Mike Staff Productions at Fox Hills
Our Team Approach ensures seamless coordination between your DJ, photographer, and videographer throughout your Fox Hills wedding
Mike Staff Productions has worked at Fox Hills Golf and Banquet Center for over two decades, across all three of its event spaces. We’ve watched the Summerhouse get renovated, we’ve shot hundreds of ceremonies on the grounds, and we’ve learned the rhythm of how a Fox Hills wedding day actually flows. That kind of familiarity isn’t something a couple can buy at the last minute. It’s built one wedding at a time.
When you book Mike Staff Productions for your Fox Hills wedding, you get:
- Venue Expertise: We already know the room layouts, the lighting conditions in each space, and how the timeline flows from ceremony to reception at Fox Hills. No scouting trip required.
- Coordinator Relationships: We’ve worked alongside the Fox Hills Wedding and Social Sales team for years. That collaboration means fewer surprises and smoother handoffs on your wedding day.
- Consistent Quality: The same award-winning team handles your DJ, photography, and videography, so everyone is working from the same plan instead of meeting for the first time at your reception.
- One Coordinated Team: With our Team Approach, your DJ, photographer, and videographer come from one company under one contract, already in sync on your timeline and your priorities.
After more than twenty years at Fox Hills, we don’t just show up and react. We arrive with a plan built on real experience at this venue. That’s the difference between vendors who happen to be at your wedding and a team that knows how to make it run.
Best Photo Locations at Fox Hills
After more than twenty years of shooting here, the Mike Staff Productions photography team knows exactly where the light falls and when. Fox Hills gives you a pond, wooded groves, manicured gardens, a covered ceremony arbor, and clubhouse interiors all on one property, so you get real variety in your album without ever leaving the grounds.
The Golden Fox Wrap-Around Deck
The deck off the Golden Fox looks out over the golf course, and in the late afternoon it catches warm, even light that’s flattering for portraits. It’s our go-to for couple’s photos when the weather cooperates, especially in summer and early fall.
The Evergreen Grove and Wooded Paths
The tall evergreens along the edges of the course create deep, dramatic backdrops with rich green tones and natural shade. These shaded pockets photograph beautifully even at high noon, so they’re a great option when the sun is strong.
The Garden Walkway and Gazebo
The brick path winding through the ferns, hostas, and flower beds is a signature Fox Hills spot, full of color and texture. Nearby, the white garden gazebo and pergola arbor give you a structured, elegant frame that works for portraits and ceremonies alike.
The Clubhouse Deck and Golf Course Views
The wrap-around deck and the open fairway behind the clubhouse give you those sweeping golf course views, especially warm and golden right before sunset. It’s our go-to for couple’s photos when the weather cooperates in summer and early fall.
Indoor Spots for Any Weather
When it’s cold or raining, we move inside without missing a beat. The navy paneled lounge with its leather seating and framed artwork makes a refined, moody portrait setting, and the clubhouse entry is a clean spot for those first welcome moments. There’s always a good shot at Fox Hills, no matter the season.
Golden Hour Timing for Your Fox Hills Wedding
Mike Staff Productions plans your photo timeline around the light, not just the schedule. Golden hour, the stretch just before sunset, gives you the softest and warmest portraits of the day. Here's roughly when to plan for it at Fox Hills by season.
| Season | Approximate Sunset | Best Window for Portraits |
|---|---|---|
| Summer | 8:45 PM to 9:15 PM | 7:45 PM to 8:45 PM |
| Fall | 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM | 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM |
| Winter | 5:00 PM to 5:30 PM | 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM |
| Spring | 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM | 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM |
These are general windows, and exact times shift week to week. We'll build the right golden hour break into your timeline so you get those photos without missing your own reception.
Reception Spaces at Fox Hills
One of the biggest reasons couples fall for Fox Hills is the choice. Most venues hand you one room and that’s that. Fox Hills gives you three completely different spaces, each with its own personality, so you’re not bending your vision to fit a room. You’re picking the room that already fits your vision.
Mike Staff Productions has set up and performed in all three, so no matter which one speaks to you, we already know how to light it, where to place the dance floor, and how to make the room feel its best on camera. Here’s a closer look at each.
Golden Fox
The modern, chic premier space with dramatic golf course views, an expansive outdoor deck, and an elegant ballroom. The garden gazebo nearby makes a stunning ceremony backdrop.
Summerhouse
A newly renovated outdoor venue where you dine and dance under string lights, chandeliers, and the stars. The pergola ceremony space sits under a large cottonwood tree just off the water.
The Fox Classic
The original log-cabin rustic venue dating back to 1927, featuring a large stone fireplace, original wood logs, and a covered patio. Warm and intimate any time of year.
Fox Hills Ceremony Spaces
Mike Staff Productions always has a backup plan, which matters at a venue with this many outdoor ceremony options. Fox Hills gives you several beautiful spots to say your vows, and we’re ready for each one. Michigan weather can change fast, so we coordinate with the Fox Hills team on a weather plan well before your date. If the ceremony has to move indoors, we’re set up and ready without scrambling.
Golden Fox Garden Gazebo
A lush, flower-framed gazebo that’s one of the most photogenic ceremony spots on the property.
Summerhouse Pergola
A natural amphitheater nestled under a large cottonwood tree, just off the water.
Fox Classic Golf Course Site
An outdoor ceremony site with a bridal arch and sweeping views of the course as your backdrop.
Wedding DJ and Reception Tips for Fox Hills
After providing wedding DJ services at Fox Hills for over two decades, Mike Staff Productions knows how each space sounds and how to keep the dance floor packed in every one of them. Sound behaves differently in an open-air room like the Summerhouse than it does in the Golden Fox ballroom or the wood-walled Fox Classic. Here’s how we approach each.
No matter which room you choose, our wedding DJ reads the crowd and keeps the night moving from the first dance to the last song.
Filling the Golden Fox Ballroom
The ballroom gives us room to build energy, and the layout keeps the dance floor central so guests stay close to the action. We position sound to fill the room without overpowering the dinner tables.
Dialing In the Fox Classic
The wood and stone in this historic space carry sound warmly, so we fine-tune the setup to keep things lively without overwhelming the cozy room. It's a great space for a tight-knit, high-energy party.
Keeping Energy Up at the Summerhouse
Open-air spaces lose sound to the night air, so we bring extra coverage to keep the energy up under the string lights. Couples Alyssa and Patrick told us their dance floor was never empty, and that's the goal here.
