Reviews of Utah Live Bands

Brittany Elias

Highly Recommend Dance Doctors! (a Utah Live Band) Dance Doctors were the stars of the show! They absolutely nailed our first dance songs, which were a medley of 2 songs that they executed perfectly. They brought really high energy and our guests were on the dance floor all night long! We opted for the 10pc band and the lead singers had incredible vocal range and diversity in song selection. We included the Hora and Dance Doctors did an excellent job - probably the highlight of our night! To us, music was one of the most important elements in our wedding, and as New Yorker's we didn't hear the band live in advanced, however we absolutely 100% made the best choice by booking Dance Doctors and highly recommend!!

Brittani Knudsen

All I can say is WOW!!!! We used Utah live bands to book a band for my husband and my 40th birthday bash and I cannot even say how AWESOME the band was!!!! We contacted them about wanting an 80’s band and they sent us a few choices Paradise City was incredible, they sounded so good!!! They were so engaging and made the party a hit!!! I would highly recommend booking a band through Utah live bands for all your events and especially Paradise City!!!

Allie Kimmel

Choosing Drive Country Band as our wedding entertainment was the best decision we made while planning our wedding (aside from choosing each other, of course!!) Our guests can't stop talking about how much fun they had dancing the night away with Drive. Michael was incredible to work with and we would recommend Drive and Utah Live Bands with a million stars if we could!

Dani Dougal

I am an event planner for a mortgage company. We hired the band The Breakfast Klub for our Corporate party this year. It was 80's themed and they were absolutely PERFECT. They rocked the house and we couldn't say enough good things about them! They were the talk of the night. They had all the hits and even did some requests from our audience. They were great to work with and I highly recommend them.

Hillary Maxwell

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!

M Casey

We hired Jersey Street to perform at our wedding and everyone raved about how amazing they were! We loved that they play a wide range of songs to fit our eclectic music taste. They were also so accommodating and played a song outside their repertoire for our first dance.

Connor Grealy

It is always a great review when everyone at the wedding was disappointed we had to wrap up the band’s performance - we all wanted to keep the party going! Between a combination of amazing vocals and elevated energy, the band kept the dance floor full all night. Couldn’t recommend any more!

Jennifer Petersen

We hired The Breakfast Klub for a private event, and they were amazing! Their set list was perfect, and they totally looked the part. The band was very friendly and flexible to work with. I would love to hire them again someday!

Jenni Bazard

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!!!!

Gregory Christensen

DJ Don was great! We used Utah Live Bands for our Company Holiday Party and they did a fantastic job!

Hal Blackman

My wife and I finally got married in Mexico on March 12, 2022 after having to move dates twice due to COVID. We chose Utah Live Band's Groove Merchants back in 2020 after scouring the US for the best 16-piece jazz band. Even though we are not located in the same state and we experienced a couple of wedding date changes, Steve & Michael Tobian (the band's managers) were easy to work with and accommodating to our circumstances. Finally, the long awaited wedding day came and the Groove Merchants Band was the hit of the evening!! The band played soft dinner music while guests ate dinner then moved into an energetic and fun vibe for the dancing portion of the evening that kept our guests dancing all night! The band's coordinated dance moves, the high-energy performance, and the big smiles of the band members left us overjoyed with our decision to go with this band. Our expectations were not only met, but exceeded. We will undoubtedly book them again for another event in the future. Do not hesitate to book this band- you will not be disappointed!

Carrie Ritzel

The Utah Swing Orchestra were so talented, fun, professional and awesome! Their music was the best part of my daughter's wedding reception, and so many of our guests gushed compliments of them. I plan on hiring them in the future again for sure.

April Ashland

Stephen at Utah Live Bands is great! We hired the Jay Warren Trio for an event, and they were amazing. Super flexible, amazing performance. Jay and his team are already booked to come back to our next two events! Yes!!

Katie Vincent

The Salamanders were very literally the life and highlight of the party. Most of our guests don't drink, so it's unusual for a dance floor to be full with this crowd, but we actually had a problem getting people OFF the dance floor! We ended up throwing out more than half of the dessert we ordered because people said they were too busy dancing to go eat. Their music choices were awesome crowd pleasers and they put on a great show with the lighting and dancing. Multiple guests contacted us afterwards asking for their information for their own upcoming events. The band leader was great to work with and followed our timeline exactly. They were all professional, appropriately dressed, and even coordinated secretly with my mom to personalize the lyrics of a song that she and her friends did a surprise dance to. I can guarantee we will be calling back when my siblings are engaged!!

Amber Facer

We hired High Society through Utah Live Bands for our daughter’s wedding and it was wonderful! They played several sets and each was perfect for what was scheduled for the wedding reception. Chill music for the dinner and mingling. Upbeat for the dancing. The vocals were amazing and the band energy was infectious! Each band member went above and beyond to make the wedding memorable for everyone there. Our guests had an awesome time and we had so many compliments regarding the band. We will definitely be hiring High Society again, perfect for any event we have!

Mercy Mamalis

We had Groove Merchants. If there were more stars, I would give them all. This band is outstanding! Had them for my daughters wedding and were just thrilled with them. They are easy to work with, tremendous musicians and singers, and high energy. They absolutely made our wedding reception. They were a blast. We have had so many compliments about the band. I cannot say enough good things - by far the best band in Utah. 25 stars!!

CJ Tobian

I love Working with Utah Live Bands! They are so exciting to watch and listen to. Their bands always bring the party with them! Which always makes the videos so much better and more fun on my end haha

Darla Cotton

The High Society band was our entertainment at the Campbell County Republican Party Pink Elephant Ball. They were absolutely wonderful, energetic and had the best sound. Can't rave enough about how great they were. Would have them back anytime.

Hal Tovin

The Salamanders made our daughter’s wedding unforgettable. Rickae and Jordan are outstanding performers and great people. They listened to what kind of music we wanted and created a memorable song list for us. They even learned some songs just for us - and they were spectacular. This band is worth every penny and more if you want an event that is memorable. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding reception they have ever attended!

Penni Rae Zito

Working with Utah Live Bands is a pleasure. They are professional and accommodating, not to mention, first rate talent.

Terrell McCaleb

The Groove Merchants were so fantastic to work with. I am a wedding and event planner, and sometimes we have to make last-minute changes to the timeline of the event, and they were SO accommodating, patient and easy to work with! They got everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, to the dance floor all night long. I could also go on and on about how sweet and wonderful all of the band members were. I now recommend them to all of our brides!

Emily Woodward

We hired the Groove Merchants for an outdoor wedding in Sun Valley and they were fantastic. They were very energetic and we loved the onstage dancing. The dance floor was packed all night long from the first song to the last. They even let the groom, who is an excellent musician join them for a couple of songs.

Jordan Robbins

As a performer long engaged in the entertainment industry, I have been working alongside Utah Live Bands for many years. I have watched them grow, I have watched them build relationships in the community, and I have watched them strive for excellence as they have seen success. Today, they are the clear leader as a regional agency, and they are fast picking up steam nationally and internationally. I can think of very few serious musicians, bands, entertainers, performers, acts, etc. that do not have a close working relationship with Michael Tobian and his team. If you intend to spend money on entertainment in Utah, or if you are looking to tap into Utah's uniquely talented, world class talent pool, do not sign anything until you talk to these people. They are, and have access to, the very best.

Kasey Plourde

We love working with Utah Live Bands! We especially love the band The Salamanders. They know how to keep the vibe alive all night long! As a wedding and event planner, I see a lot of different event entertainment. And the Salamanders are TOP NOTCH. They're professional and FUN--at our last event, they played 3.5 hours STRAIGHT without a break. Impressive! The dance floor was PACKED all night long. These guys are great, as are all of the bands that we trust Utah Live Bands to book on our behalf. Highly recommend.

William Powers

We hired a band for my daughter's wedding from Utah Live Bands without actually seeing anything other than "demos" on the website. These people were amazing. They kept the energy up for the entire evening and had everyone commenting about how good they were. I have advised some of my friends whose daughters are getting married that they should not sweat the small details of the wedding. Just get a great band (Utah Live Bands) and forget worrying about the minutiae. A great band will make the evening! Michael and crew were a delight to work with and the band arrived on time and ready to play.

Josh Cummings

My wife and I hired the Roadside Ramblers for wedding. Our theme was a 20s wedding and the band is known for it's Dixieland boardwalk jazz style which fit perfectly with our theme. These guys were absolutely incredible. My wedding is a thousand times more memorable and definitely more fun thanks to the band. They even read the crowd really well. When people wanted to dance they turned the pace up a notch but when people were eating or mingling then they'd play more background style music. If you're thinking of throwing a 20s party with a large crowd, hire the Roadside Ramblers. Your party will be a blast and it'll be worth every penny.

Megan McLaughlin

Almost 2 weeks later and our wedding guests are STILL raving about the entertainment! Through Utah Live Bands, we were able to hire a DJ, Zoom Live-streaming services and The Roadside Ramblers. From start to finish Mike Tobian (Utah Live Bands Owner & Roadside Ramblers musician) was so accommodating, patient, and kind. Although we had maybe the best wedding planner in the world, planning a destination microwedding during a pandemic presents many challenges and a lot of sleepless nights. Every step of the way, Mike made things easy for us. Livestreaming services: a destination microwedding meant a lot of love ones were not going to be able to attend so making sure they were able to at least watch the ceremony was so important to us. Our virtual guests have complimented not only the quality of the video and audio, but also the ease of logging in (have you tried to have your grandparents log on to a live-stream lately?). They were able to watch us walk down the aisle and exchange vows. While I know that not everyone would necessarily care about this, I did want to note that we had video as well and there was absolutely no interference. In fact, walking down the aisle, I didn't even notice the camera set up until they were taking it down after. DJ: DJ Keith was fantastic! He did the music for the ceremony, music during dinner, and was the MC for the event. His selection was fantastic and he fully respected our do/do not play lists. When it felt like our first dance was getting a little long and I was getting a little awkward, he even cut the music smoothly so we could be done. This sounds silly but wait until its you! Having a DJ/MC that just gets it and can read the room the way he does is SO important. Hire him, you'll thank me later!! The Roadside Ramblers: I cannot say enough good things about them! We used them for both cocktail hour and after dinner. Being a microwedding in a pandemic, we knew our wedding wasn't going to look the same as ones we'd been to in the past. With no dance floor allowed and a guest list of just 22 including us, we were super nervous about our guests being bored or the event being awkward. Instead, it was absolutely amazing! The Roadside Ramblers performed a one hour jazz set during our cocktail hour and then following our sit down 5-course dinner with wine pairing, they took the stage again and helped us transform our wedding from a nice dinner to a jazz/swing lounge. The set list was incredible - think authentic New Orleans swing, highly entertaining and engaging! Let me tell you, no one was bored!! In fact, both sets were so good and so specialized, that everyone thought it was 2 different bands! I'll save you the time on this one too, just hire them - I am SO happy we did!!

Vanessa Nunu

World class performance for a great price! We had a quartet (keys, standing base, drums, vocalist) at our formal awards banquet last week. They arrived on time with their own equipment, played well known songs in a classy lounge style, and they were able to pack up quickly so that we could present our awards. They abided by our formal dress code and even took requests! This band really set the tone of our banquet, and got great reviews from the audience. Our banquet wouldn't have been the same without them. I would definitely recommend this crew to someone who is looking for a versatile team of musicians. They played beautifully together and, from some of the videos I've seen, can get quite lively! We will for sure be booking them again. Thank you!

Jennifer Tarasevich

Simply the best. As an event planner and performer, I've worked at a multitude of events with entertainment provided by Utah Live Bands, and the talent level is second to none. For the most professional musicians and stellar showmanship around, contact Utah Live Bands. The entire event team aims to please and they go above and beyond.

Gregory Staffon

We had The Salamanders play at our daughter's wedding and it was OVER THE TOP!! Working with the band could not have been more seamless. My daughter and I worked out a "special" father-daughter dance and they customized an arrangement for us and it worked out awesome. We were able to provide a dance song list and more importantly a "Do Not Play" list AND they learned some new current songs for us as well. They never took a break and literally no one left the dance floor all night!!!!!!!!! They were able to provide classical guitar work for the ceremony, light music by a trio at the cocktail reception right after the ceremony and then the relentless PARTY music at the reception. There was not a single attendee that has not commented it was the best wedding reception party they have ever been to. Thank you Salamanders for everything, it would not have been the same without you, if I EVER need a band for anything you are my first call. GREAT JOB!!

Anna Fredericks

We have used Utah live bands for 2 years now for opening act at our annual County Fair concert. They have been easy to work with, very professional, accommodating, and provided us excellent entertainment. We have enjoyed working with Maddie Wilson and her band. They're great people who make great music and put on an awesome show. It has truly been our pleasure to have them at the San Juan County Fair.

Pratt Redd

Blanding City throws one of the larges Independence Day celebration in the state of Utah. What makes our celebration the best is the awesome band and firework show we have each year! For the past 5+ years we have worked with Utah Live Bands to get a band booked for our event, and each year its a simple, stress free process that has resulted in a great partnership. 5/5 would recommend using them!

Tom D

This review is for a "Double Barrel" super Wedding weekend experience we had recently in Park City, Utah with "Drive" (for our rehearsal dinner) which was full of energy and just FANTASTIC at getting our guests ( which ranged from 8 - 80 years old) up to dance and "line dance" all night! The following evening at the Wedding we were entertained by "Metro Music Club" and they kept the dance floor full from start to finish! We would highly recommend both bands to anyone looking to have a great event!

Craig Hill

The Salamanders just performed at our daughters wedding Sat night 7/20 at Empire Canyon. Great, high energy performance. Packed dance floor with a lot of compliments from all of the guests. Michael and Stephen were very good and easy to work with. Highly recommend.

Alicia Singer

WOW! What a night! I am a wedding planner in Montana and I have wanted to hire The Salamanders for a wedding for a couple of years. I was finally given the opportunity to do so. Thank you all so much for your professionalism, talent and time. You made the Lohman wedding the event of the year! I cannot tell you how much positive feedback I received from the family and all of the guests. The father of the bride is still on cloud nine after his epic crowd surf. Thank you for allowing are guests to come on the stage with you, for playing non-stop for over three hours, and for being so darn nice and accommodating. I have never worked with a band that was so perfectly dialed in and who I didn’t have to worry about! The ceremony, the sound, and the dance party was more perfect than I could ever ever imagined. Thank you for bringing your talent to Montana.

Sylvia Reece

We had the Groove Merchants play for our banquet/gala. Our group LOVES to dance, and Groove Merchants delivered! They are a great group with a great sound, and they have the flexibility to perform various styles of music from rock to soul/funk/R&B to jazz to country! Hope we get the chance to work with them again!

Hallee Rasmussen

The Groove Merchants are AWESOME! They provided our entertainment for our annual Trade Show and they were so FUN that we decided to have them come back again due to high employee demand. The band's talent and high energy had everyone out on the dance floor and many brave souls up on stage being rock stars themselves doing karaoke. If you want a successful Company party and/or event I highly recommend Groove Merchants.

Diane Trimper

This band made the wedding! They were fun, easy to work with and the music was fantastic!! Our guests never sat down. They danced all night! They were also great fun to watch. It was more than just a band it was a show!! Loved them!

britney Lohman

Dear Salamanders (one of the groups that Utah Live Bands reps), Thank you. Thank you for helping us throw the best party of the summer and the best party of our lives. When Tyler and I started to create the vision for our wedding, one of the pieces we were especially adamant about was that we have a great cover band. A group that could help capture the attention and energy of every generation at the wedding - and with nearly 400 guests, we had about every possible generation represented. We wanted people on the dance floor the entire time. We wanted to answer the question 'How are we going to shut this party down?" and not 'How are we going get people out on the dance floor?". You guys delivered all of that and then some. You delivered the groom and father of the bride their first time crowd surfing. You allowed a close family friend to jump in on the drums. You brought my friends and me on stage for a dance party. You NEVER took a break (people are STILL in awe. It was literally the one thing that everyone talked about for weeks after the wedding.). The Salamanders added the magic to our wedding and got every single person out on the dance floor. You were amazing and we can't tell you how much we appreciated the energy, enthusiasm, charisma, and charm that you brought. It truly made our celebration one that people will remember. And most importantly, one that we will remember as one of the best, most fun days of our lives. If you ever need a reference, I would be more than happy to provide one for you. We are two very satisfied customers. :) Thank you so much!

Elise DeLeon

Michael is always so easy to work with and crucial in putting together a successful event. Our 850 person company summer party was a hit because of the AV equipment, live band, circus entertainment, caricaturists, face painters & balloon artists we booked through him. I look forward to more events to come!

Kassi Johnson

The Heather Roxburgh Group is a local real estate company based out of Draper Utah. We have a yearly client event and the Will and Dave Duo provided by Utah Live Bands created the perfect musical atmosphere for the evening. Utah Live Bands was so easy and pleasant to work with from booking the talent to completing the transaction! We will continue to speak highly of them as a business alliance. Very outstanding establishment!

Jayme Stewart

Utah Live Bands came through at the last minute, literally less than 24 hours in advance to save our company holiday party. Original party host reserved half the casino tables needed and Utah Live Bands were able to come up with additional tables and save the day! Great company, great staff, would HIGHLY recommend!

Carolee Hawkins

Our company has been hosting a 5 star Christmas Party for years. This year was no different with 740 people in attendance. I decided to mix it up from our usual DJ and hire Groove Merchants. They are PURE entertainment!!!! I can't tell you the number of people who approached me at the party who commented on the band and how they really set the tone for a fun night! Our party ends at midnight and they had the dance floor packed right up until the end! I've already booked them for our 2016 Christmas Party!

Kaleb Crafts

Utah Live Bands is so easy to work with. They have loads of bands across all genres of music and I've never been dissapointed. Working in the event industry, we have lots of occasion to work with Utah Live Bands. They are awesome!

Pam E

Just celebrated our daughter's first wedding anniversary - and friends are still commenting on the fabulous band. Groove Merchant's had us all dancing and entertained at Blue Sky. A perfect location and an amazing band!

Adam Overacker

I've worked with and for Utah Live Bands many times over the years and have always had a great experience. They treat their people well and are easy to communicate with. I look forward to working with/for Utah Live Bands for many years to come.

Erin Boyce

The Salamanders were AMAZING!!! They are not only incredibly talented but their energy and ability to read the crowd kept the dance floor full the entire night. Everyone is still talking about how great they were - "best wedding band" people have ever seen!

Alan Johnson

The Rupert, Idaho 4th of July Celebration kicked off our 2017 event by having the the Salamanders Band for our opening night concert in the park series. This is the second time we have had this band and we think that the Salamanders should be billed as the number #1 performance band in the Intermountain region! Two and a half hour concert in the park with an amazing selection of songs, unbelievable high energy vocals, surrounded by a band that is absolutely amazing. Don't hesitate to get this band for your next event and you will have such a great time!

Kelli Griffin May

Best bad ever! They are perfect for every audience. We had a mixed group of community members, college students, alumni, and donors at our event and they pleased everyone. They are fun, up beat, sound amazing and are so wonderful to work with. You cannot go wrong with this band!

Marla Graybill

Very professional. Everything ran smoothly and they were helpful assisting us in our needs. Extremely pleased with Artie's Iron Horse band. Best party ever. Will definitely use Utah Live Bands in the future.

Gamyr Worf

The 4 piece Jazz Band we just had at our Black Tie Awards Banquet was the perfect touch that tied the mood of the whole evening together. We loved every bit of the performance, and can't wait to use you guys again! Such professionalism!

Susanna Robison

I've worked with them for a lot of events and they are always amazing! Their bands always provide a great show, tons of energy and so easy to work with. I recommend them to everyone I know who is looking for a band.

Grant Hewit

Cannot say enough positive things about The Groove Merchants. They were professional, talented and most importantly, HIGH ENERGY which kept our party going late into the night. We would 100% hire them again!

Samantha Rothstein

The Salamanders were beyond AMAZING for our wedding! Our dance floor was packed the entire night and they kept the energy going! Everyone is still talking about how unbelievable the band was, it was definitely a highlight of the night!!!

Becky Caldwell

I hired a 4-piece Jazz combo for our daughter's wedding. We were very pleased with the band and the atmosphere they created at the party. Live music made a big impact!

Bethany Kette

They were my wedding band and were a HUGE hit. Absolutely everyone loved them and thought they were fantastic. Played the classics but accommodated most of our requests and overall were so much fun to have. Thank you!

robert ogle

The Dance Doctors performed at our community 4th of July celebration. The quality and variety of music was excellent. But. more important, their audience interraction pulled out singing and dancing from every age group. They have my highest recommendation.

Tori Searl

The Groove Merchants are the most incredible band! They made our wedding a night to remember and satisfied all of our guests from young to older. Thank you so very much!

Nathan Larsen

The Salamanders are amazing!!! We had them at our convention with people from around the world, and they killed it! the far majority of the people in attendance did not even speak English, but yet couldn't get enough of the the Salamaanders! They are top level entertainers!!!

Viviana Durand

The Salamanders was an incredible addition to the event. Professional and super fun to work with and everyone enjoyed an amazing performance. Michael was quick at responding and made the booking process easy.

Hayley Kirkland

Very, very impressed! I have been to many events where they have provided entertainment (various bands) and they are not only professional but extremely good musicians. I can't wait to see and hear more, hopefully soon!

Zoë Smith

SHOW STOPING! We booked Mimi valentine and the gentleman's club for our valentines event at the living planet aquarium. and they we the highlight of the whole event.

Craig Greenberg

The Salamanders did an outstanding job at my son's wedding. Everyone raved about how good they were. The dance floor was crowed until the end.

Jeri Covey

It's been 3 months and I still run into people that comment that it was the best party they'd ever been to. People had the time of their lives. Would definitely hire them again. They were so good; it was like attending a high end rock concert.

David Askvig

They found us a great band. Artie Hemphill was perfect for our corporate event. Will and Dave Duo was great as well.

Stephanie Weber

The Dance Doctors are masters at what they do. The talent in this band is incredible. Hire them, you will not be disappointed.

Jennie Brett

Covered was so great at our outdoor party!!! Everyone at the party loved them and they were a pleasure to work with as the hostess. I would definitely hire them again.

Heidi Fransen

The cellist and harpist were both amazing and the perfect addition to our event. Thank you so much!

Rosemary Jarman

Groove Merchants brought the perfect ambiance to the 4th of July celebration. The perfect combination of talent, energy and personality. Could've listened all night.

Madison Maynard

The crowd loved them! The dance floor was packed the entire night. Such a fun set list. Everyone was singing along.

Melinda Boyce

The Salamanders are by far the best wedding/party band of all time. Do yourself a favor and hire them before they become unaffordable!

Kristin Young

Simply wonderful! Everyone that we worked with was very responsive and even last minute requests were taken care of. We will definitely work with them again.
