Sugarbomb Entertainment

leading up to the actual event, and he did an amazing job of playing music that made both us and our guests incredibly happy. The photo booth was a huge hit, everything was mic'd up perfectly so all could hear our vows and music at our outdoor ceremony, and we are SO grateful that the string quartet we booked through Sugarbomb was willing to play our unique (and even custom-arranged) song selections. We could not recommend Jon and Sugarbomb more highly. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding day!

swer questions, and provide suggestions thanks to their previous in-depth knowledge of our venue. We also booked Mindy Cutcher, an incredible harpist, through Sugarbomb and she absolutely made our ceremony! The rest of our evening went perfectly, and Jon's timing and music sequence was great throughout dinner and later to keep our guests on the dancefloor. Some of our most memorable moments were us dancing to our no-skip songs during the reception. Also, up-lighting absolutely transformed our reception hall and really set the mood for a lively dancefloor! We can't recommend Sugarbomb enough to any couple looking for excellent DJ and lighting services!

gy was electric, and the music was spot-on from start to finish. The photobooth was a huge hit with our guests, and we received the proofs within a week, which was a great surprise. Everything felt seamless and well-run. We’d highly recommend Sugarbomb as a full-service entertainment outfit. They brought the party to life and made the night unforgettable.

was one that I loved. We couldn't have asked for better.

tly. He was great to have at our wedding! He was the best MC we could ask for - just involved the perfect amount.

hes clearly, which was really important to us. Jon was a great MC, especially when our timeline shifted unexpectedly during the reception. He kept the energy up, adapted effortlessly, and made sure everything flowed smoothly. We’re so grateful for his professionalism and presence throughout the night!

a wedding DJ!

vibe we were going for and kept the energy high all night, our guests never left the dancefloor. He even thought to play the Eagles Fight Song which was a great personal touch! The prices are budget friendly and we recommend adding the lighting package for an even better experience. 10/10!

l for his knowledge and expertise in the wedding industry as it was very helpful to us on our day. And the best part — the music! Our dance floor was full for HOURS with family and friends I never expected to dance. The music was on point for every song and we are so appreciative!! He also made an amazing mix tape for me and my dad. Would absolutely recommend for any event!!  

ghly recommend Jon and his band for any celebration if you're looking for a great music selection and a wonderful group of people to work with.

e! Every song was a hit and matched our vibe perfectly. From the moment we started working with him, Jon was so easygoing, kind, and professional. He really listened to what we wanted and made the night feel completely us. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had — we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! If you want an unforgettable party, Jon is your guy.

coordinate with and it was so clear that he wanted to make sure our day was perfect. I was concerned about bringing in and connecting a third party piano for a friend to play, and Jon was so patient and diligent to make sure it all worked 100%. In choosing DJ Dan, we let him know we wanted the reception to be full of joy and love and also one big dance party... and he did not disappoint. He was thorough in wanting to make sure he understood our music preferences and the order of the day. Literally everyone was commenting on how his unique mixes and song choices were so cool and kept everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. I can assure you that choosing Sugarbomb Entertainment for your event will 10000% not disappoint!

have changed a thing about working with Sugarbomb.

wedding. Mitch also was great for the lighting during the ceremony and reception, which is a feat in a dark room that we used. Totally worth every moment because it was such a great vendor.

our DJ and he was truly talented. Everyone was out on the dance floor the whole night! We can't thank Martin and sugarbomb enough!

wanted and everyone enjoyed music!

a talent blending songs together, helping navigate events (dances, cake, announcements, etc), and communicating with us so much before our big day. He helped put us at ease of any qualms we had. In addition, our Photo Booth attendant was so sweet! He was helpful, efficient, and helped everyone get in, take some great shots, and get back to the dance floor. I would recommend Sugarbomb to anyone that needs entertainment for their events.

fun!! I feel like Jalen really got to know us with the questionnaire and phone call together. 100% recommend.

entral City Orchestra who were AMAZING. The band's coordinator is responsive, organized and so fun and easy to work with leading up to the wedding. The band was so incredible day-of and our dance floor was packed all night long. Highly HIGHLY recommend!

nk you so much for everything and please let Martin know that we are extremely grateful to him.

band they’d ever heard. That being said we hope to see them at a loved one’s wedding soon since we cannot say enough good things about them and recommend them to everyone we know getting married. Also, Jon was super easy to work with and made us feel confident that on the big day they’d be able to take care of everything when it comes to the music at the wedding. It’s also important to say that our wedding was in New City,NY and even with travel the affordability was second to none compared to the other bands in the area

etings, he reviewed the checklist, order of events, and song requests, ensuring everything was exactly how we wanted it. He arrived early on the big day to ensure everything was set up perfectly, which put us at ease. Jon honored our must-play list and captured the vibe we wanted. He effortlessly read the room and kept the dance floor packed all night. His balance of DJ and MC duties was natural and never overdone. We also added draping, uplighting, a dance floor, and the GLAM booth, which transformed the reception space. We were so impressed that my brother booked Jon and Sugarbomb for his wedding next year. I highly recommend it!

ook forward to working with them on many future projects.

he transitions, announcements, and everything in between, not a single thing was missing. Thank you and your wonderful team for a fantastic job!

am still receiving compliments about him as a DJ! He really provided everything we could’ve ever wanted or imagined.

ve to out music choices and did an amazing job throughout the night. The music never stopped and everytone had so much fun on the dance floor! The photobooth was so much fun! We got to recieve all the pictures a few days later which was so special. Would highly recommend Sugarbomb for your next event!

was a dream to work with. Jon and his whole team’s experience showed; they managed the AV very well and were very thoughtful about what would and would not work in our space regarding both the AV and lighting. Jon guided us on the microphone setup during the ceremony in the right direction. Their system for managing music preferences is well-considered and thorough (we were quite particular and they were very gracious in working with us on our full playlist that we curated in addition to giving them general preferences). The coordination with our wedding planner and the venu was excellent and didn’t require much engagement from us. In short, they were amazing to work with and we highly recommend! We choose DJ Illmatic for his alignment to our music taste and his expert mixing and transitions from the samples and online music we had heard. He pleasantly surprised us with his insights on how to manage a crowd and his adaptability to our preferences. We spoke on 2 occasions before the wedding and he came to every conversation with thoughtful ideas about how to make the musical experience even better.  He delivered above and beyond on the day of our wedding - the dancefloor was packed throughout the night, every song was beautifully transitioned through, and he lined up bangers after bangers. We still hear about how rare our dancefloor was - there was never a moment where you wanted to leave it. He did also did a great job with a light MC role and navigating background music in a museum with challenging acoustics. 

s throughout the night. He also was excellent at reading the room throughout the night and incorporating songs that everyone loved. Could not have been happier with choosing Jon and Sugarbomb for our night that we wont' forget. Thanks, Jon!

entire crew were so easy to work with, responsive, and truly blew us away with their talent and energy. The band had no problem with learning a new song for our first dance and were exactly what we were looking for in terms of interacting with the crowd and keeping the energy going all night. We also had the guitarist play during our ceremony and a trio for our cocktail hour. Most importantly, the microphone volume and sound quality during the ceremony and speeches was perfect. Would 100% recommend!

nce floor was PACKED the entire night. Brian the guitarist did an excellent job as the musician during the ceremony/precession and the piano and saxophone players were the perfect addition during cocktail hour. Jon Ardito was terrific to work with throughout the whole process. Very laid back, easygoing, and communicative, and he made sure we had everything we needed. We couldn’t recommend them more! THANK YOU!

best decision we made during the whole wedding planning process. I cannot recommend Sugarbomb and especially Jon enough! All of our guests had so much fun. He did such a great job, and gave us so much help and guidance throughout the planning process. A few days before the wedding we decided to add the photo table challenge that we'd seen on TikTok and our photographer recommended (couple sits in the middle of the dance floor and the dj announces tables to come up and take pics with us but we have to get through them in one song) even though it was last minute he was totally adaptable and worked with us. It was so much fun. Jon was an excellent DJ but also an excellent MC for the night. He helped make sure everything ran smoothly and did a great job introducing the speeches. He was funny without making himself the center of the attention. I especially loved how that he announced the last 3 songs, and chose the perfect 2 to put right before our last one. I know they were on my must play list but I had no idea he'd use them like that and it just made the whole night even more perfect. 6 months later I still have people telling me that they think of me everytime they hear one of those 3 songs and virtually everyone I speak to tells me still how it was the most fun they ever had at a wedding. I would get married once a year if I could afford it and I knew sugarbomb and Jon esp would be available to DJ for me everytime.

d fit our needs (photo booths, lighting, multiple DJ's to choose from, strings) 2) Once we selected Sugarbomb they were available for multiple calls as we crafted our day of itinerary. 3) The strings had never heard of our obscure song selection so they learned it for us for a reasonable fee and it sounded amazing 4) We selected DJ Martin from their extensive list of DJ's and he was a true professional. He incorporated all the song requests we had, maybe more importantly he made sure to not play anything we didn't want to hear. He ran the day-of event smoothly. And the best part was the dance party. Multiple guests said it was the best wedding DJ they've heard. He picked all the right songs to keep our guests on the dance floor all night long, highly recommend! 5) The photobooth was a hit! The pictures came out great, we received an online album of all our guests photos and the man who ran the booth was extremely personable and let people have a lot of fun while taking pictures. I highly recommend that you use Sugarbomb entertainment, you'll be in great hands through the entire process

Also, having a saxophonist there was such a fun addition to our big day. We highly recommend!

e day got closer, worked with us to make sure he had all the details exactly right. Admittedly, I am not the most decisive person, and Jon was able to offer suggestions to help make the day even better. Jon and his staff were professional throughout the entire event, even with the many song requests he was receiving (thank you Jon!!!!😅) He had a great energy and the dance floor was packed the entire night. All of our guests had nothing but awesome things to say about the music and photo booth, and for that, we can't thank you enough!!!

process very smooth. 10/10 would recommend!

night. Guests keep raving about the music. We are an easy going couple, which also means we didn’t have a strict schedule, Mitch was so awesome with letting us go with the flow. He was the BEST! 10/10

ry easy to work with and helped us stay on top of our timeline. Martin was the perfect DJ for us with a combination of helping us see our blind spots in our planning and also accommodating our requests (no matter how many we changed at the last minute). He was also very calm and collected at all times, which was thankfully contagious. He, as promised, made sure that people were dancing on the floor the entire time. We highly recommend asking him to exercise his DJ creativity. He is a true professional. The photobooth was an excellent touch and was well used. We really liked the background of our venue so we opted out of using Sugarbomb's backgrounds (also union labor reasons). We used the option that provides real time prints which we would do again. They are lower resolution than what they will send to you electronically, but it is nice to have something immediately to put on your fridge.

ghly professional to work with. From the beginning, Jon was quick to respond to our inquiry and ask us detailed questions to ensure we were paired with the most appropriate band in the entertainment group to fit the vision for our wedding. As the date approached, he was proactive and helped us organize music selections for our ceremony, cocktail hour, entrances, first and last dances, and gauge what we (and our guests) would enjoy hearing throughout the night on the dance floor. Wedding planning is stressful enough and the thought of selecting music/songs can seem overwhelming when you have an eclectic taste. Jon broke down the night into different phases and provided guidance along the way. This allowed my husband and I to thoughtfully plan what certain points of the night would look and sound like, while still letting the band have fun, be creative, and play tunes they love most too. (As musicians ourselves, the later was extremely important to us.) Soul City Shakedown was tight! The emcees got our party started right and kept our guests engaged the whole time. We were out on the dance floor moving (and singing along) to jazz standards, blues, funk, disco, Motown, with some classics in between all night long. Many of our friends and family are musicians and commented how great the band sounded in the venue space (Globe Dye Works) as well. Working with Jon and Soul City Shakedown was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. The group captured our vision and ran with it, making it a memorable experience for all. We highly recommend working with Sugarbomb!

d the room and keep everyone dancing all night. With so many things to stress about at a wedding, it was so nice that Jon and sugarbomb entertainment made it very streamlined and stress-free.

onscientious, eager to hear about our thoughts, and ready to suggest alternative or additional options. We were interested in having live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and he talked through what those options could look like, addressed any concerns we had, and connected us with a wonderful pianist (who did a beautiful job!). In the months leading up to our wedding, Jon was always responsive, and was proactive about reaching out to set up times to discuss our music choices, event schedule, and other details. We never had any concerns about him or his team! The wedding itself was perfect--he did a great job throughout the event, carefully attended to our musical preferences, and kept the dance floor packed with his selections! We can't recommend him highly enough.

Jazz trio, and reception DJ. The Jazz trio was a huge hit! We loved the ambiance they added to our outdoor cocktail hour! Jon killed it as our reception DJ. I gave him very little direction on music, but every song he played was a banger. He kept the party going and was a great emcee for the whole evening. We also had a dance instructor teach a lesson, and Jon was great at coordinating and making sure the instructor was set up well. Thank you for everything, Jon!

o walk us through the evening beforehand, and understand our vibe/vision for the night. Execution was flawless! We had also booked our lighting through Sugarbomb, we went with uplighting during dinner and some motion changing uplighting for post-dinner dancing. Everyone had such an amazing time, can't recommend Sugarbomb enough. Thank you, Jon!
