Mary Ann Productions

rue 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!

o 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!

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.

ested 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!

ong requests, and Mary Ann went above and beyond to make sure the music was what I wanted.

uests 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!

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!

ience 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!

e asked for a better person to work with!

own the days until we can actually celebrate with her!

o 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!

tly. 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!

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!

ding, 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!

r 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.

h 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.

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!

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!

ry 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!

ll night. Thanks MA for a wonderful night that we will never forget!

h 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!

ot 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.

edding 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.

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!

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.

d 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.

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!

ding 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!

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!

ns 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!

roit 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!!

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!

from guests, and she kept the dance floor packed the entire night. We loved working with her, and we would definitely recommend to anyone.

oor 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!

ic)!

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

, 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!

art 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!

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! :)

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!

mfortable 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!

- 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.

tood 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!
