My name is Adam, owner & operator of CNY Sound. I am proud to serve those in Central New York with all of their DJ, MC and event planning needs. A wedding DJ by trade, I also bring my services to any event from parties, corporate events and more.

Adam was the best DJ I could've ever asked for. He was so thorough throughout the entire planning process and made sure my husband and I had the exact day we envisioned with our music. We also have a more eclectic music taste and he brilliantly blended so many genres and had people on the dance floor all night long. Can't thank him enough!

He’s so easy to work with and you can tell he really knows what he’s talking about. He’s truly there to do what he can to make your day go smoothly and beautifully, and he is successful in that.

We had a wonderful experience working with Bobby from The DJ Company. His communication throughout the planning process was always prompt, kind, and stress-free. On our big day, Bobby brought exceptional professionalism and talent that elevated the entire event. He seamlessly handled both the acoustic guitar ceremony music and DJ reception duties, fulfilling all our requested songs and keeping guests engaged. Bobby made things personal by playing guitar live for our ceremony, learning special songs just for us. During the reception he read the room perfectly, playing hits our diverse group of friends and family could all enjoy.

With 20 years of experience as a musician and entertainer, I understand the importance of flow, timing and reading a crowd. For over a decade I have been hosting and dj-ing weddings and private events. People ask me constantly what separates us from other dj services. It's simple, there is no ego or persona that is being represented. No hokey props, radio announcing or other tacky tactics. Honing in on what someone wants, is the key to a successful party. The Client is the window to the event. It just takes someone with experience to know what questions to ask in order to provide an unforgettable event that reflects your taste.

We could not have asked for a more organized, friendly, or FUN DJ in DJ Rocko!! As a dance teacher and lifelong dancer myself, the dancing part of the wedding was always very important to me. DJ Rocko was so easy to work with the I’m not exaggerating when I say the dance floor was full all night! We could not have asked for a better DJ or MC. Thank you Rocko!!!

Since 1982...Experience that works for you! It’s been said that a DJ can make or break the wedding reception, don’t just rely on a website or what you read on the Internet to make a decision about your wedding reception entertainment. Good music entertainment is all about getting the party going, keeping the party going, and coordinating the formalities so it's stress-free and fun. Put my experience to work for you and I will make your wedding reception what you've always dreamed of.

Perfect Sounds was the perfect DJ Service for our wedding. They showed how professional they are when I forgot to tell them that "Otto the Orange" was coming to our wedding reception. I didn't even know Otto was there until he made a grand entrance with the help of Perfect Sounds. They handled everything without even mentioning this omission to me on my special day. They just took care of it. We highly recommend Perfect Sounds DJ Music & Entertainment. They are without question the best.

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

We had a great experience hiring Seductionz Soundz for our PA wedding. Kevin was very responsive and professional right away to our requests which is why we chose him. The preparation was easy and straightforward via email and phone. The day of the event, everything went perfectly. We were particularly happy with some of Kevin's suggestions such as the table dash photos (which are so great to have) and all the guests rushing up to us on the dance floor, which was really fun and made for great photos.

Nationwide Wedding DJs made finding a DJ for our wedding so much easier than we expected. Michael was quick to respond and got us connected with DJ Danny Crush, who turned out to be perfect for our event. Once we were linked with Danny, we didn't need a middleman anymore and could communicate directly, which streamlined everything. The setup was smooth and Danny kept the energy high all night long. Using an agency like Nationwide to find a local DJ in our area saved us hours of searching on our own.

We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny!

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event. Getting to know you with the desire to personalize your entertainment, not simply customize, is a large part of where creativity comes from, and not just mine, but yours as well! I love to offer many suggestions and ideas for your event but also find it just as important to hear your "unique" and "awesome" ideas.

From start to finish, working with Upbeat Occasions was a breeze. DJ Chris was responsive to our requests and took time to really understand what we wanted, while also reading the room and keeping the energy right all night long. His transitions were smooth and the song order kept people engaged—the dance floor didn't empty once, and I was out there dancing to nearly every track. What impressed us most was how laid back he was while staying totally in tune with what the crowd needed, and our guests wouldn't stop raving about the music selection. Chris made our reception feel effortless and fun, and honestly, it's hard to imagine our day going any better. We'd absolutely recommend Upbeat Occasions to anyone looking for a DJ who actually cares about making your wedding special.

Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning.

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

Rated as one of the best DJs in Upstate NY, Mike Melice is the premier choice for couples looking for a modern DJ experience in Syracuse, Ithaca, Geneva, and the Fingerlakes region. With a deep passion for music and a talent for reading the room and mixing in a high energy and open format, Mike ensures that every wedding celebration is memorable and tailored to the couple's unique taste.

If you’re looking for the best wedding DJ in NY, stop your search now: DJ Mike Melice is everything you could want and more. We got married on June 21st, 2025 at The State Room in Albany and honestly threw the best party. From the very beginning, Mike was incredibly easy to work with. He answered every question we had during the planning process, was always available for a call, and his website made it simple to choose songs and customize our experience. We asked for a classy vibe during cocktail hour and dinner, and a complete switch to nightclub energy for the reception. He absolutely delivered! The dance floor was packed the entire night, and our guests could not stop raving about him. Several even told us he was the best wedding DJ they’ve ever seen. Mike handled every detail with care. He nailed our custom entrance songs, even the hard-to-find ones, and made perfect announcements that matched our energy. He took the time before the reception to gather our bridal party and family so everything flowed exactly as we wanted. The photo booth and club cannon were a huge hit, and every song was a banger. Music was one of our top priorities when planning our wedding, and choosing Mike was the best decision we made. He truly made our night unforgettable and we will forever recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!
