Salt City Sound Machine

rowd all pumped up, got every foot on the dance floor and even punked our son during the “shots” song and he absolutely LOVED it! Everyone there was laughing, dancing, and celebrating all because of Jason’s awesome personality that he brings with him! Thank you again for truly everything and more we hope our wedding night would be! 🎉🎉🎉

a master at his craft. He knows when to get the party going, and when to calm things down. He knows what the timelines should look like and gives you helpful advice on this subject. Most of all, he makes it personal. On a wedding day, this is so important; and Jason makes you feel like you're the only couple that's ever been married. From a personal standpoint, I can't say enough about my friend. From a professional standpoint, he's worth every penny! Out of 10, he's an easy 100!

(200+ people outside) without holding a mic! He supplied cocktail hour music when needed (we also had live music during this time) and really got the crowd hyped and excited for our intros! He was on point for speech intros and first dances and keep our dance floor PACKED all night with music we both love and we are picky! He felt the crowd for good moments for cake cutting and bouquet toss checking in with us as well, so it flowed nicely. He let my (now husband) sing for the crowd after a guest request and generally all around was SO fun and flexible and wonderful to work with!! If you want a DJ/MC that brings the party, is fun, keeps your guests dancing all night, is not cheesy, genuinely nice and wants you to have a great time do not hesitate to book Jason! From our initial call, to meeting in person, to wedding day he was prompt, helpful and you can tell he is a pro and the best at what he does. Plus he sent us a sweet gift after which was so thoughtful and meaningful to us. Don't let this vendor book your date with someone else, reach out to Jason asap!

ways super quick & responsive with any questions or changes (even my week of changes!). He provided the sound for our ceremony, and was there early and made sure everything was perfect! We provided a small list of song requests for our reception, but every additional song he played we LOVED and the flow of the night was perfectly executed. Jason is GREAT at what he does and our wedding would not have been as incredible without him at the mic! Thanks again, Jason!

uld not have gone better. Even when it started to rain, Jason ducked under a table to save his equipment but to also keep the party going until we got him some cover. I have been to other weddings with Jason as the DJ, pre-COVID and those are just as awesome too. Jason is full of energy, and his focus is the bride and groom and making your vision and event fantastic! 5/5 STARS for Jason- you will not regret hiring Salt City Sound Machine for your special day!

t everyone needs planning a wedding this year. He provided mics and sound for our ceremony, including a mic for my brother playing guitar. Overall, would suggest SCSM to anyone getting married!

before the wedding as we live out of the area now, and he helped us prepare the timeline for the wedding evening and reviewed our music selections. He appreciated our musical taste and the vibe we wanted to create to both represent us as a couple as well as entertain our guests all evening. The dance floor was alive from the moment dinner ended ’til the lights went on 3+ hours later, playing a wide range of music for our wide range of guests. He very obviously adhered to our requests (even some pop punk for us!) as well as our do-not-plays, so we never had to worry. He made everyone laugh without trying to steal the show throughout the night, gave my nervous sister (MOH) a pep talk before her speech, and just generally made us feel comfortable and taken care of all evening. Not only did he rock it as our DJ, but he officiated for us as well for a very reasonable additional fee, which saved us the hassle of also finding an officiant. We wanted a short and sweet ceremony, and he delivered exactly that, while simultaneously nailing the ceremony music. Afterward, he took care of tracking down signatures and sending in the license. During and after, our wedding guests gave us so much positive feedback on Jason! He’s so professional, personable, and just all-around excellent at what he does. Cannot recommend him enough! Thank you, Jason!

There is no such thing as a lame wedding with Jason as your DJ. My husband and I received countless compliments about Jason both at the wedding and after- he's THAT good. It's extremely apparent Jason cares about his clients and does everything he can to make their day unforgettable, and he did just that for my husband and I. 1000 times, thank you Jason! Cannot recommend Salt City Sound Machine enough!

he plays. I danced the entire night along with many other guests at our wedding. When we were lined up for introductions I kept hearing the crowd cheering. Later I found out Jason was having the sides compete on who was the loudest to get them pumped up. It was great to hear them from outside!! I would use Jason over and over again. Thank you for making our day so special and fun!!!

t the whole planning process which we so appreciated. He was upfront and wasn't "gimmicky" like other DJs we had spoken to. We can't recommend him highly enough!!

he could do to help. He really listened to us and did what we wanted for the reception. Very reliable and affordable. A great choice.

ng. SCSM was one of the first vendors we booked based on all of his positive reviews. We liked that he had a contract, a list of popular song ideas for specific events such as cake cutting, last dance, etc. Jason was honest, professional and was punctual with keeping our whole day flowing from ceremony music to first dance and getting the party started after dinner was served. We described many specific song requests to please our family such as a sing-along song or just inside jokes for the Groomsmen entrance--and he not only made them happen, but timed them perfectly! We loved the little extra touches like a shout-out on his Facebook of a great shot he took of our ceremony and loved being able to share with our guests how happy we were to have Jason on our team as we tied the knot. He was the perfect DJ for our wedding day!

ix of music that kept the dance floor full the entire night. Jason also does an extremely good job of keeping the guests engaged and informed on what is going on. I recommend Jason to anyone and everyone who is looking for a Professional DJ to work for their wedding or any other event they may have. SCSM Rocks!!

have asked for a better DJ and we wouldn't hesitate to choose him again for any other events! One of the common comment from all our guests was how great Jason was!

r expectations!! My fiancé and I were in a unique situation given we were living apart and planning our wedding away from our venue in the Poconos. Not only was Jason willing to travel 2.5 hours for the wedding, he was also kind enough to hop on a video call several weeks out to discuss our song list and finalize any last-minute details. Beyond just music, Jason provided great entertainment throughout the night, including fun bridal party introductions, and turned his DJ table into a request board complete with our wedding hashtag. We have Jason to thank for one of the most standout memories of the entire day. He had a list of selected song moments we could plan for during the reception, including a “Generations Dance” which we had never heard of before. He explained that for this song, all married couples would join the dance floor and one by one peel off until only the couple who had been married the longest remained. This was such a hit with our families that Jason had to play 3+ songs to keep it going! We had almost a dozen couples married 40+ years and the last couple remaining was about to celebrate their 64th anniversary. Everyone applauded and was close to tears. It was such a beautiful moment and a celebration of marriage beyond our own that day. It was an incredible addition to our wedding, and one we have Jason’s creativity and wedding expertise to thank! Toward the end of the night, our family surprised us by extending our reception an extra hour. Without hesitation, Jason agreed to stay, and thank goodness he did because the party was still ramping up! By the time he announced the party would keep going, ties were coming off and the limbo line was forming. Jason kept the energy up and the dance floor full the entire night, all while playing our complete wish list of songs and surprising us with other great hits - including the Eagles chant requested by some Philly family members which the PA guests all loved! If you are an engaged couple getting married in Upstate NY or the surrounding area, I highly recommend choosing Salt City Sound Machine! Jason is talented, hard-working, a great guy and a pleasure to work with. After the wedding, Jason also sent us a copy of our wedding CD with all our selected song moments photo printed with a picture of us from our wedding day! Thank you Jason for helping to make our wedding day the best party of our lives!!!

nks, and even signed our marriage licence for us because our officiant forgot to. Jason got the party started right away and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. He put out a request board and everyone was very into making requests. He knew how to transition from slow songs to faster songs and knew how to read what songs the crowd wanted to hear. He traveled from Syracuse to Ithaca and even came early to set up. After the wedding, he sent us a CD filled with songs from the special moments of our wedding and personalized the case with pictures from our day. You cannot get a better DJ for your wedding or event!

even played a surprise song I briefly mentioned when I first met him, so you know he is listening/taking into account what you say which is important. All these qualities made for a perfect evening!

our small direction on song choices and not only ran with it but kept the party alive! He even threw in some musical theatre song snippets that my MOH referenced in her speech - which was a great touch! In addition to his mastery as a DJ Jason is such a kind person! He took the time to get a photo of my husband and I's first kiss during our ceremony, as well as took a video of our first dance. This was so above and beyond his duties as a DJ and these simple kindnesses were so appreciated, as we await our wedding photos and video. Thank you Jason for everything - and if any of you need a DJ in the Rochester/Syracuse area - Jason is your man!

ive and plays off the vibe of the room perfectly. He does his best to do everything you ask for and perfectly placed our wedding logo on the dance floor for everyone to see. We had a dance battle and Jason came out with a bottle nonchalantly and spun it to see who would have dance. Everyone loved this and we had the waitresses at our venue in on the fun. Jason is by far the best DJ Syracuse has to offer. Thanks for making our night unbelievable awesome!

te at our reception. He skillfully balanced varying themes, energy levels, and guest requests while fitting in our "must haves". Highly recommended for a worry-free, fun, and professional music service!

to everyone!!

entive and responded quickly to questions, and handled a couple of last minute changes/mistake with no issues. He also helped us a ton when it came to scheduling the timeline of evening which was a great relief!
