    DeMauro Wedding 9/1/24

    Jason from Salt City Sound Machine was AMAZING! He was great to work with and we are so happy that we decided to go with him to DJ our wedding! Leading up to the day he would respond quickly to any email I sent him not matter how minuscule the question was. He was funny and personable! My guests loved him and he played all of their requests while still catering to our must play songs. We would 1,000% recommend Salt City Sound Machine to anyone!!!

    The best DJ!

    We planned our wedding out of state & Jason made it super easy to do so. He was accommodating with all of the different visions we had for our day & everything was executed perfectly! The dance floor was crowded all night long- couldn’t recommend more!

    Great, Affordable, Talented DJ!!!

    The Salt City Sound Machine was the perfect choice for a DJ for my wedding. Jason was AMAZING and truly made the night by keeping the energy alive, and helping to produce a great playlist. He sought my input for the songs I wanted to play and didn't want to play, and he respected that - he played all of the songs I requested, as well as a few that he artistically added, and he took requests from guests as well! He was communicative and responsive throughout the process, which helped alleviate a lot of stress during the wedding planning process. All of my guests really enjoyed him as our DJ , and we did as well. You can't go wrong with him!

    Best Day of Our Lives

    Jason was amazing from start to finish. He kept the party going all night and was so great about communicating with us the months and days leading up to the wedding. His prices can’t be beat. I would have ended up paying twice as much if I went with another DJ.

    Hire scsm!

    SCSM and owner Jason Paussa was great to work with. He was always quick to answer emails and he did a great job at our wedding this September. He stuck to our music playlist, and made sure the songs on our do not play list were not played. He did a great job getting our guests amped up and kept the party going all night. We highly recommend him!

    Jason did such a great job being the DJ for our wedding! He was very responsive and super easy to work with, and he did SO good getting the party started and keeping it going all night.

    Amazing DJ

    There isn’t a thing I would have done differently when it comes to picking Salt City for our DJ. Jason was great with everything from the moment he got there until our last song! Jason’s communication was great from the first day we reached out to helping us with music selections to day of keeping us on schedule. He interacted with our guests and kept the dance floor going all night long. I had numerous guests comment on how Jason was amazing and how we couldn’t have gotten a better DJ if we tried. Jason was great with letting us choose a large selection of music we wanted while still varying up the playlist. He also handled all of our MC’ing needs and took care to pronounce everything carefully and correctly. Overall, you can’t get a better DJ than Jason!

    Jason is the Best Man for the Job!

    If you need a DJ for weddings, birthdays, anything Jason is your guy! He recently did our wedding and went above and beyond, he blew away my expectations and made sure our day was perfect. If I could rate him higher than 5 stars I would!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Salt City Sound Machine was by far one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Jason is absolutely fantastic and a treat to work with. He kept our guests going all night and everything flowed beautifully. You can tell he loves what he does and it makes a difference. We cannot recommend him enough!

    Jason is amazing at what he does. He made our wedding day absolutely perfect. People were on the dance floor all night 🥳 He customizes everything for all your needs. Very detail oriented, organized, and an overall great guy. He played the best songs at the best times.

    Salt City Sound Machine

    We hired Jason to not only be our DJ but also our officiant for our outdoor ceremony. He did an amazing job, was extremely responsive to my emails and so easy to work with. My husband and I were so happy with our decision to hire SCSM that we will recommend Jason to anyone looking for a DJ.

    Amazing!!!

    Hiring a DJ is tough because let’s be honest, your DJ plays a huge part in the wedding. Jason delivered, went above and beyond our expectations. We had had a pretty large wedding and naturally it gets loud and hectic fast with that many people in one room. He still managed to keep everything on track and on time, he felt the crowd out and played exactly what we and our guests wanted to hear without them having to say it. He is humble, funny, caring and very organized. He also helped my dad and I organize a way so that we could sing a father daughter song which meant the world to both of us. We were extremely happy with our decision to hire Jason and would recommend him 100%. He did a beautiful job!!

    Everything we were looking for from start to finish

    Our wedding was the best ever, and a massive part of that goes to Jason from Salt City Sound Machine. I had been searching for a DJ for weeks and was so nervous to book someone I’d never met and had no personal reviews of. But he was highly rated and award-winning, extremely reasonable cost-wise, and overall ended up being an absolutely brilliant choice. One of my biggest concerns was that we had both the ceremony and the reception in the same space, and I didn’t want anyone to get bored. Well, Jason kept us all partying until the last second. He was easy to work with, professional, engaging, and knew how to read a room. He kept everything flowing seamlessly and went above and beyond every request. He also sent a personalized gift afterwards, which was so touching. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    Awesome wedding DJ

    We hired Jason for our wedding in August 2022. He was AMAZING to work with from start to finish. Jason is organized, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. He made the process easy by having an informative meeting where we went over the contract, discussed the wedding, and asked/answered questions. We then had another meeting closer to the wedding where we shared specific music choices and scheduling. On the day of the wedding, Jason was ready and prepared hours before the ceremony started. He made a wonderful impression on our families, bridal parties, guests, and the staff at our venue. Jason did exactly what we wanted and more. The dance floor was full all night and everyone had a wonderful time. After the wedding, Jason kindly sent us some wonderful keepsakes. We 100% recommend Jason for weddings and events.

    Exceptional attention to detail

    Jason was an amazing DJ for our wedding. Being that my family has Caribbean roots, Jason had a tall order to fill to mix reggae, soca and punta into his playlist. He did an exceptional job. He even went above and beyond and did his own research. Because of Jason's professionalism and care, both of our cultures were incorporated in our wedding and everyone had a blast. My family is still messaging me about how amazing the DJ was, and wondered how he knew what hits to play from our culture.

    Beyond the music playlist, Jason did a great job of making our day special. We met a few times to discuss aspects of the wedding. I honestly felt like his attention to detail made him serve partially as a wedding planner as well. Jason was always attentive and professional.

    Jason was helpful and organized which helped make our wedding day run smoothly and perfect. His presence and expertise really helped to make our wedding perfect. Thanks so much Jason!

    The best disk jockey you’ll ever have!

    I can’t say enough about how amazing Jason at Salt City Sound Machine is! He was the funniest and most soulfulness officiant and the most energetic personable disk jockey ever! He truly captured the ears of the entire wedding, got the entire crowd 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! 🎉🎉🎉

    Excellent, stress free

    We hired Salt City Sound Machine for our wedding in September 2020. Jason was excellent, provided us with advice and options however respected our final decision. Planning a wedding during a pandemic.. it was a breath of fresh air for Jason to allow us to make our own choices and support them. We appreciated him sitting down with us to go over the entire schedule and was very flexible with us changing our wedding venue. On the day of the wedding, Jason was calm, cool, and collected which was great because weddings can be very stressful! He never looked frazzled and facilitated the schedule, making changes when necessary. We would absolutely recommend Salt City Sound Machine for any event.

    Best DJ ever!

    I can’t say enough good things about Jason with salt city sound! He made our wedding feel personal and not just another wedding he had to do. To say he went above and beyond is and understatement. He even sent us a CD with all our ceremonial songs and first dances! He matched our music vibe perfectly and had us on the dance floor all night! If your looking for a DJ this is your guy!
