Testimonials
“Awesome wedding DJ! They totally picked up on our music tastes and made great matching suggestions at our Log Haven wedding in Salt Lake City!”
Jay + Katelyn
“Nate and his team are incredible. We used them two years ago for our wedding (which was the absolute best night of our lives!), but recently Nate moved mountains to help us with a Celebration of Life for my mom. We relied on him to help us set the right atmosphere for the event, and he did an incredible job. He took all of the stress and pressure off of us, and is always so kind and compassionate. Thank you Nate, we appreciate you so much!!”

“What a delight Cameron was to work with. He went above and beyond the call of duty these past two days. His cheerful disposition and kindness helped make two long events bearable. He went out of his way to accommodate all of our special guests and stakeholders. He’s a true professional. I look forward to working with Amplify again in the near future.”
Jenny, Legislative Session Events at the Capitol
“Me and my wife attended 9 weddings in one year, 6 of which were DJ’d by Amplify, and man could we tell the difference! We used Nate to DJ our wedding and he was nothing short of amazing, but you seriously can’t go wrong with any of their DJs. This is one thing you cannot skimp on for your wedding day. It will seriously make or break your wedding! Amplify helps your timeline stay on track without any weird silent moments and gets the party started and keeps it that way! Their DJs are professional and go above and beyond to make your day perfect. From the special lighting to a custom song that Nate made for my wife’s surprise bridesdudes dance, Nate made our wedding a memory we will cherish forever. My wife and I even did a karaoke entrance with Nate’s help and extra equipment. We cannot thank Nate and Amplify enough for making our wedding the party of a lifetime!”
Samantha + Chelsea
“I am so glad we found Amplify for our Park City wedding in September! The whole process of working with them was fantastic. From the initial call with Nate to ironing out details with our DJ Ryan, in every part of the process they truly listened and made sure they understood our vision. When I told Ryan I really wanted a ukulele player to play a song as I walked down the aisle, he went above and beyond by learning our song and playing it on our wedding day! It was such a special moment and something we will never forget. We had a short time frame, and Ryan did a fantastic job keeping things moving during our reception so that we could get everything in without feeling rushed. Amplify was a huge part of making our wedding day absolutely perfect.”
Alexandra + Cesar
“Exceptional!!! To say Amplify is a DJ service does them a disservice. Amplify is truly an entertainment provider. They customize their entertainment service to your event to provide the best experience possible for your guests. Their ability to read the crowd is amazing! They know when to hype up and when to settle down and when to keep the party going! They coordinate with the event’s host(s), venue coordinator, event planner, and whoever else involved with the event to ensure the entertainment goes beyond expectations. They can get the deadest crowd jumping! Worth every penny!”

“Would recommend to everyone! Nate was quick to respond when we began inquiring about our wedding reception. I envisioned a certain flow to each part of my wedding and knew I would need someone to understand the concept, and Nate did just that. He worked with my planner and me so well to make sure the wedding vision was not only executed but perfect. From the ceremony music to our very last dance, Nate was amazing. I would recommend him if you want your wedding to be perfect!!! Thanks for everything, you killed it! -much love, the Taylor’s.”
McCall + Neal
“We heard about the founder of Amplify, Nate, and his DJing skills from my co-worker, who is also using Nate at her wedding and saw him at another friend’s wedding. She said he was awesome! Trusting her, I contacted Amplify and I’m SO happy I did!! Nate was amazing to work with and we made sure to lock him in for our date! He is extremely thorough and honestly wants to make sure he can help you create the best day ever! The day of the wedding, Nate did NOT disappoint! He helped everything flow smoothly and WOW, does he know how to get a crowd going and on the dance floor! As the bride, I had so much fun and my family and friends loved how interactive Nate was and getting everyone out of their seats and on the dance floor. He even helped my husband and I create special surprises as my husband picked our first dance and I picked our last dance and ONLY Nate knew what they were! If you want to have FUN at your wedding, you only have one option, hire Amplify!!”
Abby + Dave
“I am here to tell you – Nate is your guy!! Best DJ ever! I did not leave the dance floor all night long and that’s exactly what I had hoped for. I have had SO many guests talk about our wedding and comment on how fun it was and how great our DJ was. Nate listens to your wants/needs and takes it to a whole different level. Beyond expectations!!! Working with him throughout the entire process was so seamless. Very professional. We cannot thank you enough!”
Haleigh + Phoenix
“My wife and I chose Amplify as the DJ at our wedding last week, and that was the second best decision we made. The best decision was opting for the Nate Guarantee aka Dibs on Nate. Nate, the founder of Amplify, went above and beyond like nothing I could have imagined. This dude knows music, and is passionate about bringing you exactly what you want to your event. I feel like my wife and I made a friend, rather than just worked with a vendor. Two amazing things he did to make the night unforgettable was use my wife’s late grandmother’s organ music during our ceremony that we converted to mp3s for him. The second thing he did was throw on my homemade Marshmello helmet from back when I went to a show and dance with us. It was amazing, and I recommend him and any DJ with this company to anyone looking to amplify their event!”
McLain + Olivia
“We recently used Nate from Amplify for an office Christmas party. Nate was fantastic. He hit the right mood for the event and really added to the party. We will definitely use him again.”
John, Corporate Client
“Nate was very professional and truly loves what he does! He made our social event very special! I would 10/10 recommend Amplify to anyone!!!! You won’t regret it!”
Isabel
“We booked with Amplify back in the beginning of 2019, for my daughter’s wedding which was scheduled for May 2020. Then the pandemic hit and derailed my daughter’s original wedding plans. I spoke with Nate to let him know my worries about the coronavirus due to health concerns for myself and our guests and we would have to reschedule. He assuring me he would go ahead and refund all monies except the non-refundable $250 deposit, three days later the refund showed up on my credit card. Many couples are wrestling with vendors over receiving a refund or a credit after the coronavirus crisis halted their wedding plans. Amplify is not one of those vendors, Nate said my deposit could be used anytime, even if we decided to have something in 2022 or later. His understanding showed me that Amplify isn’t just in business to make money, but Nate and Amplify sincerely care about their customers. We really appreciate the great service and hope to re-book in the near future!”
April, Mother of the Bride
“Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you so much for DJing our wedding!!! You were amazing and it was the best party! I can’t tell you how many compliments we got from out guests, young and old. They loved the music and you! It was a perfect combination of new and old jams. And I have to say, the Bohemian Rhapsody battle was my favorite part! The bartenders at Solitude also said they’d never seen a wedding where so many guests were dancing, so it’s safe to say you killed it! Thank you, again. It was a pleasure to work with you and Amplify!”
George + Jessica
“It was a night to remember! We really enjoyed working with Dave from Amplify! I was nervous as we didn’t actually meet him until the day of the wedding (we’re from Arizona, wedding in Park City, so we planned by phone), yet he still did a great job. We wanted the night to be a lively party and he nailed it! Amplify’s interactive planning tools are really helpful when planning. We highly recommend Dave and the Amplify team!”
Michelle + Scotty
“Fantastic, easy, affordable, worth it. Amazing. My wedding guests were asking if Amplify could DJ in their home states. Their paperwork covered everything necessary and more. They were easy to reach and extremely pleasant to work with. We live in California and they were accommodating to work with us online/on the phone and willing to work with the venue requirements/mandates. They even FaceTimed us before the wedding to meet “face-to-face”, go over all of the details, and get a sense of our music tastes more clearly. The night went perfectly in regard to the music/DJ. Fantastic communication, clear contract, and amazing DJ personality. Oh, and an affordable price too! Would highly highly recommend Amplify to any and all.”
Steven + Ashley
“Complete blast! We went with Amplify based off a previous wedding we went to and we were not disappointed at their event or ours. Wes was the most fun and attentive DJ. He played the best music and even danced with our guests. We could not have asked for a better experience with this company!”
Stephanie + Jacob
“Dave was absolutely amazing at our wedding!!! I cannot recommend him enough. All of our guests loved him and he had everyone out on the dance floor! We got a lot of compliments on his fun, interactive personality and phenomenal/varietal song choices. He played beautiful music at our ceremony too, and set us up with a microphone. We met with Dave for about an hour, a few weeks before the wedding, to go over details. He was very thorough and asked a lot of questions, which we appreciated. Amplify has great wedding reception and ceremony questionnaires, which helped a ton with planning and instruction. Amplify was so easy to work with, also! Both Dave and Nate were very friendly, responsive, and helpful. They helped make our wedding reception the dance party we wanted it to be!”
Jessica + George
“These guys are awesome! Dave was great and we felt he went out of his way to make our day special. Would recommend to anyone!”
Mitch + Miranda
“SO MUCH FUN!! My wife and I had the chance to work with Nate and Dakota for our wedding a few weeks ago, and they were outstanding. Dakota, our onsite DJ, just nailed the music selection. Both young and old were out on the dance floor the whole evening. We purchased a package with reception and ceremony coverage and it worked perfectly. Because our ceremony was outside, and the reception inside, Dakota even was able to provide a satellite setup for music as guests transitioned locations during the cocktail hour. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Amplify, for providing the soundtrack to our wedding day. One we’ll never forget. All our love, Kai & Lindsey”
Kai + Lindsey
“Dakota was our DJ for our wedding. We had a blast. Even though we had a lot of Latin music requests since it was an American/Argentinian wedding, he managed to mix the music and kept all guests dancing for many hours. Great communication from day one, very easy and comfortable to work with. I would recommend Dakota 100%. Thank you for making our night so perfect and fun!!”
Valentina + Nick
“We hired Amplify for my wedding reception. They were easy to work with, quick to respond and very professional. Dave did an awesome job on the night of our event. He made sure everything went according to our timeline and helped everyone have a great time. We would definitely use them again!”
Kate + William
“Dakota went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding. There was always someone on the dance floor, and he matched our music taste with the guests still being involved. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!”
Laura + Frank
“I am extremely happy we chose Amplify to DJ our wedding! Nate was nothing less than amazing and he knew how to read our crowd to a T! We added a couple of last minute things that he was able to accommodate so smoothly. I’d recommend Amplify to everyone. We had a blast at our wedding! Thank you, Nate!”
Kendra + Spencer
“Choosing Amplify to DJ our wedding was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding reception. We highly recommend them! They are absolutely worth it.
Communication with them was excellent from day one. They were always flexible and understanding of busy schedules, our time zone differences, and were always very conscious of the wedding planning process we were going through. Their online planning system worked great for information, setting up meetings and easy online payments. They helped us figure out which package would be best for our type of reception, and they were never pushy about adding any extras that we were not interested in. It was truly a great experience and a pleasure to work them.
We got matched up with Dakota, who just absolutely exceeded our expectations. Dakota was experienced, organized, super easy to talk to and very patient with us, all our questions as well as requests. He was able to help us figure out details we had not thought about before, made great suggestions and was able to do exactly what we asked of him. He was dressed very well and looked sharp for the occasion. Dakota was also able to use a lot of the music we added to our Spotify playlist with suggestions we liked and must-play songs. He was also a great listener and was very receptive to our idea of what we wanted the evening to feel like.
He had a great sense for the crowd and made sure everyone had a great time. We were really relieved and glad to have him there. We did all the planning ourselves and did not have a wedding coordinator for the day, just pre-delegated tasks and going with the flow the rest of the time. We tried to keep things as uncomplicated as we could. Somehow it all worked out and Dakota was able to help us make sure we did all the things we were supposed to, including having a good time! I can’t say we would have remembered we had a cake to cut if he had not called us to do it. He was wonderful! We really can’t say enough good things about him.
Amplify is an absolutely excellent vendor to work with and I will highly recommend them to anyone planning an event. We feel the service we received was beyond our expectations. Thank you Amplify and thank you Dakota!”
Luisa + Quinn
“Wes from Amplify had everyone dancing at our wedding reception the entire night! He was professional, easy to work with, and had great suggestions as we were planning our reception. Thanks to him, we all had an amazing night to remember forever!! Thank you Wes!!”
Allison + Alex
“I spoke with many DJs before I chose Nate with Amplify for my wedding on New Years Eve. Everyone promised they could make our night memorable, but Nate stood out. His prices are very competitive for the market, and he takes running his company seriously. In fact, he runs his company the way all consumers hope any service-based company will be run, but very very few are. Mostly we get people like electricians who give you a 9-1 window and show up at 2 the next day. Nate couldn’t be more of a shining star in his field. He is reliable, honest, kind, and responsive. He didn’t oversell or make lofty claims that he couldn’t keep — he explained his goals and operation truthfully and made assurances on value and quality that he stuck to. We chose one of his DJs for our event who had to drop out for personal reasons about a month before, and Nate handled it perfectly. He had a solution instantly (he had already secured another DJ for us when he told us our first had to step away), he was apologetic and took ownership of the issue but remained confident and reassuring that it would be fixed. As it turned out, we couldn’t have been happier with the DJ he chose for us. We got married in Salt Lake City, with Ryan as our DJ, and I can’t tell you how many times I heard people scream “THIS DJ IS KILLING IT!” He was nice and easy to work with and he totally understood exactly what vibe we were setting. He took the job seriously, but he wasn’t stiff or overly formal, and we just loved him. Plus, he nailed the ceremony and dinner playlist, kept the dance floor completely full, and played songs even I was yelling “ohmagod I haven’t heard this song in 10 years!” …before singing every word. We couldn’t have been happier with Amplify, as a business or as a DJ.”
Callie + Gabriel
“Thank you so much for being the best DJ/MC ever! We loved every moment of our wedding and you had a huge part in that, from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the last song and group hug (which was one of our favorite moments of the weekend)! That was such a special ending to our wedding and we can’t thank you enough. Our family members kept telling us how much they were enjoying the music throughout the night and our friends had a blast!”
Lauren + Trevor
“We had the best experience with Amplify! Dave was our DJ for our wedding, and he made the entire night as special as we had always imagined. All the forms were very comprehensive, and we got the mood and genre of music we wanted without having to put extensive time into choosing all the songs – we gave Dave a list of what we liked and he created the perfect playlist. Our night was so much fun, thanks to Amplify! Would definitely hire them for another event!”
Kaity + Reece
“These guys are incredible! I originally chose Amplify because they were super responsive and flexible in terms of communication when I was shopping around for a wedding DJ. After I booked them, they made planning for the ceremony and reception very easy. Ryan was my wedding DJ in Salt Lake and he played the right music all night and kept people on the dance floor. Some of my guests told me they’ve never seen such a high percentage of people dancing at a wedding before. Our guests danced for hours and Ryan seemed like he was having as much fun as the rest of us! Definitely book Amplify if you are looking for a night to remember and a party your guests won’t soon forget.”
Carlos + Holly
“Amplify did a wonderful job! Our DJ, Ryan, did a great job doing our wedding. He made it easy for my brother, who sang during the ceremony, to set up smoothly. I had a BLAST dancing with all of my friends and family. There wasn’t a dull moment. Even after we left, he stayed another couple of hours with my girlfriends while they danced the night away!”
Sianna + Daniel
“Our wedding reception was outdoors at our family home, and our DJ, Ryan, was set up under some trees about 30 yards from the house, and he had no problem accommodating us! He did an excellent job. We filled out Amplify’s forms and then made some suggestions to Ryan about some music we liked; we even gave him music from local bands from overseas. Ryan was able to use our personal music and our suggestions to create exactly what we’d hoped for, and we got many compliments on the music selection. Our reception was somewhat unique in that we arrived via boat, and Ryan was able to coordinate music with our arrival. He also worked well with the cocktail band we had play for the first hour of our reception.”
Lauren + Alastair
“We hired Amplify for a wedding in Salt Lake City and our DJ was Dave. The company was prompt and responsive to calls, texts and email, the flow of the party was maintained, Dave reacted swiftly to changes on the fly, and they had no problem finding all the music on our playlist, even though we had a lot of obscure Indian songs. But most of all, he was able to read the crowd and switch up the music selection to keep the dancing going. Far better than expected for a perfect evening.”
Alex + Sana
“Ryan was our DJ for the entire event for my daughter’s wedding. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour and reception, Ryan did a stellar job in taking care of the music and entertainment. We had special requests for both the ceremony and dancing during the reception, and Ryan handled it perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for better. Nate runs a first-class operation and I would recommend Ryan and Amplify to everyone looking for the best in DJs, sound systems and overall entertainment. They simply can’t be beat! My other daughter is also engaged and will be married next year. I will definitely be using Amplify and requesting Ryan for this event.”
Marty (Mother of the Bride)
“Our wedding was an absolute blast thanks to Nate! My husband (Nate) and I cannot thank Nate enough for an absolutely, perfectly, wonderful, magical evening! I HIGHLY recommend Nate Long and the whole Amplify team! I was a long distance bride so I did all of my planning remotely. From our first conversation I had no doubt that I made the right choice for our wedding. We had a holiday-themed wedding with a holiday-themed playlist and Nate nailed EVERY moment, every detail! Our wedding guests were so impressed, they wanted copies of the playlist! That is just how talented and devoted Nate is to making your day memorable for you and your guests. We got everything we could have wanted and more when we chose Amplify for our wedding. An advocate, planner, coordinator and master of fun! We could not have pulled this off without Nate’s magic and cannot thank him enough from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you!!!”
Amelia + Nate
“Amplify was fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough! They did a wonderful job of getting the music we wanted and our DJ, Ryan, kept the party going for our guests. They were the best!”
Jenny + Mikey
“I originally hired another DJ, but when I met Nate and Esther, I knew I HAD to have them!! Esther was AMAZING and all of the guests raved about her! Great service, friendly, professional, showed up early, and played awesome music! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to have an amazing experience!”
Desiree + Stewy
“Just ask for Patrick – do yourself that favor because he is seriously the best DJ and gave us the best ceremony and reception! He was extremely helpful on the day of helping my husband cut the music down to a specific progression for my processional and did an excellent job guiding everyone through the evening! The personalized service and attention to detail really made our experience with Amplify amazing and I would not hesitate to have them DJ any event in the future!”
Aiden + Andrea
“If you don’t have Amplify as your DJ for you wedding or any event, you’re missing out!! I am so impressed with this group. Not only are they super professional and nice, but they are so organized! And not to mention they are VERY affordable. Our DJ was so detailed. He gave us a questionnaire where we can write specifically what songs we wanted ahead of time. He also scheduled a final meeting with my husband and I prior to the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly. They were flexible on the payment methods and our DJ even asked how he should dress for our wedding! I could go on and on but the truth of the matter is that we received so many compliments on our DJ from our guests. Everyone was dancing the whole time; it was incredible 🙂 Thank you so much, Amplify, for being one of the least stressful vendors for our wedding and delivering the best party ever!!”
Carolina + Ryan
“The staff at Amplify were excellent! They helped with the planning process in detail and made it easy to design the perfect event. I cannot brag enough about our DJ, Esther, who helped tremendously the day of the wedding by acting as our master of ceremonies, announcing each event and keeping us on track with our timeline, and even stepped in to help out in other ways as needed. She also played all of our favorite music and helped everyone to have an amazing time! We highly recommend Amplify!!!”
Ashlee + Louis
“When we started wedding planning I was pretty adamant that I did NOT want a DJ. I’ve been to too many weddings with obnoxious DJs. But my mom convinced me to do it for several reasons. Choosing Amplify was one of the best decisions that I could have made and I would do it again 100 times over. They did plenty of prep work with phone calls and surveys to know exactly what we wanted, what we didn’t want and how the evening was going to go. They were on time and extremely professional. The music selection was perfect for a mixed age crowd and they did a great job of transitioning from cocktail hour to dinner and dancing. Definitely choose them for your event, I couldn’t be happier!”
