From honoring traditions in red to celebrating the night away in timeless black and white, this couple looked incredible in both. With friends and family cheering them on every step of the way (and on the beats plus setting the tone), the night was nothing but joy, energy, and unforgettable moments.

The ceremony may seal the vows, but the reception is where the magic truly unfolds. It’s where laughter blends with happy tears, hugs turn into dances, and couples get to celebrate with the people who matter most.

That’s why choosing the right DJ matters. At Powell Weddings and Events, we weave together the emotion, energy, and ambiance so every guest feels part of your story.

Serving up vibes at Market Street Utah! 🎉

The ultimate trifecta: stunning photos, unforgettable food, and a vibe that just won’t quit. Market Street Utah brought the perfect backdrop — warm wood, cozy booths, and that golden-hour glow that feels straight out of a movie.

Morgan nailed every laugh, cheers, and dance move. The food? Show-stopping. And DJ Russ kept the energy high all night, mixing the perfect soundtrack to match the vibe.

Let’s talk about the perfect wedding soundtrack!

Picture this: you’re walking down the aisle to the lush, romantic sounds of a live string ensemble, every note setting the mood for your “I do’s.” Fast forward to the reception, suddenly, the energy shifts, the lights dim, and the dance floor comes alive with beats that keep everyone moving all night long.

That’s the kind of musical journey we love to create with amazing partners like !

What’s your dream wedding music combo? Ceremony strings, DJ party, or something totally out of the box?

We’ve done violin, trumpet, sax, cello—you name it, I LOVE mixing it up with the best musicians in the game!

When beats meet brass, MAGIC happens! 🎷🎧

This fusion experience hits different—watching the dance floor EXPLODE when those live sax notes cut through the perfect beat drop is what I live for!

Nothing says luxury events like blending unexpected elements. That moment when digital precision meets raw musical talent… PURE electricity that transforms your celebration from great to unforgettable!

Which live musician should I collaborate, to create fusion, with next?

EMERALD CITY CAME TO LIFE at the Homeschool Prom! 🧙‍♂️✨ As your musical WIZARD of the evening, I brought ALL the magical vibes and turned that dance floor into the ultimate Yellow Brick Road of ENERGY!

These incredible students didn't just follow the yellow brick road—they OWNED it! From shy beginnings to full-on dance circles, watching everyone find their courage, heart, and brains on the dance floor was pure MAGIC!

The sparkling silver jacket was in FULL effect as I worked my wizard powers behind the booth! Creating those unforgettable moments is what makes this DJ life so special—whether it's a themed prom, wedding, or corporate event!

Our Story

Servicing the DJ and MC needs of destination weddings and the Wasatch Front since 2004, Squawkbox Sound & DJ Services has now become Powell Weddings & Events: where we treat you like family. We’ve added a professional photographer in Morgan Leigh, and silent disco headsets with Mobile Party Starters. Our business started when Russ had a local touring indie rock band. One of his friends, Joe Tullius, asked to borrow the rockin’ sound system for his sister Tiffany’s backyard wedding. Russ wasn’t inclined to lend his expensive equipment out without supervision, so he offered to help instead. Michelle knowing Russ wasn’t fully comfortable with his knowledge of ‘90s country offered to come as well. At that wedding, two different couples came up and said they loved the music and atmosphere created and would like to hire us for their receptions. From there it snowballed into a full-service mobile DJ company that focused mainly on weddings and was known for their fun and professional demeanor. Fast forward to today where the equipment has changed, the level of services has been increased, the number of DJs has multiplied, and the love of special events has grown stronger; the attention to detail remains the same. Because, we treat you like family.
