Incredible

5 stars simply is not enough. Sugar exceeded every expectation and was truly phenomenal. Even when they took short breaks, our guests were literally waiting on the dance floor for them to play again! Our wedding was the most fun night of my life, thanks to Sugar. Every single guest raved about how incredible they were and I couldn’t agree more. People are still talking about how much they loved the band 2 months later. The playlist was perfect and they were incredibly fun and classy for our black tie affair. The dance floor was packed from the first song to the last. Everyone demanded an encore! Best night ever. Thank you, Sugar!

Everyone Loved Sugar!

Sugar has a great reputation in New England but they exceeded every expectation at my daughter's wedding reception - everyone was raving about them! They had the perfect playlist and performance for this black tie affair, reading the room perfectly and delivering a fun, on-point performance. We added a couple extra pieces (horns) that added a classy touch. Communication leading up to the event was clear and efficient. I give Sugar my highest recommendation!

Awesome band - highly recommend for a fun wedding!

Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had with Sugar! The band is very talented, brought a lot of energy to the evening, handled emcee duties to keep the night moving and fun and were flexible with timing around speeches/meals. They played a couple of requests but otherwise took charge in playing all of the songs that they know would work great for meals and then dancing and they kept the dance floor full all night! Marcy was great to work with too! Would definitely recommend them for a wedding - or any event!

Amazing!

We can't say enough good things about Sugar! From start to finish, they made our wedding unforgettable. Their selection of songs was fantastic, keeping the energy alive and everyone on the dance floor all night long. Marcy was an absolute joy to work with—so responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, ensuring everything went smoothly. Sugar seamlessly handled music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, each with the perfect vibe.

One of the most special moments of the night was our last dance together after all our guests had left. The band made it incredibly memorable, creating a magical and intimate atmosphere that we will cherish forever.

If you're looking for a band that will make your wedding extraordinary, look no further than Sugar!

Highly recommend!

We had sugar at our wedding a couple of weeks ago and we could not have been happier! They were so easy to work with, and even learned two songs that were important to us. Even the hot and humid weather didn’t keep anyone off the dance floor, it was packed the entire night. They had such great energy and were so fun!

EPIC!!!! Thank you!

"THIS BAND IS INCREDIBLE" was the statement of the night, Sugar's performance blew our guests away. Marcy was a pleasure to collaborate with leading up to wedding day, even allowing us 2 custom songs that meant so much to us for our first dances, and their performance day of was spectacular. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was on the dance floor until the last song.

Fantastic wedding band

We are so incredibly happy with our decision to hire Sugar for our wedding. They were one of the first vendors that we booked right after we had the venue and date set because having good music was a big priority to us. They sounded incredible and had really wonderful energy. Marcy was a great point person and was very responsive with communication leading up to the wedding. They were professional, organized, and did a really phenomenal job.

Amazing experience!

Sugar performed at my daughter’s wedding in December 2021. The wedding had been postponed due to Covid so it was a long time coming. The dance floor was full the entire night. It felt like a concert. All my guests commented about how great the music was. If you want a night to remember, make sure to have Sugar as your band. Marcy and her members were very professional and read the room perfectly.

Best part of our whole wedding

When I first got engaged, we reached out to SUGAR to ask for their available dates for the following summer. Essentially, we would choose a date around their availability. We had been to 2 weddings that they did, and love following them perform locally at events and bars, and we are SO glad we had them be a part of our wedding day. Months later and our friends and family are still raving about the band. They kept everyone dancing all night.

During the planning process, I was extremely pleased with their communication. They came out to the space ahead of time to check with the electrical capability, and were wonderfully responsive, encouraging, and professional in every interaction.

We hope our friends will copy us for their own weddings so we can have the pleasure of experiencing them perform again soon!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
