As a wedding planner and the owner of Forever West Weddings & Events - I would recommend Utah Live Bands and the Dance Doctors to my clients any day. They are such a professional operation and their music is incredible.
The band manager was extremely prompt and professional with our booking interactions. The contract was straight forward.
We booked High Society AND LOVED THEM! They were absolutely incredible. High energy, fun music, great covers of our first dance songs, and interacting with the crowd in such a fun way. We got so many compliments on them. We were a smaller wedding so we felt a little silly having such a big band but they were 100% worth every penny and helped us have a special evening.
We booked The Shuffle Band through Utah Live Bands and when I tell you this band rocked..... OMG!!!! THEY ROCKED!!! The Shuffle Band is a 6 person band and perform covers of 70s/80s/90s/00s rock songs. After talking to them I trusted that I didn't need to micromanage them at all - I didn't provide a song list (I only had a few artists/songs I didn't want played) and they were able to read the crowd and play EXACTLY what everyone wanted to hear!!! The singers sound EXACTLY (if not BETTER) than the original artists . The guitarists and drummer are INSANLEY talented and TOTALLY CRUSHED their solos. Our wedding is going down in history because of this band! We got a million compliments from every guest on the music they played and how amazing they sounded! The band interacted with the crowd, coming down off the stage to sing / play on the dancefloor with us. My husband and I don't really like dancing but YOU COULD NOT PULL US OFF THAT DANCEFLOOR - THE SHUFFLE WAS THAT GOOD!!!
HIRE THEM RIGHT NOW!!!!
Any questions?
The Dance Doctors were absolutely incredible! The music was flawless and perfect for each moment of the day - charming and easy going at dinner and then an absolute party to light up the dance floor. The manager Stephen was incredibly easy to work with and made the process smooth from start to finish - communicative, responsive, and made the set lists fit exactly what our group would love best. Can’t go wrong with this band!
The Groove Merchants played our wedding at Montage Deer Valley in September, and absolutely blew us away. We had a destination wedding so picked them on word of mouth and online videos, and they were above and beyond what we could have imagined. We told them we wanted a high-energy, rocking dance floor all night ... and that's what we got! They can play a huge range of songs, and the lead singers have incredible voices. They were also extremely professional and easy to work with -- all around we had a wonderful experience with them. Only issue was that the dance floor was too small, no one wanted to sit down!!
The Salamanders BLEW THE ROOF OFF THE PLACE. Amazing ending to an AMAZING wedding week!
Nice job, guys!
We went through Utah Live Bands to hire a DJ. We struggled a little getting the information we needed to make a decision in the beginning. Once we got through that though, we booked DJ Bentley and were very happy with his performance. He was on time, had all of his gear, and was very sociable. We had a few minor hiccups. Our pastor's mic was supposed to be the one that clips to his suit, but it was a handheld mic and went in and out a few times. The DJ also started playing Canon in D for the bridesmaids instead of A Thousand Years and then switching to Canon in D for me. I was probably the only one that noticed. I would suggest reviewing every detail beforehand instead of assuming they can read your mind. The DJ was great during the reception though. He played a variety of music that got both the young and the older crowd out on the dance floor and kept them there all night long. No one wanted to leave at the end of the night. I would hire DJ Bentley again.
