We hired Whiskey Business acoustic duo to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour and then had Emily DJ our reception. So glad that we had them for all the parts of our wedding day - their energy is so good and everything went completely smooth (as far as I know) through the entire event. We got many compliments from guests about the music and Emily was wonderful to work with during the planning process.

My daughter was getting married in another state than the one I live in, and in the same year to boot! Because of having to finance two weddings in the same year, we did not want to spend an arm and a leg to do so. I asked the DJ I booked for my wedding if he knew anyone in Michigan that could handle my daughter's wedding, and he referred me to DJ J. Boone. I had talked to a handful of vendors before, and I came to the realization that the lower the price for the service, the worst service I received. I found a happy medium with J Boone's services.. He was priced fairly, and I was genuinely surprised at how much effort he put in to go above and beyond everything that was asked of him. He communicated clearly the whole time, made our needs important, and of course on the big day, delivered what was asked of him. And more! Our entire family was extremely impressed with his service.

Oh man, I can’t think of enough good things to say!! Eric and Erinn (and all the staff!!) are the BEST to work with!! They are always so kind, genuinely care about their clients, are always willing to lend a hand to fellows vendors, are always very professional... I literally cannot say enough!

From the moment we booked Ryan Shephard for our wedding, he was incredibly responsive, quick to answer any questions, and made the entire process easy. On the day of the wedding, Ryan was exactly what we had hoped for - he seamlessly executed our special requests beforehand and took requests from our guests all night long. My husband and I had a very specific vision in mind for the music, and Ryan brought it to life perfectly. My guests raved about him. I cannot recommend Ryan Shephard enough - he was truly amazing and played a big part in making our wedding day so special.

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!

I've known Ryan almost as long as I have been in the industry. The services he provides go well above & beyond just being a DJ! He cares about his clients & giving them the experience they are dreaming of. With a wide range of add ons from uplighting to customized song lists you can tailor your experience in partnership with him. In an industry where we see 20-30 new couples a year it means so much to him that you leave feeling like you were cared for but more importantly that you're family. From a vendor perspective Ryan adamantly believes in being part of the team, works swell with video + photo teams (like myself) to ensure we are staying on schedule for the day, but that none of your essential moments are captured!

We are an 8-piece wedding and event band that has been around metro Detroit for 10 years. We play dance music from the past six decades. We put on a fun and entertaining show that gets the audience involved.

All I can say is wow! T.J. and the Cosmic Groove band was nothing short of incredible! Not only are they extremely talented musicians who are great at bringing the energy to the party and keeping guests dancing the whole night, but they are incredibly professional as well. Cosmic Groove was the highlight of our wedding! Multiple guests were saying how amazing the band was and asking how we found them! T.J. was so organized, an excellent communicator, and so very accommodating. We loved working with him every step of the way! He went out of his way to ensure we had the perfect day, and we certainly did. We had guests of all ages attending, and at one point there was hardly any room left on the dance floor because everyone was dancing and having a great time! Book them now and you definitely won't regret it! We were so impressed and if we could get married again, we'd book them again! Thank you, Cosmic Groove, for playing such a monumental part in our wedding day! We had a blast with you guys!
