast, he is professional, knows how to read a crowd, and plays all the right tracks to really bring an amazing vibe. When it came time for our own wedding, we knew there was nobody else we would rather have DJ it than Kyle. Prior to the big day he worked with us on track selection that fit our style, and he has such a large musical repertoire that once he knew what we liked, he could fill in and do what he does best, and that is rock a party. I can't say enough good things about our experience having Kyle DJ our wedding. If you're are looking for the best of the best, look no further.
