Mike Staff Productions

was an added bonus, he could have done a little better. The volume was hard to hear in the back of the reception and since we provided him with all the music, we may have made him a little lazy when it comes to keeping the audience engaged. Overall the company was great to work with. Very professional and provided a lot of helpful content, online payment portals, etc. It was a little hard to figure out who we needed to talk to for what once we signed our contract (8 months out). Also it’s best to follow their requested timeline in communications right before the wedding because we talked to each person a little early and then updated them later, but the last minute requests were missed on the day of. I still recommend working with them, but maybe also hire a wedding planner to help keep all your vendors coordinated with last min requests and you on time in the planning process.

the dance floor, he was the perfect MC for the evening and made sure our grand entrances, cake cutting, and first dances went smoothly. I would highly recommend using Mike Staff for your wedding DJ services!

as a huge reason why we had so many people on the dance floor all night!! 500/10! Jenny our Photographer was exceptional!! She ran was punctual, easy to work with, creative, efficient, and we just got our sneak peak and I am blown away! We wanted all the required formals, but our main focus was to have a photographer who would capture how incredible and fun the day was! Her photo journalistic style was spot on!! I cannot wait to see the finished photos in two weeks! 7,000/10!!! The two worked so well together and were on the same page all night and gave me zero stress!

icient and I was able to easily make online payments and see my balances at all times. You can tip through there too! When I went to my two-week meeting with the venue, the manager already knew I hired Mike Staff because she said they were the only company who sends her notices about the impending services they were going to provide and for who, which I thought was extremely impressive. Jenny and secondary photographer Priyanka were so wonderful to work with. My husband and I have never had professional photos taken before, and even on our own we're always forgetting to take photos of ourselves. Jenny (who I primarily worked with so I will mention her specifically) was calm, fun, and so efficient. She knew exactly what she was doing, gave great advice, and helped my husband and I with poses and directed us, which was exactly what I asked for. She took charge because I requested her to, and I was absolutely blown away at how quickly she finished many family photos I had scheduled to take place in a short period of time. Overall, I knew wedding days needed a lot of time cushion so I accounted for it, but Jenny was so efficient she gave us even more time than I originally cushioned for! Everyone was impressed by her knowledge and ease of directing people and overall! Phil was also amazing. He had a lot of tips to relate from his vast experience as a wedding DJ, and it was clear he was enthusiastic about DJing weddings and music in general from our conversation on the phone. He asked for specifics where needed, and managed to smoothly transition some songs I wanted for ceremony despite our officiant messing it all up, and I really appreciated it. Maybe it's generally known or standard for DJs to have good-sounding equipment but I just wanted to mention that he DID have very good quality speakers; music was crystal clear and projected well without being too loud and grating. We requested fun, upbeat popular songs to dance to at the reception, particularly maybe 2015 or before (since we haven't really listened to recent music) and he obliged easily. He got everyone on the dance floor with ease from the beginning and we LOVED all the music and fun going on. He of course threw in a few popular slow-dancing songs as well, and overall everything was perfectly balanced. He was calm and helpful, and his emcee style was just the right amount of laid back and fun (some weddings I see DJs trying really hard to get people hyped up and screaming and it's exhausting to us, so Phil was just the right DJ for us). One of my guests commented to me after how amazing a DJ he was, and when his daughters get married he'll ask me for who DJed my wedding :) We received our sneak peak and full gallery technically even earlier than promised. Mike Staff is so efficient, professional, and experienced, we were blown away. Our photos came out amazing, and I'm grateful Jenny and Priyanka were able to photograph two unphotogenic and awkward people and display us beautifully and capture all our moments. Overall, my husband and I felt well taken care of on our wedding day. Mike Staff was just awesome to work with, and we highly recommend them!

ly select our DJ after reading reviews and watching introductory video interviews. It was a tough decision but we ultimately chose Ron for our backyard wedding ceremony and reception. Ron went above and beyond to make sure not only my husband and I but our guests as well had everything they needed to have a good time. (Including things that DJs don’t typically do in my experience). Ron was friendly and energetic and our guests quickly fell in love with him. He even joined in some of our festivities. Our dance floor was full the whole night with almost all of our guests. Many people commented how they haven’t been to a wedding that fun and lively in a very long time. Ron made sure to play all of our favorites that we listed and followed them by songs we loved and didn’t think of. He was all around wonderful and I highly recommend him for your next event!

any event!

took song requests like we asked and he played so many songs that everyone loved! Very much recommend!!

verything went perfect! Would recommend James and Mike Staff 10/10 times. Cheers and thank you for everything!

ernative, a few modern artists, and some older rock like Fleetwood Mac. We absolutely loved what he came up with, and all our guests did, too! We got so many compliments about Brad’s DJ style and they loved how he worked in guest requests. Thank you so much to Brad and Mike Staff Productions!

th all of the men in my family since my Dad has passed away. Our two toddlers (3 years and 18 months) especially loved all the dancing. Once we were in cleanup mode, Greg played a few kid/Disney songs which kept the kids occupied and dancing around in their pjs! Highly recommend Greg and Mike Staff Productions for your future event!!

r day was nothing short of amazing. Our wedding guests raved about the music, saying that they have never been to a wedding where the DJ was so attentive to everyone & played music that everyone could dance to! From the bottom of our hearts, we can confidently say that James truly played a GIANT part in making our wedding day so amazing, and we cannot say enough amazing things about him. We LOVE YOU, DJ JAMES!!!

ence! The DJ, Phil, was so kind and able to accommodate my quirky preferences! Vesna, the first shooter photographer, was incredible to work with and I can't wait to see the pictures :) And last but not least Tracy, the videographer, was so ideal for seeing interesting shots or capturing the special moments throughout the day :D Just an incredible experience working with the Mike Staff team and company from start to finish :)

he photographer did a fantastic job, he did everything me and my husband wanted him to do. The process of getting Mike Staff to be a part of our wedding was very easy. By far Mike Staff was my favorite vendor to work with for our wedding :)

ized and our introductions and speeches went flawlessly thanks to him! He worked incredibly well with my coordination team at Beautiful Day Planning without me having to do anything on my day!

us updated on the timing of everything from our first dances to our must-play songs. I never left the dance floor and had the absolute time of my life! Our videographer ended up getting sick a few days before the wedding, but Erik called that day to reassure me they had a back-up coming and not to worry. It was comforting to know they have plans in place in case something like that happens. Dillon (sp?) ended up being our videographer and he was so easy going and great to work with. He was right there for every special moment, and we cannot wait to see our video. I highly recommend Mike Staff!!

They are extremely easy to speak with and quick to make any adjustments, and are very timely and personable. Our DJ, James, was the absolute BEST! Our dance floor was never empty the whole night. He played live music too during our ceremony and cocktail hour, which our guests absolutely loved the diversity. He was very thorough and organized with playlist do's and dont's. We were very impressed! As if that weren't enough, he was always offering to go above and beyond to help with other tasks that weren't even related to the music such as grabbing us a drink, helping us clean up some things, and more. Our videographer, Daniel, didn't miss capturing one detail and has such a great eye for moments that we didn't even expect. He was in his element and made it look so natural that at times we didn't even know he was filming us. He was nice and personable and you can tell that he loves what he does and creates masterpieces.

had James, Mike, and Daniel. These 3 were phenomenal and easy going, which made our day so comfortable and perfect! James did an excellent job and had played all our songs we were wanting to hear, and a great mixture of party songs. Even our guests were complimenting on how he played their request right away. Mike and Daniel were excellent in directing us what to do for photos and video and everything came back amazing. I've also exchanged a few emails with Jason who had great communication and was so easy to work with about adding music to our mini movie. Him and his videography team did a great job. Is there an option to give 12 stars? 😁 I recommend Mike Staff to everyone and I thank all of you guys so much for making our wedding perfect!!

ure that our music and lighting was to our liking. We are so grateful!

hour, to keeping the dance floor full all night, it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We had the opportunity to meet James at two of our friend's weddings before having him at ours and he made it feel like we were working with a friend. If you're looking for a fun, talented and professional DJ, look no further than DJ James with Mike Staff Productions! -Kari and George

fielding the questionable song requests from some of our guests (lol). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

ey were reliable, fun, kind, and extremely talented! Couldn’t recommend Mike Staff enough. Their presence alone made me feel that much more confident in the events of the day. Just amazing!

very easy. Don't think twice and hire them!

al wedding DJ. You can really tell that this is his passion. Josh is a true pro and HIGHLY recommended. Sylvester (DJ) - he was easy to work with and a great communicator throughout our wedding day. He stuck around for a few minutes after his scheduled time slot to fit in the dances and even captured a bit of the dance floor opening. First class and professional.

e vendors to be responsible for. We ended up hiring a videographer named Jake and a DJ named DJ Kevin J. DJ: DJ Kevin J was also great! We had a call with him a week before the wedding going over the music selection for the dances, cocktail hour, and reception. My husband and I’s music taste is pretty all over the place but DJ Kevin J was about the play music all across the board. One thing we really wanted at our wedding was music that made everyone want to dance all night long and DJ Kevin J definitely achieved that goal for us! He was able to keep our friends in their 20s-30s and our family in their 50s, 60s, and 70s on the dance floor! Overall, Mike Staff is an awesome company to hire for your wedding. You are able to “shop around” within the company and pick the person that best fits what you need. Jake and DJ Kevin J were our top picks for our wedding because their interests and style blended best with us. I have already recommended Mike Staff to many of my friends who are getting married in the next few years and I will continue to recommend them!

torm the dancefloor. Despite his eagerness, there were still a few things missed that make my stomach drop. I'm still left confused how even when James would confirm names and other details with us 5-10 minutes before the next event would happen, things were still missed. This includes a member of my bridal party (my brother) not being introduced during the reception entrance and, more importantly, skipping over my stepdad's speech altogether at the reception. Looking back, I would've booked another vendor — no shade to DJ James but I'm not very impressed with Mike Staff overall. In the beginning of your journey, Mike Staff shows you a set of intro videos of different DJs to best "pair" a DJ with you but these videos show you very little of the DJ's actual style and what music they play. Based on other weddings I've been to where Mike Staff has been booked, it seems like they're the type of DJ who will take a template wedding playlist and press play. Zero transitions between songs and will let a song play out even if there are awkward, slow points. They're a good basic wedding DJ, but if you want a real party, I'd recommend another vendor.

uests loved, and knew exactly how to get people back on the dance floor when there was lull’s throughout the night. Our guests had a BLAST, my husband and I were so impressed and had so much fun. Thank you Kevin and Mike Staff Productions for an incredible night!

ry detail down pat. We heard all the music we wanted to hear and then some, and our DJ was a very good emcee for the wedding. Dance floor was packed all night!

incorporate our piano song requests. He is SO talented and it really added something special to our wedding - thanks Matt!

e that Develin very gracefully and professionally handled a really awful situation involving our best man's drunk, hostile and completely embarrassing behavior. It would've been totally understandable if he'd lost his cool.

s for introductions and speeches. He respected our playlist but was also flexible when a couple things changed! Mary was my photographer and I can’t say enough about her- her efficiency, skills and overall energy/vibe. The biggest thing was how at ease and comfortable she made me feel from the first moment. I had a couple ideas but not an exact vision for pictures and Mary took everything into account to create beautiful shots. She was so in tune to when I started to feel stressed (organizing family shots) and just went above and beyond. Her assistant Sean was also fantastic- kind, helpful, fun. Both of them endured a very cold day for outdoor pictures. I am so excited to see the photos and honestly am so grateful and thrilled with my experience.

rry about a single thing for the music. And not only did he do an incredible job at playing the right music to get everyone dancing, he also helped the night run smoothly but staying on top of the timeline and was just incredibly nice and helpful. We had so many guests give us compliments about him throughout the night and there after, too! We recommend him any day!

and we went over all our styles and requests a week before the wedding and everything was pretty spot on. Our guests danced until 12am and could have kept going!

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!

er artistic eye! She is a fantastic photographer and I am so excited to get to see all of the photos from our special day! I highly recommend both of them and Mike Staff productions. Thank you James and Jenny!!

ng the reception and definitely knew how to incorporate the songs chosen. I would recommend booking MSP for your wedding.

. He was super accommodating and was great to work with

easy to get in contact with and very accommodating to all of my special requests. AND THE BEST PART IS: the entire wedding night and days after, my husband and I received complements from people of all age groups about our DJ Matt. We are 25 years old and all of our friends our age were up and dancing all night. Even better than that, our parents are around the age of 50-60, they and their friends were all dancing as well. There were people who did not leave the dance floor, just when you think "okay I'll be done ever this song I need a break" somehow your favorite song comes on and there's no way you're leaving. Shoes were coming off because nobody was leaving the dance floor. I provided a playlist of songs my husband and I like and somehow Matt knew exactly which songs should be played for dinner and which should be played for dancing. Mid-bite of his dinner, my husband turned to me to say "this guy is great, the mood is perfect". Everyone was so happy with him and I truly think it is so hard to please everyone and to have such a wide range of age groups complimenting the DJ is huge. My dad is the pickiest person in the world and he made a point to tell me how great our DJ was. Beyond impressed, do yourself a favor and hire Matthew Fillion from Mike Staff Productions.

was there for every important moment and we cannot wait to see our video!! Customer service before the wedding from Mike staff was fantastic! They answered all our questions and made sure our big say was perfect!

ble one, and we chose Kevin. He was great! He was super friendly on our pre-wedding call and did a great job on the big day. The party never stopped and there was always someone on the dance floor! Plus, he played every requested song we had or the ones we mentioned in passing on our call. I’m so happy with our choice! Since the wedding, people have continuously told us how fun it was and a big part of that is thanks to Kevin.

or doing a wonderful and unforgettable job!

uctions is prepared for these situations and already had a back up dj in place in case of this situation. I was so thankful they took care of this for us so we didn’t have to worry about finding someone else. Kevin was a great dj and took all our requests and was able to play the exact type of music we were hoping for. Our dance floor was getting down the whole night! I highly recommend Mike Staff for any event!

nt of the camera easy and comfortable. She captured all of the photos we requested, and many more! DJ Greg was fun and engaging with our guests. My husband and I both love to dance, and he made our wedding night one to remember! DJ Greg kept the dancefloor alive for over four hours!!

e more smoothly. Daniel started out at the ceremony space and was easy to work with as he got everything we wanted covered throughout the first half the day, as well as at the reception. He managed to get all the major things at the reception we wanted on video as well. As our wedding was only two weeks ago, we are still waiting for the video, but are excited to see it all together. Kyle was also amazing during the reception. He had a lot of energy that hyped up the room during the wedding party entrances. Once the dance floor opened for the evening, he kept the music going so that someone was always out there on the dance floor. Overall, wonderful experience and wouldn’t change a thing about the day!

lew it out of the water. There wasn’t a time the dance floor was empty. Huge thanks to Jeff for helping us have the night of our lives.

ith communication and made us feel comfortable from the moment we first spoke. Thank you DJ Tim!!

10 recommend both guys!!

n adapted to the situation and made sure my event went off without any issues! I will gladly hire him again for any event needs and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ!

e party, he gave me a fun dance party. Would use him again and again and again and again!

ok an entire hour on the phone to really make sure we walked through everything. Also, Mike Staff as a whole make it super super easy to do this. They have pre-made playlists to help give you ideas or starting points for every single part of your wedding (they even have playlists by theme) - ceremony, aisle walkup, reception, welcome song, etc...there is a whole playlist for it. These folks do a genuinely amazing job. They also give you a really easy (yet detailed) form to fill out for everything, so you can be very specific about what you want to happen at each part of your wedding. We went with Mike Staff because they actually have a pretty rigorous hiring process for their DJs to ensure they can read a room and be the vibe soothsayers that they are. We were so impressed with Matt as our DJ and can't thank him enough for the wonderful night that he helped provide.

way through the end of our wedding. Our DJ, Matt, and videographer, Michelle, were equally talented and great to work with; we had a ton of obscure song requests, and Matt amazingly figured out how to incorporate each one, and even though we had only had one brief conversation with Michelle prior to the wedding, she fit right in and her presence was a wonderful part of our day. Each person was so attentive, thorough, and pleasant to work with, and we absolutely cannot wait for our final photos and video. :) We truly could not have asked for a more perfect wedding, and we owe a lot of that to the talent and professionalism of Mike Staff!

for your help in a fantastic night!!

ny in a very special way. We are so grateful for you guys and recommend you highly!!
