Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, working with Sugar Events was an absolute dream—especially for a destination wedding in Cancun. Their team is the definition of professional, organized, and incredibly detail-oriented, which made planning from afar feel seamless and completely stress-free. Communication was always clear and timely, and they truly took the time to understand our vision, cultural moments, and overall vibe for the entire wedding weekend. A huge shoutout to Sahil, Kanden, and Bhavjot—they were absolutely phenomenal. One of the most unforgettable moments was during Holi, where they did an incredible job engaging the crowd and bringing the energy to another level. Despite being a destination event, everything felt perfectly executed, and every guest felt included and excited. We were also beyond impressed by how seamlessly they transitioned from the reception dinner into dancing. The flow was smooth, intentional, and perfectly timed—before we even realized it, the dance floor was packed and the party was in full swing. Their ability to read the room and control the energy throughout the night truly set them apart. What meant the most to us was their calm, confident presence and attention to detail throughout every event. Knowing we had such a well-organized and experienced team handling everything in a destination setting allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our celebration. Sugar Events didn’t just play music—they elevated the entire experience and brought our Cancun wedding to life. If you’re planning a wedding or any special event and want a DJ team that is professional, culturally aware, incredibly organized, and genuinely invested in creating unforgettable moments, Sugar Events is hands down the best choice. We are beyond grateful for Sahil, Kanden, and Bhavjot and cannot recommend them enough!

J Helbig Cheese-Free DJ+MC 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,575
  • Serves Portage, OH

We’ve all witnessed this: A wedding DJ who thought they were the main event – the endless mic chatter, the forced games, the tacky props, and the "impromptu" dance lessons that kill the momentum of a perfectly good night. It’s tacky, it’s insulting to your guests and – quite frankly – I’m over it!   Which is why I built a brand that does the exact opposite with a different set of rules. A boutique, "Non-Cheesy, Non-Obnoxious" experience where the vibe is comfortable, inclusive, organic FUN and where the soundtrack doesn't suck. Because it reflects you! Just like your reception should.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jack was a true partner during our wedding planning and on our day. He worked with us on song selection (there were a couple of songs we drew a blank on), helped fine-tune the schedule of events and worked with our photographer and venue to iron out the details and make sure they were all on the same page. We kept the song selection up to him as much as we could, providing some "dos" and "don't" and he did the rest. We got several comments on the music after the fact from both friends and family, so he managed to please both crowds. I'd highly recommend Jack to anyone.

We hired DJ Sunset for Great Lakes Brewing Co's Halloween Bash in 2024, and it as by far the best decision we made. He not only went above and beyond by coming in costume and providing lighting, he tore the house down! Knows how to read the crowd, know how to keep the dance floor going and the people sweating. 10 out of 10 would recommend and plan to utilize his services again this year.

I have to start by saying that our friends and family enjoyed DJ Troy so much that they continually chanted his name throughout the reception. From the moment we first spoke with Troy, we knew we were in good hands. His communication was clear, comprehensive, and friendly, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, he went above and beyond to be incredibly flexible with our less-than-perfect backyard dance floor setup - what a champ. He even incorporated a special cultural tradition dance we requested without advance notice (oops, thanks Troy).
