We LOVED the music Matt played at our wedding party. He was seamless is transitioning genres from when the party first started to end of the night. I had SO many friends at the party come up and say they were loving the music. Best part was he didn't play a single one of those classic wedding anthem songs that everyone has heard a million times (which was our worry). He nailed it, couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our special night.

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.

We had Terrell as our DJ for our wedding and could not be more happy with him! It was a little nerve racking having a meeting so close to the big day but Terrell and Derek both made us feel comfortable that everything would go smoothly. On the day of the wedding Terrell was at a venue he has never worked at before but set up and communication was seamless. He kept the party going and had the dance floor packed all night (one of the most important things for us that night). We didn't give him a playlist; just more like some guidelines and he did an amazing job. He came up to me and my husband to ensure we were happy (and even fed!). He communicated with me and the photographer to ensure all the big moments were captured before the photographer had to leave which was so nice because the thought to do that had not even occurred to me. We can not wait to recommend them more to anyone getting married or throwing an event. Thank you so much Terrell and Derek!!!!

When it comes to weddings, there's only one chance to get it right! It's why I care so much about each wedding and that I treat each one as if it were my own! THAT is the kind of passion I give each and every one of my couples to not only ensure the vision for their day comes to reality but that their ONLY 'responsibility' on their wedding day is to celebrate with their family and friends! Quite frankly, I LOVE weddings and I consider it an honor to be part of their day & assisting them in creating lifelong memories (not to mention the amount of trust that my couples place upon me).

We truly cannot say enough about having Jack DJ for our May 2024 wedding. We both have large families and friends, all of whom like to dance and party. I personally think a DJ/music can absolutely make or break a wedding, so we were very nervous when making our decision. After the initial phone call with him, we were very happy with our choice. He played such a mix of music, all of which we loved. We gave him a small list of songs we absolutely wanted to hear, but wanted him to also do his own thing, which we are so glad we did! He is professional, so on top of the music and can read the room perfectly. And he doesn't constantly talk like other wedding DJs. The dance floor was packed ALL night long – and most of our guests stayed the entire night. Even on a Monday night when many had to work the next day!! My only disappointment was that we couldn't have Jack for longer! You absolutely will not regret booking Jack. TRUST ME!!!

Overall music selection and sound was great, maybe a little too loud a some points but that may also be due to speaker placement. There was an issue with the DJ going to the wrong site initially. Our venue had 3 ceremony/reception sites, and he set up across the street at one of the other sites. This caused a delay in set up, but our coordinator and site manger were able to help him. I don’t think he verified with anyone when he arrived that he was at the correct wedding before setting up. Ceremony music sound was great. Microphones were provided which was great so everyone could hear us and our officiant

We called, talked and knew that's our band. Communication (phone/email) was easy. Our party was in a cul-de-sac. We provided canapes, a garage and power. They set up everything else. It was already fun to listen to the soundcheck. About 120 guests were all over the cul-de-sac and the band totally adapted to everything that happened. Their male singer was not at our party but their female singer was absolutely amazing!!!! Whenever we talk about the party, EVERYONE says that the band was so GREAT!! We hope to hear/see them again.

Every time Atlas performs at Irondequoit Country Club I am reminded why they are our number one choice for our member events and the number one choice for our couples. The entire band is incredibly talented, outgoing, and energetic. No matter who they are playing for, their wide variety of songs, and infectious personalities, will make sure everyone is on the dance floor. Their attention to detail leading up to, and during a show, confirms why they are considered the best. They never disappoint and we can't to have them back.

Absolutely amazing!!! People at our wedding still talk about them a month later! They not only brought great positive energy but were so sweet and kind to work with. They heard all of our requests and took them all into account. They were not only amazing to us but all of our family and friends. Would HIGHLY recommend. Also working with Utah Live Bands was one of our easiest vendors to work with - Stephen Tobian was always so responsive it was great for planning from afar! Book these guys early though they fill up fast!
