The experience with Mike Staff was great from beginning to end. From the first meeting till the post-wedding stuff.. they were super atencious and professional. The people in the office are very nice and helpful through the process of choosing your professionals for your wedding day, making payments, pre-wedding planning, post-wedding music selections... they were great on everything! We hired 2 wedding photgraphers and a videographer. They arrived at the location for pre-wedding pictures on time (actually they were early). They gave us very good direction during the photo/video session. In the house we were getting ready they even moved stuff around to make sure we would have great pictures. On the phone conversation with Ilze, our main photographer, I explained to her the big problem I have about having my eyes closed in most pictures. She listened and made sure to check that she had good shots with my eyes open. She was also very efficient through formal family and romantic pictures to make sure we could have the pictures done within our short time frame ( a bit over 1 hour). She was very friendly and the pictures turned out amazing!! Tracy, our second photographer, also did an amazing job! She took great shots of the guys before the cerimony. I also loved how well she captured the details of the decoration in the reception venue.. the centerpieces, the guest book, the cake, the gift table... all the details we spend so much time planning but we barely get to enjoy during the wedding and now we can remember them forever through her pictures. Patruck was our videographer, he was also very nice, from the phone conversation till the end of the wedding. We still didn't receive our wedding video, but i am 100% sure it will be amazing just like everything that Mike Staff have done. read more

DJ Ron is an absolutely amazing DJ, hype man, and extremely talented in his craft! He is extremely easy to work with, fun, and pays attention to every detail to make the night a success! Communication, vibes, and peace of mind comes with choosing him as your DJ and you will not be disappointed! DJ Ron took the time to go through each individual step, song, timing, and worked with our venue to be proactive and make sure everything was a success. If you want an unforgettable night and a dance floor that your guests won't stop raving about, book Ron as your DJ! read more

Mike Staff Productions - DJ Ron - DJs Near Me - Troy, Michigan

DJ Ron was absolutely outstanding for our wedding! He listened to our requests and specifically tailored the music through the night to what we wanted, while still keeping things energetic and fun for our crowd! He was incredibly professional and friendly as well, and made sure that we were able to talk with him if we needed anything. Guests were equally impressed after the event, and loved the music and MCing through the night! We are so happy with our choice, everything from start to finish was perfect and we can't thank DJ Ron and Mike Staff enough! read more

DJ Jeff did a fantastic job at both our ceremony and reception. He was communicative and accommodating to all our requests. Jeff paid great attention to detail to ensure everything went smoothly and kept people having fun on the dancefloor all night. DJ Jeff was our top choice through Mike Staff's options and he did not disappoint - I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat! read more

Omg!! Mike staff productions were AMAZING this weekend for my wedding! My day was absolutely perfect!! We chose DJ James for our DJ and let me say we couldn't have picked a better DJ. A few days before the wedding we went over everything via phone call. James was professional at all times, super friendly, and kept the party going. The music he chose was spot on from the dinner music to the music he played all night long. He took requests from guests and interacted so well with everyone all night. He checked up on us all throughout the night. He worked so well with our photographer. He did perfect introducing the bridal party and the new couple!! We loved everything about James and highly recommend him!! read more

James from Mike staff productions did an amazing job DJing our wedding ceremony and reception. I had seen him DJ at multiple other weddings and loved his talent. Communication was easy and open. James had a lot of knowledge regarding DJing and clearly had a lot of experience. All the requested songs were perfect, he knew how to keep the party alive, and used his best judgment for song requests. The DJ was one of the most important parts to us and James did his job 100% read more

We used Mike Staff for the DJ for our wedding (specifically DJ Evan). We cannot recommend them enough! Being able to find the perfect DJ for our needs was a breeze, and DJ Evan made sure we had everything we wanted. We talked on the phone a few days before the ceremony to go over all our song choices and he even sent a clip right after our call of the part of the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to to make sure it was right. One huge perk of Mike Staff Productions is they have somebody on standby, which reassured me as our wedding day was very snowy with some questionable roads. Thankfully, the dj we requested made it safely and he kept the party going all night. All our guests commented on how much fun they had, and it's all thanks to DJ Evan! If there was ever a lull on the dance floor (which wasn't often), DJ Evan would transition to another song and the dance floor would fill up again. We cannot recommend Mike Staff/DJ Evan enough for your wedding! read more

Absolutely Amazing from Start to Finish!! We cannot say enough fabulous things about this company! From start to finish they were extremely easy to communicate with. Their response time was always instant. They are very professional and cover everything that you may have questions about right up front and all along the way. Our videographer, Tracy Mailhot, did an absolutely fabulous job capturing all of the important moments of our wedding day wonderfully! Jason Chevatewa and the editing team were so wonderful assisting us along the way, as I am very picky and needed things "just so", they were able to accommodate all of my (sometimes ridiculous) requests for edits immediately and without question. Thank you Mike Staff! We 110% recommend Mike Staff Productions for your special day!! read more

The wedding photographer cancelled hours prior to our wedding. Not only was the backup hours late, but he didn't even get half of the photos we sent Mike Staff a LIST OF. We will only have once wedding, so thank you to Mike Staff for not doing their job. Will not be recommending. read more

Absolutely excellent experience working with Mike Staff Productions. This is a team that I would HIGHLY recommend. I felt extremely confident in the DJ and videographer and the timeliness and quality of the final product (both the video and DJ experience) were of the highest caliber. 11/10. You cannot go wrong working with this team! read more

We had our wedding at upland hills farm on 9/10/2022. Joe Luellen was our DJ and he did a phenomenal job! He kept the whole party dancing all night! We had quite a few requests and a lot of polish music! He didn't miss a beat!! Thanks again Joe for your help in a fantastic night!! read more

We didn't get what we paid for. We paid for professional photographer to do the photos but instead we get his in experienced assistant.

The Mike Staff crew was INCREDIBLE our entire night. Even before the wedding, Dennis, Lauren, Daniel, and Kevin all took time to coordinate phone calls so they could review each detail of our big day. Everyone worked hard to achieve the things we talked about, and our photos and videos turned out amazing. Kevin played all the songs that were important to us as well as fun dance songs. The dancing was my favorite part of our entire night! Josh did our uplighting and he made the space look even more beautiful. We highly recommend Mike Staff, specifically their team approach since they all coordinated with one another to ensure our big day went as smoothly as possible. read more

Highly recommend for videographer specifically! Did a great job and we are very happy.

These guys worked their butts off for us! I hired all of them as a package deal and I could not have been happier! Was absolutely blown away with the professionalism and love for the job. They did not feel like vendors, but more like guests and part of the family. I got so many compliments on how nice and excited they were! I personally feel like I got the "A" team! Big shout out to Dennis (photography), Randy & James (DJs), Daniel & intern Stuart (Videography)! You guys killed it and rocked our wedding thank you so much, we will truly cherish all our keepsakes because of you guys! read more

See all

Mark the photographer was absolutely amazing. He was so kind and organized and VERY easy to work with. He had a wonderful sense of humor and I enjoyed every minute of working with him. High recommend working with Mark, he was an absolute joy to have at our wedding. Phil the DJ was also incredible. He too was very kind and organized and very easy to work with. He listened to everything I had to say and we had a wonderful time! 10/10 would recommend! read more

We came here for a consultation and decided to use them. When we talked to them over the phone they tried to upsell which was expected. When we came in person, the guy we met was understanding and explained all the different options without trying to force us into anything we weren't comfortable with. They seem to have a very good system in place, with on-call backup photographer on weekends if the photographer you selected had some major family event or similar happening. I'm looking forward to see if they continue to surpass our expectations the day they will do the bulk of the work for us. read more

We hired Mike Staff Productions to videotape our wedding day last fall, and aside from the venue itself, the Mike Staff Productions videographers were by far the best investment we made that day! We selected the option of having two videographers, since my husband and I were going to be getting ready in two separate homes; this way, a videographer was able to cover each household, capturing sentimental moments of my family, closest friends, and me at my family's home, and my husband with his parents and extended family at his Airbnb. They also recorded footage of us taking photos at our venue (Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester, MI) before the ceremony, which was so great to have; those clips show all of our emotions, interactions with each other and our families, and excitement on that day in a way photos alone can't capture! Both videographers (Daniel & Jake) were extremely professional, kind, and easy-going, and at both our homes and the venue, they weaved their way seamlessly into our day and captured all of the big and small moments without us even really noticing they were there! During the ceremony, the videographers stationed themselves at different locations so they could film the wedding from various directions. Their final videotapes, both the short film and full film, were outstanding! Their coverage of the day was thorough and beautiful, and the background music they used for the Mini Movie video was perfect! We were especially impressed with the Director of Videography - Jason Chevatewa - he was very responsive with various questions and edit requests during the months following our wedding, and was very patient and accommodating as we provided editing responses while trying to navigate major life events following the wedding such as deployments, new jobs, and pregnancy. He consistently provided beautiful, updated videos for our review. Without any reservation, we absolutely and highly recommend Mike Staff Productions' videography team to anyone looking for a top-notch videographer for their event! In fact, we plan on hiring them again in a few years for the next wedding in our family! read more

Mike Staff Productions was our DJ for our wedding and they were AMAZING! I could not have asked for a better experience start-to-end. Throughout the planning process, they were super communicative and helped answer any questions we had. We had DJ Josh at our wedding and he was awesome. He completely understood the vibe we were hoping to have and blew us away with how perfect everything went. I'm so happy we found them and highly recommend! read more

our dj Jeff and videographer Stu were AMAZING! Couldnt have asked for better vendors! They both exceeded our expectations and even our guests made comments on how much they enjoyed them! read more

Absolutely the best experience. I highly suggest DJ Ron, Jenny as your photographer, and Dustin as your videographer.

DJ Brad was incredible. He melded our music suggestions with his own expertise to make the wedding reception excellent. No issues with the process leading up to the wedding, either. read more

Kerry was awesome. The most memorable (and most important to us) was that we didn't even know she was there. Other than for the "staged" pictures, she blended in and took fabulous pictures. Even our guests commented on how wonderful she was. Everything was captured perfectly read more

My fiancé and I were considering Mike Staff productions to DJ and potentially photograph our wedding. We made an appointment and visited with a sales consultant who was very knowledgeable and not pushy at all. She explained that they had several DJ's and several photographers on staff to choose from. We watched photo reels of wedding videography and live footage of DJs in action at real weddings. While they presented a nice looking package, my fiancé and I decided to go in a different direction. They seem very cookie cutter and I believe there needs to be more personalization to an event such as a wedding. I would potentially use them for a birthday or holiday party. There are a lot of companies these days that are specializing in so many things, we just want to go with a company that has a distinct specialty. What's next, The DJ-makeup artist- officiant-photographer-videographer-event planner- florist all in one?!? I gave the company three stars only because we received two emails and one text message after our initial appointment. At that point if the couple hasn't reached back out they have decided to go in a different direction. I may be wrong but I don't believe that multiple emails and phone calls are necessary. If a couple likes you, they like you. If they want to secure your services, they will. read more

We did not go with Mike Staff for our wedding because (1) the price of the photography is more than we were willing to pay and (2) the DJs available were not who we envisioned. However, both Eric and another guy (who, cursed!, his name escapes me!) who runs the phones/conducts the meetings were both wonderful, helpful, and energetic. To be honest, if they were available, we would have likely hired them for their DJ services! I think it is very person-specific here. One other bummer is they make themselves entirely unavailable until 1 week before your wedding to discuss what you would like with your DJ. read more

My husband and I hired them to DJ our wedding last year. The consultation was MUCH better than the actual execution by a long shot!! We told them off the bat what we wanted and they made it seem like it was no problem whatsoever. But, after we paid the deposit, they literally fell off the face of the earth. it was extremely difficult to get ahold of them, and after a few tries they sent me an email with the DJs number and said to call him a week before the wedding. That did not sit well with me and boy was I right!! I only talked to him once for like ten minutes and he was short with me and pretty much said to email him a list of songs and expectations and he would take it from there. Well, on the day of, he played the incorrect entrance song and only played like five of the songs I specified on my list. When we asked him to play more of them, he said he didn't have anymore. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!! such a joke!!!!!! Needless to say, one of my cousins had a CD and we gave that to the DJ to play all night. For the EXPENSIVE price of the DJ, I expected much better service. I will NEVER recommend them to anyone..EVER!! read more

We had a great experience with Mike Staff. We ended up doing the photographer/videographer/DJ package, and all the pros were awesome! We appreciated their back-up pro guarantee, because our selected photographer had a family emergency on the day, and they had another photographer lined up and ready to go! That was a huge relief, and the pictures and video all turned out beautifully (and fast!). We found them very communicative, responsive, and easy to work with. Highly recommend read more

Mike Staff Productions was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We can't say enough about them. We used them for both our DJ and Photographers. We had DJ Steve Miller. He is by far the best DJ I have seen at a wedding--I know, I know, I am biased because it was our wedding. I probably am, BUT, DJ Steve Miller played song after song that kept everyone on the dancefloor. Usually, a DJ will play a song that is my "break" song to get another drink, chat with people, use the photobooth, etc., but I never wanted to leave the dancefloor. I don't know how he did it, but man was he incredible. I can't begin to say how many compliments we got saying how good the DJ was. I truly wish every wedding could have DJ Steve!! read more

Let's PARTY!!! I'm buying! Wheeee. My daughter and the new SIL chose this place along with the assistance from my wife for their DJ and Videographer service. We couldn't have been happier with the results. The DJ. The feedback from all of the guests was outstanding in that they had never seen such a more professional DJ than was at my daughters wedding. My opinion is this. It was very seamless. I actually didn't even notice how well he was doing. I thought he was good because the wedding isn't about the DJ, it's about the bride and groom. I have been to other receptions where the DJ is overpowering likes its his show garnering a lot of attention. I liked how they sent you ahead of time lists to fill out on your music preferences. Even though they're the professionals, they need your feedback so they play the songs you want to hear and the songs you don't want to hear. The Videographer. Outstanding!!! He was everywhere. I actually ran into him in the bathroom, thank god he didn't have the camera there. He got all the right shots. They have delivered the five minute short video. https://vimeo.com/80926495 Can't wait to see the forty-five minute video. We also purchased all of the footage captured. that's going to be fun to watch. Prices are very reasonable. Another daughter getting married soon. This made the selection easy for us for her wedding. read more

I am writing this review on behalf of my sister and new brother in-law. They choose Mike Staff Productions to DJ their wedding and after the night was over there was no doubt in my mind or the guests mind for that matter that they made the right choice. I had the pleasure of attending the first meeting at the MSP headquarters where we picked out the DJ for their wedding. Eric and the staff were beyond accommodating and walked us though a very thorough process of picking out the DJ adding in details that were not in their profile videos as we went along. In fact it was one of those details that lead us to choose Derek as the DJ for the wedding (He uses old school turntables and live mixes some of his sets). We were not disappointed. He spent more than two hours on the phone with my sister and her husband the week before the wedding ironing out the details and was available via text message anytime they or a family member had a song they wanted to add to the request list. The day of the wedding he effortlessly accommodated last minute changes including wireless microphones for the officiant (it was a windy day) and looping more music for the seating of the guests as we waited for more to arrive because of traffic. Derek's personality put everyone at ease, the blend of dinner music he choose was absolutely perfect and the dance floor was constantly full from start to finish (4hrs) a first for a wedding I have attended. His ability to live mix popular songs into streams of dance sessions did not go unnoticed by the older and younger generations. There were a number of guests and close friends who said this was hands down the best DJ and dancing experience they have witnessed at a wedding and when the last song was played we did not want the musical adventure to end. Thank you Derek and Mike Staff Productions for making my sisters wedding day fun and painless you added that magical touch that can only come from the unique combination of music and personality! read more

Horrible disappointment. Honestly writing this because nearly a year after our wedding we get letters asking for my opinion of their services, then I look on Facebook at other wedding photos from other photographers and am always heartbroken. I don't have any photos of our wedding on the wall and I'm not sure how many will actually go up. We spent more because we wanted to have those professional photos forever. If that's what you're looking for, you may want to look elsewhere. To top it off the photographer was rude the whole day so every time I see those pictures that's what comes to my mind, not the rest of the amazing moments that was part of our day. My novice sister-in-law took a few pictures of the girls getting ready before the lead photographer got there and they look better than the ones we paid for. Our second photographer was great, so the solo groom and grooms men's pics look great! If we only knew how things would turn out we would have had her as the lead. I will say post the wedding the manager tried to accommodate and even re-take some photos, but it was not the same and unfortunately I honestly think it was a waste of everyone's time. I'd of rather had money back. Our videographer didn't get the clip of our officiant talking once the guests sat down; to be far she got the audio, but the whole section is of the backs of the groomsmen. She also was supposed to get footage of the groom prior to going to the venue, she just didn't show up to the hotel. I'll say our DJ was good. Really liked his mix for dinner, my uncle even mentioned how good he was. After dinner some guest suggested a lot of boy band songs and he ran with that for a bit too long. He was nice and never really left his spot. I would gladly use only this service again, but overall pretty turned off by any use of Mike Staff here forward. In summary, it was nice that the company set up someone to take the place of the initial photographer that we selected when she was injured, but I could have had a family member do a better job. You don't talk to your actual photographer/videographer/DJ until a couple weeks or maybe just the week before the wedding. It would be a far better practice to meet those people ahead of time, not just the salesperson at the office. There is only one shot to get it right, so go somewhere you will know how you and everyone that will be there on your big day vibe together. Long winded review, but it's a lot of money you invest so it's important to really know. read more

We had Kyle for our DJ service and Tracy for our videographer and both were amazing! Very professional and knew wedding day activities and cues like the back of their hands. You can tooottalllyyy trust Kyle as a DJ to keep the party moving and very good at reading the room to figure out what music/vibe to cater to. We were very happy with the music selection and didn't have to recommend or change anything! HIGHLY recommend Kyle for your DJ service! Tracy was also great with grabbing a lot of great shots in a short period of time. He was always moving around the room to find the perfect shot and we were very happy with the way out video turned out! He was very friendly. prompt, and thorough. Overall, Mike Staff Productions has a great collection of employees who KNOW their wedding stuff and can actually help you on your wedding day with things because they are so experienced. Would highly recommend using them! read more

We hired Mike Staff for photography, videography, and DJ. All 3 services were amazing and so attentive throughout the day. Our DJ Josh played great music and kept a packed dance floor the entire night! Photographer Justin and videographer Dustin were flexible, friendly, and a pleasure to work with! They went above and beyond to get everything captured that we requested while still having fun. Highly recommend them for weddings! read more

Dj NATE VALENTINE in my opinion is the best DJ in the world! WHY? Professionalism, composing, and flow. I know companies cannot please everyone every time but Nate is the real deal, he was even having fun! He played a big part in making my Daughter's wedding extra magical. Mike Staff Productions thanks you. read more

We had a great experience with Mike Staff! We went with them for our DJ (Kevin) and our live streamer (Daniel) and we were very happy with both people!! It was super easy to reach someone at the office via email or phone whenever we needed help. So many of our friends complimented the DJ - everyone had an awesome time on the dance floor and Kevin helped the whole day run smoothly. Daniel was also super kind and on top of things, and even when we were running a little late for the live stream schedule, he went out of his way to make sure we got everything we wanted recorded. They made our day so special and it's awesome that we can now relive so much of it with our downloaded video. Thank you Mike Staff for helping our day even better than we could have imagined! Would definitely recommend! read more

The Mike Staff team were so wonderful to work with. Mary and the photography/videography team were so amazing. Mary was the best fit for our personality and helped make our engagement and wedding photos the best. Josh was a great Dj and did his homework so we had geeky and movie themed music during cocktail and dinner hours. Their website was the most convenient for making payments and everyone was so quick to respond when we needed anything. The process to order photos and our wedding video was easy and they were still there for us months after our wedding. read more

Had our wedding yesterday. Mike staff did an amazing job. Dj Bob was great thank you guys so much.

My husband and I were very disappointed with Mike Staff, particularly Marty the DJ. His music playlist was not up to date and the transition in between songs was awkward and uncomfortable. It had our guests feeling like "ok, what's next?" However, when I gave him the recommended songs to play, that's when guests were staying on the dance floor. The music wasn't loud enough. The DJ was our biggest regret and I knew it would be as soon as I spoke to him the Monday before our wedding. He did not know what a traditional Lebanese dance was. Our belly dancers even apologized that the DJ did not transition our introduction song correctly. Marty even followed us out and I think he was expecting a tip... read more

We used Mike Staff for our wedding and 10/10 would recommend them! We had Jim as our DJ and Jestice as our videographer. They were both amazing and so laid back yet professional that they really made you comfortable! We had a bunch of plan changes due to COVID and they were more than willing to work with us which is as greatly appreciated! read more

This is difficult for me to write because I never write bad reviews but I want to warn other brides and families out there so they are not as hurt and disappointed as my sister was. I was the maid of honor in her wedding and she used Mike Staff Productions. The DJ did a great job but the photos were beyond disappointing. My sister was very organized and had set aside almost two hours for photos before the ceremony. We were not running late in fact we were ready early. Mike had such bad time management he wasted almost all of that time. We ended up with only one picture of the girls and half of us are seated. Just the one photo. In one pose. That's it. The men's photos were taken by the second photographer and they had less time for photos but they had so many shots both seated and standing, inside and outside while the women have one photo. For the bridal party together he only took one photo as well. Picture this - half of the bridal party sitting but with more people on the left side than the right side. The bride and groom are not even in the center and therefore not in the 'window'. The groom is literally standing behind someone. I brought up several times that we were uneven and the bride and groom were not centered and he told me not to worry about it, and was condescending. That is the one and only picture my sister has of the bridal party. We were a party of eight so we were not difficult to pose. When my sister finally got her photos there were many that were included that were blurry and underexposed and not in an artistic way. I did notice that there were a couple of times that Mike's hands were shaking and once he was visibly sweating (it was a winter wedding), maybe he was ill that day? Either way the quality of the photos he took were not acceptable. My sister to this day cannot even talk about her wedding without getting upset and crying over the photos. Please think twice when booking Mike Staff Productions!! I don't want to see anyone else go through what my sister did. read more
