Witnessing beauty innovation in its purest form! ✨ I got to be part of this incredible moment from the Motherline skincare launch - a brand born from a mother's determination to heal her family's skin naturally.

As a DJ who's constantly meeting people, celebrating life's biggest moments, I know firsthand how confidence in your skin can transform your entire experience. Love seeing brands that understand healing comes from within and that what we put ON our bodies is just as important as what goes IN them.

🐎 Thrilled for this year’s Skijoring event, where horsepower meets winter sports in the most epic way possible! While I won’t be DJing this year, I’m still so excited to attend. Think horse riding meets water skiing in downtown SLC.

There's something magical about mixing the perfect soundtrack for riders racing through the snow, pulled by magnificent horses at breathtaking speeds; while the crowd cheers them on snuggled close in warm coats and gloves. It's like orchestrating a winter symphony where every beat matches the thundering hooves and swooshing skis!

As a DJ, I'm not just dropping tracks – I'm creating the pulse that keeps both riders and spectators moving in this unique winter spectacle.

🎿 Ready to experience the thrill of Skijoring? Drop a ❄️ in the comments if you'll be joining us for this unforgettable winter event on February 8th! And tell me - what songs would you want to hear while watching horses and skiers tear up the snow?

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.
