Nothing less than Fantastic ;)

I had known the owner prior from his previous DJ employment and I told my fiancé he was my favorite for a reason and Jason would do an excellent job. Needless to say, I was not wrong, and he made our wedding day absolutely unforgetable. Our ceremony was a little unorthodox, and he adapted as the officiant without hesitation. He kept our guests on their feet the entire evening. The only times the floor was open was when we all sat to catch out breath! He was incredibly flexible while also keeping us on track and able to focus on having fun. Then he also surprised us with additional services we had not expected. His pricing was generous and honestly he's a steal for the work he does. The man does not quit! Thanks again, Jason - Mathew J

Absolutely Love!

Jason was our DJ, and he totally kept everyone on the dance floor all night! From the very beginning, he was so easy to work with and made the entire planning process a breeze. The music, transitions, and the vibe was great! Definitely check him out if you’re looking for a DJ

Best decision on a DJ

This was definitely the right the decision for a wedding.Jason did our ceremony and reception and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. From our first meeting until after the wedding. He was always there with fast response times and last minute changes. He made the night run so smooth and kept the dance floor full.

Don’t walk, RUN to hire this guy!

Jason was amazing at our wedding! He was personal, professional, punctual, and brought all the good vibes and cheer. Everyone complimented us on hiring him and couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had. I would 💯 hire Jason again!

The Perfect Soundtrack to Our Fairytale Celebration

Even though we only needed a DJ for our reception — since our ceremony took place earlier
that day at Boldt Castle — Jason - Salt City Sound Machine, still made those four hours
completely unforgettable. From the first song to the last, he set the perfect atmosphere and kept
the dance floor full all night long.
He read the crowd beautifully, blending our special moments with flawless timing so the
evening felt magical from start to finish. Everything flowed seamlessly, and not once did it feel
rushed.
To make the night even more special, he surprised us with a keepsake gift that we will treasure
forever.
Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had and how incredible the music
was! We’re so grateful for Jason – Salt City Sound Machine’s talent, professionalism, and
warmth in helping us create a reception we’ll treasure forever.

A killer DJ!

Jason was phenomenal! He was both our officiant and DJ for our Friday the 13th wedding. He was so personable that all of our guests thought that we knew him for years, rather than just chatting with him for a few meetings! He kept the dance floor going all night long and played all of our requests and more! Our guests raved about him and the dance floor for weeks after the wedding! Would highly recommend Salt City Sound Machine for all your weddings and any event that needs a high energy dance floor and DJ!

Captain DJ

Jason from Salt City Sound Machine made my and my (now) husband's wedding day/night so perfect. He was very professional, considerate, and very conscientious. I especially appreciate that he took time to meet with me and my husband a few times before our wedding in order to construct a timeline of the evening that alotted an appropriate amount of time for all major wedding rituals. Jason was also up for the challenge of djing for his first time on a dinner boat reception cruise and helping us to negotiate challenges of having three floors that wedding guests might be hanging out on. We endearingly referred to him as Captain DJ. Despite this 'new' format, Jason did such a good job of keeping us on time throughout the night, fielding guest questions/protecting my husband and I on wedding night from guest questions, and making sure that the dance floor was lit! We could not have done our wedding without Jason and are very grateful for his help!

Great party with a wedding on the side

He was our officiant as well our DJ. He didn’t let it slide when our rings were presented during the ceremony in a mini coffin. He knows how to work the crowd, keep them engaged and keep things moving. Professional and accommodating. Our planner contacted him about a week before the our wedding to see if he could play an additional hour. He graciously agreed. Very reasonable pricing. No worries if the internet is iffy, crashes or is non existence. He down loads music instead of streaming. He’s amazing. You need to hire him.

Two words. Hire. Jason.

Three things people remember at weddings. Food. Drinks. MUSIC and Jason absolutely KILLED it.

As a self proclaimed type A bride, I was very particular about the music choices and specific timing of entrances. Jason was very accommodating and answered my questions the same way every time no matter how many times I asked them and no matter how many different ways they were asked. He was professional, down to earth, and so easy to work with.

My dad wanted to add a special message that played before we walked down the aisle, and Jason put the song underneath his recording and made it just that much more special. Not a dry eye in the house.

Look no further than Salt City Sound Machine for your wedding DJ!
