Testimonials

"My wife and I booked Lyle for our wedding this fall, and he far exceeded all expectations! From the start, months before the wedding, Lyle was organized and made the planning experience very easy for us. He was flexible, honest, and had important insight from his years of experience. He made our night perfect. Great song selections, MC abilities, and overall a great guy to have behind the booth. I would strongly reccomend him for any future events! Thank you, Lyle!"

"Look at the reviews and you'll see that Lyle at Sugar Sand Sound is the real deal. When the DJ we had originally scheduled for our wedding fell through due to health reasons, his first recommendation was to contact Lyle. I believe this was meant to be because I don't think there's a better DJ in Northern Michigan. He spent time getting to know me and my wife to better understand what kind of vibe we wanted for our reception. And when he said he would have everyone on the dancefloor, he wasn't kidding. We had such a fantastic time dancing the night away. Lyle knows how to read the room and how to cater to audiences of all ages. If you need a quality DJ who knows how to inspire a room full of people to get up on the dance floor, look no further than Sugar Sand Sound."

"We can’t say enough good things about Sugar Sand Sound and our DJ, Lyle! From our first conversation to the last song of the night, Lyle was professional, organized, and incredibly fun to work with. He took the time to understand our style and music preferences, and he absolutely nailed the vibe we were going for on our wedding day. The dance floor was packed all night long, and we got so many compliments from guests about the music and energy. Lyle made the entire experience seamless, from introductions to special dances to the perfect party playlist. If you’re looking for a DJ who truly cares, knows how to read the crowd, and brings the party—look no further than Sugar Sand Sound and Lyle. Highly recommend!"

"Lyle Powers is an amazing DJ!! He is laid back and very personable. We had our wedding a few weeks ago and everyone had a great time! Lyle played different types of genres for the different age groups. He got everyone on the dance floor! Highly recommend!!"

"Lyle Powers is the man! Lyle is the kind of guy that takes that extra step to make your wedding special and he showed that from day one by reaching out and calling us when we inquired about his services. He impressed us on the first phone call and every other time we worked with him. When Lyle promises to keep the dance floor going all night long he delivers. Once the first person stepped on the floor it was not empty until the lights turned off. Him and his son did a great job with the audio working both outside in the wind for the ceremony and inside for the reception. He was able to figure out the vibe of the party quickly and keep it going all night. We were impressed by his ability to match the music to the crowd and to easily add requests in when needed. I would recommend Sugar Sand Sound to anyone who is wanting a wedding with great audio and lots of dancing."

"Ben and Lyle were were amazing to work with! We put off booking a DJ for our wedding till the last minute and did not think we would be able to find anyone available. Lyle responded almost immediately and walked us through the whole process with incredible professionalism. Our DJ Ben took exactly what we had asked for and made our whole wedding perfect. Our guests loved the games and were on the dance floor till the end of the night. I had multiple guests tell me our wedding was the best they had ever attended and I personally attribute a large part of that to Ben and his ability to walk us and our guests through the timeline and keep everyone entertained. He really ended up being the glue that held our wedding together! Me and my wife can not thank these guys enough for making our night perfect! We wish we could give them more than 5 stars."

"Lyle and Jason did an amazing job! My wife and I got married last weekend at the Ridge of Verterra and hired them for ceremony and reception music. Everything went smoothly and according to timeline. He prepared a form for us to fill out to help with this. It made us prepare and think of things that weren't at the top of the list and could easily be missed. Everyone also said they had a blast! People were out on the dance floor until they kicked us out! Very professional and accommodating."

"We thought Lyle did an awesome job! He worked with us to make sure everything was laid out just as we wanted it to be. He was really good about helping us with COVID related things, such as releasing every table for dinner in an orderly fashion to avoid getting too many people blocked in one space at once. Along with our photographer, he took the reigns and kept everything on track. We're very glad we picked Lyle to be our DJ!"

"Lyle was AMAZING for our wedding. Not only were his services spot on, but his humanity and kindness was priceless. He hung in there with us as we were forced to reschedule due to COVID, and he never missed a beat. Leading up to the big day Lyle communicated with us regularly and efficiently. He listened to our preferences while also relying heavily on his experience and expertise in the wedding business (which is impressive!). During our wedding, it was obvious that Lyle has plenty of experience, and is in the business for all of the right reasons. Not only did he provide a perfect blend of music from start to finish, but he also provided the gentle nudge and accountability to the bride/family/bridal party that was needed to remain on schedule. Our day just would not have been so smooth without his services. He even stepped in unplanned and last minute to give a beautiful blessing before dinner. Because of Lyle, our wedding day was magical, a party, and even ended with surprise glow sticks! Thank you, Lyle - and Sugar Sand Sound"

"Lyle and Leah did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding! We were married at Suttons Bay Ciders, and he was so accommodating throughout the entire celebration!! The guests were able to hear everything clearly throughout the ceremony, because of his portable microphone and speaker system. The guests were so grateful!! Lyle also read the crowd very well and kept the celebration going! Our guests still talk about how much fun they had!! Thank you so much Lyle for helping make our day so special!! :)"

"Lyle did a nice job with our ceremony but didn’t play all the music I had chosen for the reception, there were several songs I didn’t even recognize and many that I really wanted that didn’t get played. It was still fun but I am a little bummed about it."

"Lyle was professional from start to finish. He's extremely thorough and has ample experience and knowledge to adapt to any environment/crowd."

"Being a professional officiant I work with many DJ's and very few are sound technicians (it makes a difference), and Sugar Sand Sound are true technicians, and they do and incredible job. I highly recommend them, and I'm picky. A+"
