Lyle Powers is a fantastic dj for weddings! He is very laid back and personable. My favorite part was he got every age group on the dance floor and played different genres of music...
. We were dancing all night! He also knows different types of games to play during your reception as well. Highly recommend!!
Lyle did a wonderful job as our wedding DJ. From the first initial phone call months before to the actual day we knew he was going to be great. He is very professional and very tho...
rough with his questionnaire. He has a great understanding of all aspects of a wedding. He went above and beyond when we (last minute) needed to find a keyboard to rent. He got us in contact with a vendor within minutes and we had a keyboard secured for our ceremony music. We rented a photo booth (GIFFY) through Sugar Sand Sound and it was a hit! Everybody had fun with the props and the photos were great. Lyle was very attentive and made sure we had a signal to indicate our song change during our special dances. He really worked with us and all the vendors to make sure things ran smoothly. We highly recommend Sugar Sand Sound for your event!
Sean F. was our DJ for our wedding at Boyne Mountain. He was great and communicative throughout the whole day.
There were a couple moments of slip ups and we had some sound issues...
due to the wind, but other than that, everything was great.
The dance floor was packed all night, and that is exactly what we wanted out of our wedding!
Lyle was very friendly but unfortunately we didn't have the best experience. We put together a whole timeline, and not many of the songs were played correctly. The wrong song was p...
layed when I walked down the aisle, when the bridal party exited the ceremony and our closing song was neglected to be played. The music didn't fit well with age group of the guest. He seemed a little bit too laid back, and didn't take our request very serious.
Lyle knows how to keep the party going and is a super nice guy but we met with him a week before our wedding to make sure everything was set, make sure he had our timeline (which h...
e did), and went over all the little details to make sure the day went by flawlessly. On the day of our wedding he decided to perch himself on top of a stage where he was in every picture that was taken of the entire bridal party after he told us he would set up in a spot where he wouldn’t be in our pictures. The timeline my husband and I put together had everything on it to make the night go by seamlessly and he lost the page that had all the reception events in detail. When we came to make our grand entrance for our reception at 5:30, we had to wait an extra 10 minutes after our set time to enter because he decided that he needed to run out to his car at 5:30 when he was supposed to be announcing us to come in. For the rest of the night I had to have my maid of honor rewrite our timeline for him to make him stop trying to cut out everything we had planned. For our shoe game, there was never a discussion where he told us that he was going to ask the questions so I had my maid of honor write the questions and our dj insisted that he ask his questions instead with some of hers mixed in and you could blatantly tell which questions came from his generic questions and which ones came from my maid of honor. To end the night, my mom has to go tell him twice to play the last song and after the second time he told her that I had never given him a last song to play so he refused to announce it when our conversation beforehand was that I did not care what he played for the last song just as long as it was announced at 10:45 so we could do our sparkler exit and get on our limo before our time ran out. All in all, the service we received was completely unprofessional and added a lot more stress to my day then I needed.
Simply AMAZING!!! Lyle coordinated with my husband and I who live out of state. He sent us a questionnaire to ensure that he knew exactly what we wanted on our special day. Once in...
state, a few days prior to the big day, we met with Josh. Josh was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. My husband and I had concerns about not having enough people to do a bouquet/garter toss; having more older guests who are not the dancing types; and guest not being able to hear during the ceremony. Josh immediately put us at ease with his solutions. It was evident that Josh was experienced in this line of work and could come up with creative solutions. The music selection was perfect. I did not want to leave the dance floor. All our guests said the music selection was great and they enjoyed the variety. I am so happy and grateful that we hired Josh for both the ceremony and reception. I would not have changed a thing. Thank you for making our day perfect!
Being a professional officiant I can say that Sugar Sand Sound is one of the best. Their ceremony sound is second to none with state of the art equipment. They lapel mic’d the groo...
m and I, everyone could hear what was being said. They watched me very closely and are constantly adjusting the sound when I’d speak, tuning my mic down or off when the bride and groom spoke.
I’ve also watched them as DJ’s, and there again, they have perfect timing when it was time for wedding reception functions.
Sugar Sand Sound are absolutely top notch professionals.
Josh did an incredible job and he kept our guests dancing all night. He is very funny and makes an excellent MC as well as a DJ.
