More About Us

Sound Sensations is an independent owned and operated DJ Service, serving Rochester, NY and all surrounding areas.  It was formed back in 1993 and continues to provide the same quality service to all our customers.

Hi, I'm John.  DJ and Owner of Sound Sensations.  I'm a proud native of Rochester, NY and have spent my life here as a hard working and loving husband of 30 plus years, and father to our two wonderful and amazing children.  I've also spent the last 28 of those years serving this great community as a Professional Firefighter with the Rochester Fire Department.

The company began as a small side business, and means of additional income for my new home and family.  With a life long love of music, and a rather substantial collection of albums, tapes, and CD's, I've always had an affinity for playing music at parties and other social gatherings, for friend's and family.

Years later, I was asked by a close friend to help provide a little music at her wedding, which she and her fiance were organizing themselves.  After setting up a borrowed amplifier and a pair of rented speakers, along with a few dozen of my own CD's, I unexpectedly took the first step into what turned into the rewarding business it is today.

Since that day, the goal has remained exactly the same.  Provide great music and entertainment for the enjoyment of others, and to help make the party as fun and memorable as it can be.

Being independently owned and operated means you always work directly with me, the owner of the company, and the DJ who will be at your event.  You won't get a slick sales pitch and phony discount offer, only to have your event farmed out to any number of part time or subcontracted DJs.  I run my business from my home office which means you can get a hold of me at just about anytime during the day or evening.  This also means that it's MY reputation on the line and I work hard to make sure everything is done right and my clients receive the best service possible.

My sound systems are custom designed to adapt to whatever your individual needs are, regardless of the venue, and I go to great lengths to make sure that all of my equipment is properly maintained and well cared for at all times and will work flawlessly at your event.  Sound quality and placement of equipment have a huge impact of any event, and I understand how to configure my systems to provide the best sound and listening experience possible.  No doubt, you know how truly awful it can be when you go to an event and the music is so loud, harsh, or distorted, that you can barely stand being in the same room with it, or the DJ's microphone is so poor that you can barely hear what's being said during the toasts or announcements.  Those are the hallmarks of an unprofessional DJ.

I take great pride in what I do and fully understand that there are NO Do-overs in this business.  I wouldn't settle for anything less at my own wedding or special event, so why would I expect my customers to.  Whether it's me or someone else, always be sure to hire a trusted professional for your important event or most special of days.

There Are No Do-overs in this business.  Hosting a wedding or other special event is and extremely important, not to mention, expensive undertaking these days.  So, the last thing you want is for the DJ to arrive at your event without the proper equipment or any understanding of how to provide professional entertainment and MC services in a formal setting.
