Mary Ann has a wonderful gift. Not only is she the best disc jockey around she is such a kind person. She was a breath of fresh air through the entire process. She worked with my husband and I learning our music vibe, song choices and respected our absolute do not plays. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner and was so organized! We received so many compliments after our wedding regarding Mary Ann, everyone simply loved her. Mary Ann went above and beyond. When my husband's favorite song came on she gave him a mic and let him karaoke. Your special event will be memorable and amazing if you go with Mary Ann, you won't regret it.
Mary Ann is the best of the best. She is so good that she was the DJ at my parents wedding in 1991 and then I had the pleasure of her being the DJ at my wedding as well. She is a true professional. I had no idea what to expect on how to pick music or what to do to even begin. She helped my husband and I mix our cultures in together, play fun music that everyone would dance to, and make sure that it was personal to our taste as well. Mary Ann is a BLAST to have at any party, she was on the dance floor, kept us on our schedule, and was absolutely amazing at keeping our wedding fun. We are truly blessed to know her and have her in our corner for the next party!
Mary Ann came very highly recommended to us by two of our friends who employed her services for their weddings. We had a very short engagement and were thrilled that we were able to book her given the brief three months that we gave her to set up for our big day.
She was such a pleasure to work with and we are so grateful for the advice she shared with us as well as the patience she had for us in our indecisiveness and seeming inability to meet deadlines. She was always happy to give feedback on and accommodate my goofier song ideas where I was able to fit them in.
She is a true professional and we were really at ease knowing that she had everything handled alongside our day-of coordinator with regard to keeping the event on schedule, announcing us at the right time, corralling guests and pulling them aside when they needed to be gathered for photos, etc. The evening went without any issues whatsoever - even with a rain shower that almost threw our schedule off - and all the minute-by-minute items on our day-of schedule were nailed to a tee. She had a huge hand in the fact that we were able to actually be present and enjoy our own wedding day as opposed to running around like maniacs checking things off of a to-do list or wondering where we were supposed to be at any given time.
She does a really great job with song selection too and played all the music I gave her as well as some of her own picks which was really helpful in the situations that I struggled to come up with ideas of my own. She is very thorough (but not tediously so) in the way she tries to get to know your music tastes and we never for a minute worried about what song was going to be playing next. She has a great talent for reading the room and playing the right tracks at the right time.
As I told her after our wedding was wrapped up, if I had to go back and plan everything over again I would have picked her again ten times out of ten. Do yourself a favor and book her if she is available for your event!
We are so happy that we booked Mary Ann! She was a dream to work with! We are a same sex couple, and she was very affirming of us. We did multiple phone calls with her prior to the wedding day, and she brought a lot of experience and insight to those- plus a lot of energy! We had the opportunity to personalize the music that played before our ceremony and during cocktail hour/during dinner, which meant a lot to us. Overall, Mary Ann brought a lot of fun and energy on our wedding day. She had me dancing all night! She was an absolute joy to work with.
I can't say enough about Mary Ann! She is incredible as a person and AMAZING at what she does. We had several phone calls with her leading up to our wedding, and she was very interested about getting our 'vibe' and what kind of music we wanted to play during dinner and the reception. She is very detail-oriented and made us feel extremely comfortable about the timing of our grand entrance, first dance, mother-son, father-daughter dances, etc. We sent her a spotify playlist of songs we liked for dinner and the reception, and she had us select the absolute 15 favorites that we wanted played. But then she was able to interweave most of our requested songs throughout the night. She was very communicative with us on the big day - getting thoughts on how we were liking the music, volume, etc. and was open to all suggestions. She does not use fog machines, crazy lights, effects, doesn't yell into the mic to get people to dance, etc. She lets her craft speak for itself. She is truly gifted and such a genuine person - and a big reason of why we had such a BLAST during our reception. We are dancey people and I think we only left the dance floor once that night :) Thanks Mary Ann!
I can't say enough good things about Mary Ann. My husband and I wanted to dance the entire night, and her music kept the dance floor packed. I was a little high maintenance about song requests, and Mary Ann went above and beyond to make sure the music was what I wanted.
Mary Ann was absolutely the best wedding DJ we could have hoped for! We were looking for someone who wouldn’t make the evening about them, instead keeping the focus on us and our guests and she delivered on that and more! She was very attentive to what we needed, and helped us through the day with cues to make sure we knew what to do. The music was exactly what we asked for, and even when we didn’t select individual songs, she lined up the tone of the wedding with exactly what we were looking for. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
My husband and I had the pleasure of not only having Mary Ann as our DJ, but we were able to go to a friend's wedding who also had Mary Ann! From the first phone call with her, we knew she was the DJ for us. She is fantastic to work with and kept people on the dance floor all night. She did a great job reading the room when it came to recommendations and when we needed a quick break. She also made sure that I was on the dance floor for the last three songs of the night when I was making a quick outfit change. We didn't have to worry about any of the music all night. It's like she was able to read my mind and knew exactly what kind of vibe my husband and I were looking for. Even prior to the wedding she was super responsive and helped answer all of our questions about first dance, ceremony music, etc. She has forms to fill out to make sure it is clear what kind of music you are looking for and make sure she doesn't play anything you don't love. At my friend's wedding she was equally as wonderful. It wasn't the same type of group, but Mary Ann did a great job catering to each wedding based on the vibe and the couple's requests. I will always recommend Mary Ann to be your DJ. Just message her now, you will not be disappointed!
Mary Ann is the best in the business! I could tell from our first conversation that she would be so much fun to work together, and she was! I so appreciated her flexibility and patience as we navigated postponing our wedding and swapping venues during COVID. Despite social distancing, she still kept our party going and everyone had an amazing time! Cannot thank you enough, Mary Ann! Highly recommend!
Mary Ann has been incredible working with us with COVID-19. It was devastating to have to move our date, but she is so kind and willing to working with her clients. I could not have asked for a better person to work with!
MA has been amazing to work with! We had to reschedule due to COVID-19 and she made it so simple and easy. We can't wait for February to celebrate with her!
With COVID-19, we have rescheduled three times now, and every single time Mary Ann has been absolutely amazing to work with & has accommodated us with such grace. We are counting down the days until we can actually celebrate with her!
Honestly, Mary Ann was one of the best parts of our wedding day! I could tell from the first time we spoke that we were on the same page, and she did not disappoint. She is quick to give suggestions and feedback on music as needed, but also completely able to cater to your style and preferences! She did not miss a beat for the ceremony and every moment leading up to the reception, where she definitely kept the dance floor alive. We were very impressed and could not recommend her enough!
Mary Ann was perfect for us! We were nervous about having to manage the reception and be the center of attention - she was so respectful of our nerves and handled everything perfectly. Her attention to detail is outstanding - everything we asked for, she delivered and she was especially great with honoring all of our flower girls' requests! Our dance floor was full all night, which is just what we wanted, and every event and transition was seamless. Can't recommend her enough!
MA was awesome! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional and detail oriented. We appreciated that she wanted to deliver our vision but also had great tips for creating a great night for our guests. She gave us a lot of great advice and created an experience that made all of our guests feel welcome. We highly recommend working with MA!
If you want your guests to RAVE about how much fun they had at your wedding then all you need to do is hire MA for your big day. She will make you feel like a guest at your own wedding, and keep your guests on the dance floor all night. She knows how to read a room, and provided so much comfort in the days leading up to the wedding, and the day of. She honestly kept the night on track because she is so insanely organized, and helped us create the vibe we wanted for our day. It sincerely wouldn’t have been the same without her. We are so grateful!
Mary Ann was incredible. This wasn't the first time my family has used her and it surely won't be the last. Mary Ann knows how to read the crowd and keep people on the dance floor and is SO much fun to be with. You can tell by the way she interacts with the crowd that she truly enjoys and takes pride in her work. We had a slight hiccup at our wedding with the weather where we almost had to evacuate the tent and move inside and Mary Ann was ready at the drop of a hat to grab a speaker and her laptop and bring the party inside. Luckily we didn't have to, but her adaptability was reassuring to us. I can't recommend Mary Ann enough for any event that you have.
Mary Ann is an amazing music ninja. On our wedding day, she slipped so sneakily into the background that at times we forgot she was there! But her presence was so essential and such a beautiful part of the day. We loved chatting with her in the lead-up to the events, and she was such a reassuring force the day of — keeping everything running smoothly and setting just the right tone for every moment. During the planning stages, we really appreciated how attentive Mary Ann was to all of our requests, and how quick she was to suggest great solutions for all of our worries. We are so grateful we had a chance to work with her and highly recommend her DJ magic.
I normally don't leave reviews unless i had a terrible experience. But Mary Ann has exceeded my expectations and I have to make that known. I knew I made the right choice by hiring Mary Ann after my initial phone meeting with her. The first thing she asked me was "What were the reasons why you didn't hire the DJs you've seen at other weddings?" And I told her because of the type of music played didn't appeal to the crowd, the transitions between songs were terrible, and the sound quality. Mary Ann knows how to read the crowd. My dance floor was never empty. I wish I had a part two for my wedding so I can hire her again!. Thanks Mary Ann!
PS. I also have to add that she is so stylish with her Gucci glasses!
Mary Ann rocks! She was highly recommended by our venue and every other vendor we met with only had great things to say about her. When we read through her online bio, we knew we had the same tastes in music and she was the right choice. When we finally got to meet in person closer to the wedding date to go over details, I couldn’t believe the instant connection she and my now husband made over music! They were on the same exact wavelength and she knew exactly what vibes we wanted. She was fantastic on the day of, and was a subtle yet effective MC. The dance floor was packed the whole night! I really liked that she came up to ask us if we wanted her to play a requested song, because she knew it wasn’t something we wanted played but it had been asked for a few times. She was able to control the situation with no issues. I would recommend her any day!
Working with Mary Ann was such a delight! From our first phone conversation, I knew MA was a DJ unlike any other. I instantly felt a connection and knew that we would be booking Mary Ann for our DJ! Everything was perfect. We got so many compliments from our guests about how the wedding flowed so smoothly and how amazing the music was. Mary Ann gave great suggestions for the timeline of the night and then made sure things flowed the way we wanted them to. She played music we suggested and hoped for during both the dinner set and during dancing. She made sure the guests danced all night long! I cannot say enough about Mary Ann! We loved her!
MA was fantastic at our wedding! Very professional and personable. We knew we were in great hands and MA did not disappoint! She knows how to read the crowd and keep them dancing all night. Thanks MA for a wonderful night that we will never forget!
Oh my goodness, where do I begin. Mary Ann is a true professional and an artist in her craft. She is incredibly talented and in my opinion, the best in the business! She works with you from day one to make sure that your reception goes exactly the way you want it. She was very flexible and was able to help us with our ceremony last minute as well. EVERYONE at our wedding raved about our DJ for weeks after the wedding. I really can't say enough good things about Mary Ann. She is extremely personable and kind and really cares about your vision. So so happy we worked with her!
Mary Ann was beyond amazing. From our first conversation I knew we were meant to be! She was so wonderful to work with leading up to the wedding, and the day of the wedding could not have been more perfect. I am the “music person” between my husband and me and MA nailed every single song. I’ve never danced more in my life and didn’t have to worry about a single thing because she was always right on it. She was so calm and professional and was most likely the best part of our entire wedding. Honestly, I’d be friends with her and that’s the best compliment I can give anyone.
Mary Ann was absolutely incredible! We have already recommended her to two other couples getting married next year. She is extremely vital to our day. From the meeting before the wedding to the last song she played of the night, it was an absolute joy to work with her. She was organized and kept the reception and cocktail hour moving so that there was no lull whatsoever. If you are even thinking about hiring Mary Ann, I say do it. She will make your special day perfect in every way.
We hired Mary Ann as DJ and MC for our March Wedding at Planterra. The entire experience of working with Mary Ann was wonderful. Our initial meeting was a lot of fun discussing our vision for our wedding and having Mary Ann’s input on the best way she could help make that open. Her suggestions meshed with our ideas seamlessly. We did not have much in the way of must play songs, more broad strokes of how we wanted the evening to progress. The different sets Mary Ann created for the different parts of the evening were superb. We had Mary Ann ranging from classical to big band and swing to broadway to top 20 and Dance. Everything flowed beautifully. Her communication through both the planning and the event itself was a perfect amount to keep us up to date without over doing it. Mary Ann also did a fantastic job MCing the evening. Keeping track of our bridal party was not the easiest job, and she did it well. Both Erika and I can confidently recommend Mary Ann for any event and can’t imagine our wedding without her!
MA is honestly the best. She is way more than a DJ – She is a true entertainer. Thanks to MA, we had a packed dance floor at our wedding reception all night until we were forced out of the ballroom at 1:00 AM. She knows exactly what to play in order to keep the party going, and my husband and I can’t thank her enough for that. She is super organized, awesome to work with, and all around, just so much fun. We feel so lucky that we got the chance to work with her.
Mary Ann was a vital creative and, truth be told: spiritual force within our amazing wedding at Planterra Conservatory in June 2018. We were thrilled to meet her early on, as we had been focused (once we knew we would not be using a live band) on finding the coolest, best DJ in the Detroit region. And that we did. She's of the region, and her style, taste and mode of working reflect this. It's an honor to have her in our world.
From day one, it was a perfect fit and wonderful experience: relationship, knowledge, service, execution. MA takes great care to establish the relationship immediately through thoughtful conversation, planning, and just the right level of collaboration. Then, she brings her authentic and DEEP musical knowledge and repertoire to bear. She plans meticulously, dials into your taste, is infinitely able to build based on your vision -- and ultimately, masterfully, creates the night of your dreams.
Of the many other plusses, too many to mention here really, she knew our venue inside and out and had solid working relationships with our team already and most all of the other partners we chose as part of what truly became a dream team. She was in many ways, the glue. And, she was certainly, my rock. Did a number of subtle cool things for me day-of for which I am grateful and which make me smile when I think back. She totally gets it.
We loved working with her, miss her already and cannot rave vehemently enough.
The all-in, ultimate pro, best taste and knowledge in the business, coolest cat in town -- who has your back and truly shares in your joy.
Mary Ann is a phenomenal, professional, and classy DJ. People were on the dance floor literally all night until the music stopped. We continue to have people tell us how incredible the music was and that they haven't danced like that at a wedding in years! Mary Ann was always easy to contact and quickly responded to any questions. She is also extremely detail oriented and will perfect all names and music requests. She has a knack for reading the room and playing just the right song combinations. Thank you so much Mary Ann!
Mary Ann was amazing from start to finish. She met with us before the wedding to go over the agenda and get the proper pronunciations of everyone in the wedding party. At the wedding she was organized and did an amazing job announcing all of the toasts, cake cutting, and first dance. After dinner she got people out on the dance floor immediately. Throughout the entire night, the dance floor was packed and people were having an amazing time! Everyone from grandparents to young cousins were out dancing and laughing. Mary Ann helped make our big day so much fun for everyone!
Firstly, Mary Ann Productions was recommended by our amazing wedding photographer, and I think it speaks volumes for someone to recommend another vendor for the same event they're booked to work. To me, that requires a lot of trust that they will help an event go smoothly and won't hinder your reputation or interaction with the hosts.
Secondly, Mary Ann was very supportive, responsive, and enthusiastic about all of the little details and music elements we wanted to include. She also gave a lot of constructive insight based on her past experiences.
Most importantly, she made sure to touch base with us throughout the night to ensure we were there for the special moments we requested and she was very flexible. We gave her a lot of creative control (because we trusted her, but also did not have the energy to micromanage), and she did not disappoint! So many guests told us how great the music was, and the dance floor was full all night. Also: her setup is very minimal (not flashy and overbearing like some DJs), so it didn't interfere with our aesthetic. She just provided a fantastic time and made our night the most perfect it could be!
Mary Ann is the best in the business for a reason. She reached out to us before our wedding to get an idea of our vision for music and dancing, and made professional recommendations for us as well. Throughout the reception, she continuously checked in with us, as well as our parents, to ask about requests and how we were feeling. She did all of this while keeping the dance floor packed all night long! We still have people messaging us weeks after our wedding to tell us they haven't seen their significant other dance like they did at our wedding in years!
I don't know where to begin with how fantastic Mary Ann is. Please excuse the lengthy review but I think it will help future brides.
We had our reception at The Gem Theatre in Detroit and the sound and music done by Mary Ann was incredible. We were referred to Mary Ann through our photographer and were won over right away during our phone consult. Mary Ann is incredibly professional yet tons of fun! She met with us at a restaurant in Royal Oak, treated us to dinner, and went over our entire vision and plan for the reception. She was on top of her game music wise, she listened to what we liked and didn't like, she made sure that she had everything down for our reception before we finished our meeting even if it took several hours.
At the reception, Mary Ann got our 16 person bridal party in order and did a fantastic job with introductions. She moved things along with the speeches, and played fantastic music during dinner. When an incident concerning attire occurred, she made sure to smooth things over and move things along without anyone else noticing. Following our first dance, I can honestly say the dance floor never cleared out. The manager at The Gem told my mom that she couldn't remember the last time the dance floor was always packed and it was an actual party. That was all thanks to Mary Ann. She listened to what we wanted to hear and be played, she made sure nothing we didn't like got played, even if it was requested. Mary Ann was unbelievably professional; the music she choose for us was exactly what we had envisioned without me having to make sure and talk to her constantly that what I wanted to be played was played; and Mary Ann was dressed professionally and looked fantastic as well!
From start to finish Mary Ann's service was impeccable. She responded to emails and texts rapidly and her demeanor and professionalism put myself and my now husband at ease. I can't recommend her enough!!
I highly recommend hiring Mary Ann for your wedding! She is an immensely fun, sincere, and caring person who will work with you to make sure your guests are having a great time and your night runs smoothly. It was so easy to trust her and kick back knowing she had her eye on the timeline for speeches and it was refreshing to have a MC and DJ that truly felt like a friend and wedding guest. I will also add to her awesomeness on the day of, that she was prompt, professional, and friendly in all of our communication leading up. When planning a large event it is a relief to have someone be prompt and friendly. I am so happy to have met her as a person. Thank you MA!
Mary Ann is so great to work with! She is so fun, and really wants to make sure your day is special. We sent her some songs via Spotify that we liked beforehand, she took requests from guests, and she kept the dance floor packed the entire night. We loved working with her, and we would definitely recommend to anyone.
If you are thinking of hiring Mary Ann, do it! She is so amazing to work with throughout the whole planning process and on the day of the wedding. There were people on our dance floor all night and her selection of music was great for all of our guests, young and old! Mary Ann went our of her way throughout the night to check on us and make sure that we had everything that we needed. She knows how to read a room and is the perfect emcee. Her planning process is super thorough, so that she can make sure your night is exactly how you want it. We definitely recommend her!
We loved working with Mary Ann! It ended up raining on our wedding day, so things were thrown off a bit, but she was happy to help with the new schedule (and everyone loved the music)!
We loved working with Mary Ann. We didn't have to really do a thing, and we had a great time! She is friendly and professional and fun and helped us organize the events during the reception in the best way possible. The few things we did have specifics on, she totally understood and helped make them special. There were several people who were unable to attend and she made she to acknowledge them in a meaningful way. This was particularly special at the end of our night when she closed out our party with two songs that have a lot of meaning to us. It made everything so personal.
MARY ANN IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! My husband and I think she was one of the best things about our wedding. Mary Ann just "got us." We didn't even provide her with a song list, we named artists and fully trusted her just by speaking with her a few times on the phone.
The music was SPOT ON and she had the entire dance floor full the entire time with the crowd yelling Encore at the end. There aren't many DJ's who can say that happens to them, I bet! :)
She is so professional and runs your wedding/event schedule exactly how you envisioned. We literally could not have picked a better DJ for a wedding. MARY ANN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mary Ann is an awesome DJ, and an equally awesome person. If you want a DJ that you will actually enjoy corresponding with and working with, Mary Ann is your gal. She is personable, outgoing and approachable. My fiance and I met her for drinks one day to discuss our music and entertainment vision for our wedding, and we could have sat and talked for another hour. Personality aside, Mary Ann listened to everything we asked for, and totally got the vision for our wedding day. We had a couple of nontraditional wedding things at our reception (pinata, our two college mascots, traditional Mexican chair dance, etc), and Mary Ann made sure that these were executed exactly as we saw them in our heads. From following up with our venue to make sure our entrance was correct, to interacting with guests, to making sure intros and speeches ran smoothly, Mary Ann was so on the ball. It was also a great sign that at the end of the night, the entire wedding was chanting "one more song!". Mary Ann sure helped us throw an awesome party!
Mary Ann is the BEST!!! Our dance floor was packed from the very first song! She handled our ceremony music and dinner music and she knew exactly what needed to be played at each part of our wedding! She kept the dance floor hopping the whole night! Somehow she played music that pleased everyone! We were able to send her a list of songs we loved, but then she just took over and everyone at the wedding was raving about how great the music was! Total rock star and a joy to work with!
Mary Ann is truly the BEST in the business! All I wanted for my wedding was to have a packed dance floor and everyone dancing the night away. Mary Ann 100% made my dream come true, we had our venue until 1am and we danced until the lights came on!
Her music selection was KICK ASS for both cocktail hour and reception. I keep getting comments from our guests that "I have never danced so much at a wedding", "this was the BEST wedding, I have ever been too!", "I have been to a lot of weddings, and your DJ is truly the best"
Not only does Mary Ann have a priceless collection of songs, knows how to read a room, she was great to work with. Her professionalism and over 25 years of experience made me so confident in "handing over the keys to the car" to her.
Mary Ann exceeded both our (Husband and myself) expectations and brought the party to a whole new level. Love her so much! :)
Choosing MA as our dj was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We had some unique requests and she totally embraced it and came up with some AMAZING set lists! She is very hands-on in making sure things run smoothly too - while our speeches were going on, there was a lot of noise coming from the kitchen, and I saw her (not the venue staff) step over and close the door to avoid any distractions from the speeches. Just little things like that show how professional she is and how good at her job she is. MA isn't like some cheesey dj's who just want to hear themselves talk all night, and that was important to us. She knows how to read the crowd and play music that will keep the dance floor packed! Our guests had a blast dancing to her music all night! =) THANK YOU Mary Ann!
We can't say enough wonderful things about Mary Ann. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone in a heartbeat! She was absolutely wonderful to work with. She made us feel comfortable immediately, and connected with us instantly. She tailored our night to fit us as a couple, and was so attentive throughout the whole reception. Everything went seamlessly, thanks to her. We have received SO many compliments on the music--cocktail, dinner, and dance! Absolutely adore Mary Ann!
We will be recommending Mary Ann to everyone we know, and using her for all future events in our family! She was absolutely incredible, we couldn't have asked for a better DJ. M.A.- thank you so much for everything you did for us, it really was the best night of our lives. And our guests couldn't stop talking about how great you were. If you are in need of a DJ, book her now! You will not be disappointed.
Choosing MA as our DJ was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process! From day one, she was helpful, energetic, and just "got" us as a couple. She understood exactly what type of music we liked and helped us to create a great lineup of songs. During the planning, she really helped to guide us through the planning process, figuring out details I would have never even thought of. The night of our wedding, She was spot on with all introductions of the wedding party and parents. She was processional and on schedule the whole night. We actually had her do the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. There was not a single moment all night that I was displeased with the music. The ceremony was beautiful. Cocktail hour and dinner included all of our favorite indie songs. And the reception was the most fun I have ever had. The dance floor was never empty. She is not a cliche DJ. She is such a caring, professional woman who really does have a gift & passion for music. She is much more than a DJ. We got so many compliments on the music that night that I lost track. I would recommend mary ann to anyone! Looking back, we could not imagine our wedding without her!
Mary Ann knows how to keep the dance floor packed! This was the only request I had for her. I really did not give her a play list/do not play list. I just let her do her thing. She is amazing at that. Our friends and family danced all night. We love her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great DJ!
Mary Ann is INCREDIBLE! Music is so important to my husband and I and were so worried about finding a 'not-cheesy' DJ that not only understood us, but would take our music recommendations and run with it. Mary Ann did exactly that and so much more!!
Our dance floor at our reception was packed the entire night. My feet are still recovering from dancing the night away and every single one of our guests has requested our play list - a HUGE compliment coming from our group of 'music buffs' :)
She is simply the Best! Mary Ann's free spirit and love for music shines through and you would be lucky to have her!
I wish I was in charge of more DJ services and hosting parties because I loved Mary Ann that much. She was OUTSTANDING to work with and I would recommend her to any and everyone. She was very professional but still knew how to get the dance floor going!
During my pre-wedding meeting with Mary Ann, I was asking her a million questions, and she looked me in the eyes and said, "Relax. This is why you just gave me a check. I've got it covered." And she did. Everything was just perfect. Thanks for being so cool, Mary Ann.
Mary Ann had DJed a couple of my friends weddings and loved her then... She's a true class act and helped to make the day run smoothly. Highly recommend her!
Mary Ann is the perfect DJ. She knows how to read a room so well. She made our reception a party! I hate to dance and even I got out on the dance floor! She is very professional and will make sure that she knows how to pronounce everyone's name correctly as well as make sure to introduce everyone that should be. She wasn't a big personality behind the mike and I think that is part of her magic to get everyone on the dance floor. She really made sure to follow our do not play list and she was great about taking requests! I loved that she was a master with how loud the music was such that people could still talk in the same room that dancing was going on. It made it fun and comfortable. She is awesome and I totally recommend her!
I love MaryAnn...I would hire her for any event I held. She totally got the music that I was asking for and helped every step of the way. Now if my guests had better taste in music the night would have been perfect!!!
I am not kidding when I say if you live in the metro detroit area and if you do one thing for your wedding, have Mary Ann as your DJ!!!! She seriously made our wedding the perfect day it was. You can find an email I wrote her on her website under her praise section at www.maprodj.com.
She is so amazing at what she does and so awesome. I think she must get tired of hearing how awesome she is. She basically knows exactly how to ensure you'll have the wedding of your dreams. She has been DJing for 23 years and you can totally tell. She knows exactly what she is doing.
Guests at our wedding kept telling us how awesome our DJ was and asking us if she was part of our venue or if we had chosen all the music for her to play. I was like, no way! That was all her!!! Plus, practically none of our friends are married so I am recommending her like crazy to everyone one I know. Get on it quick because someone from my work tried to get her and she's booked already.
She showed our guests who we are as a couple and gave them the great party we dreamed of and MORE! I think the sign of how awesome she was is that all of our guests were planning on an 'after party', but everyone was too tired to make it out because they partied too hard at the reception. :)
YOU MUST HIRE HER AS YOUR DJ!! You will not regret it.
BEST DJ EVER! Really, she is so helpful and great at what she does. My guests all loved her, I had people coming up to me all throughout the wedding telling me about how great the DJ was!
Mary Ann i AWESOME! There was NEVER a dull moment on the dance floor and everyone in my wedding went ON and ON about how fun the night was!
Mary Ann is hands down the best DJ I have ever seen. She was so understanding, comforting and fun to talk to. Mary Ann is a no-nonsense DJ who knows how to make a wedding both classy and full of fun that your guests will always remember. She stuck to our play and do not play lists and had so much insight about what makes a good wedding. Mary Ann was also able to help us navigate the ins and outs of the wedding day to ensure that both we and our guests would have a good time. I would highly recommend Mary Ann for any event!!
I would recommend Mary Ann to any future bride and groom. She went above and beyond to help make our night extra special, she knew exactly what she was doing and helped us along the way. Such a kind person, you can tell she enjoys what she is doing.
Mary Ann was the second best part of the wedding (next to marrying my hubby haha)! She was phenomenal. All of my guests can not stop raving about her. She is so professional yet makes you feel like you have been the best of friends for years. My only regret is that the wedding is over and now I won't see my amazing vendors again! I can not say how grateful I am to her, and urge you to book her!! The dance floor was packed the whole night. If you want an unforgettable night for you and all your guests CALL HER!!!!
I don't think there is a better DJ! She works with you on your play list, must plays, do not plays etc. She never had lulls in music and didn't ever make it about her. She was AMAZING!! We got so many compliments on her. Our other vendors loved working with her too. I highly recommend her! There is no one better!!!! We LOVE her!
Mary Ann is the BEST. From the very beginning of the process, we knew we were in good hands. She places a high importance on knowing what you want to get out of your event, and follows through. She was helpful before the wedding, answering questions and providing advice about everything from music to lighting to time lines. She has no problem keeping the dance floor packed, but more importantly, she's great at managing the pace of the night. We received countless compliment's on Mary Ann and the music throughout the evening, and over the weeks and months following the wedding. We are thrilled that we hired her, and would recommend her to anyone, without hesitation.
If you are in search of a Deejay for your wedding or event, look no further! I cannot rave enough about Mary Ann. I first heard her at a friend's wedding over twelve years ago and recommended her to my sister who was married shortly after. So, when my time came around I immediately called Mary Ann. I was not only thrilled that she was still in the business, but impressed that she immediately remembered our family! Mary Ann is not your stereotypical deejay. No smoke machines, inappropriate songs or cheesy introductions. The first word that comes to mind is classy. She was very accommodating to work with, kept in great communication leading up to the event and throughout the night. In my eyes Mary Ann also served as our wedding coordinator and made sure everything ran smoothly that evening. The week before I let Mary Ann know how I wanted things to run from the introductions to the dances and so forth and she made sure everything was timed flawlessly. She perfectly read our guests and catered to the crowd, the dance floor was full until 1am! We also had a band and I was nervous about mixing the two but it worked out wonderfully thanks to Mary Ann. At first, my husband was upset that I wanted a a Deejay in addition to the band, but afterwards he said it was definitely worth it. If I had to do it all over again, one thing I would not change is having Mary Ann there!!!
What can I say about my experience with Mary Ann Ross....well, she is...AMAZING...WONDERFUL...PHENOMENAL...THE BEST!!! Mary Ann is by far the BEST DJ you could ask for on such an important day (or any day for that matter). Our reception hall offered us a couple different dates and the date we went with was dependent on what date Mary Ann was available, period. A DJ is such a critical part of a successful evening, and a poor or 'all about me' DJ can ruin it. MA is easy going, helpful, professional, classy and above all always making sure you and your guests are having the best time possible. She is concerned with what YOU want. Of course we gave her a list of 'wants' however she filled in the blanks PERFECTLY! I actually had a guest email me after and ask for the play list from the wedding so they could use it for their birthday party! We received SO MANY compliments on what a wonderful DJ she is and people are still asking where we found her!
From the very first phone call she treated us likes friends and not clients. She offered advice, pointed us in the direction of other fabulous vendors and made the reception one we will never forget. Even when the lights went out, she started problem solving and kept the party going. I would entrust any event to her and know with confidence she would ROCK IT! I can't wait to have another reason to hire her or recommend her to a friend!!
I could go on and on with elated excitement about MA but just hire her for yourself and you can share in the excitement!!
Mary Ann was the best part of our wedding night! The dance floor was packed!! Loved her and all the music she played
Mary Ann gave us the classy and fun-filled evening that we were hoping for! Everyone we talked to during the reception and into the weeks following raved about her amazing music selection. All ages and generations were out dancing on the dance floor all night. In addition, her organization skills are top notch. As soon as we walked in the reception hall she was guiding us to the bride’s room and bringing us (the bride and groom) drinks. She always came to talk to us first before moving onto the next event to make sure we were ready (i.e. toasts, cake cutting, etc). The most praise we heard after the wedding is that the music and dancing were amazing and the wedding went off without a hitch. We couldn’t have done it without her!
We used Mary Ann at our wedding in May. Not only was she a fabulous DJ she was also really good at keeping us on time for the entire day. She recently started offering coordinating services and while we didn't use her for that I would still recommend her for that as well.
What Mary Ann brings to a celebration goes far beyond just playing some tunes. She brings class and elegance with her dignified yet fun style. She brings experience and expertise in sensing and influencing the mood of the guests with her music selections. She brings organization and structure to help events of the evening unfold. She brings persistence with a light touch in managing people to do what they should be doing when they should be doing it. She does all of this in a gracious manner without stealing the limelight from the bride and groom. She knows that the evening is all about the wedding couple and the guests having a wonderful time.
I had only one problem with her. The music and bar was supposed to stop at 11:00 p.m. But Mary Ann did such a fantastic job that the dance floor was still packed with guests rocking away. My daughter, the bride, asked me if we could keep it going until midnight. Of course, I could not say no. So the way I see it, Mary Ann cost me some additional money for drinks. But it was well worth it. The dance floor was still full at midnight. We had the time of our life!
