What is the difference between a professional wedding DJ and an amateur?

The biggest difference is having a real backup plan. A professional company has backup sound gear on-site in case of equipment failure, and a paid DJ on call in case of emergencies. Accidents and medical issues happen. An amateur DJ with no contingency plan puts your entire reception at risk. Mike Staff Productions has a fully staffed backup system for every event.

  We hired DJ Marty for our wedding. He was on time, communicated well before and during the event, and brought an amazing level of professionalism. DJ Marty helped the ceremony and reception flow perfectly. While dancing he picked music that everyone knew and even joined us dancing on the dance floor! We love DJ Marty and would recommend him for your wedding!

  Mike Staff Productions is an awesome company! My best friend hired them for her wedding, and I loved them so much I hired them for mine. Troy was super kind and professional. He made sure to get to know what we like and what kind of wedding vibe we wanted. The songs we chose for the important moments sounded beautiful and he kept the dance floor music exciting. Highly recommend!

  We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike Staff Productions! We had the pleasure of working with Tim for photography, Jeremy for videography, and Jason as our DJ for our wedding, and we truly could not have picked a better company to handle all three services.

From the planning process to the big day itself, everything felt effortless. All three were incredibly professional, personable, and genuinely went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. They made us feel comfortable, took so much stress off our shoulders, and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our special day.

Tim, Jeremy, and Jason each brought something special to our wedding, and we are so grateful for the care, talent, and dedication they put into making our day unforgettable. Having a photographer, videographer, and DJ who all worked so seamlessly together made such a difference. On top of the incredible service we received, their pricing was very reasonable, making the overall experience even better and well worth the investment!

If you are a couple looking for a team to help make your wedding day unforgettable, we wholeheartedly recommend Mike Staff Productions! Choosing one company for all three services was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning, and we would make that decision again in a heartbeat.

Thank you, Mike Staff Productions, Tim, Jeremy, and Jason, for everything you did for us. You helped make one of the most important days of our lives truly incredible, and we will forever be grateful!

  There aren’t enough characters allowed in this space to describe how happy we are with our Mike Staff experience! The website is very user-friendly and everyone we spoke with was incredibly kind and professional. There was a clear management of expectations and 100% transparency throughout the entire process which, in my experience, is a true rarity. The pricing is super reasonable for all of the services and the website alone is an invaluable resource. Mike Staff is not just an entertainment management company— it’s an immersive experience worth every penny. I watched each artist’s video profile on the website and was immediately drawn to Pam (photography) and April (DJ). I had my fiancé watch the videos alone and when he came back to me, he had the same feelings as I did! It was wild! Photography- Pam is the most kind and understanding person and the most talented photographer I’ve ever worked with! I’ve never really been satisfied with a photo of myself until I met Pam, and I’m actually so excited to see these ones. She really took ownership of the space and made us feel comfortable and heard throughout the whole process. We were confident and felt completely at ease as we progressed through the session. It’s clear to see that she loves what she does and truly cares about her work. Pam is not just a photographer taking photos at an event, she’s an artist with a vision and does whatever it takes to get the perfect shot. It was amazing to watch her work the space and process the scene, and we’ll be recommending her endlessly. Thank you so much, Pam! We love you and can hardly wait to see the results 🥰 DJ- April’s ability to keep a party alive and keep the dance floor full all night is unparalleled and exactly what we wanted for our special day. She did our ceremony and transitioned seamlessly into our reception where she ensured a wholly interactive experience for all of our guests. People we never expected to see dancing were tearing up the dance floor and having a blast! April has an unmatched ability to read the room and adapt to the vibe as necessary. Her observations and intuitive nature were exactly what we needed to entertain our diverse age range. We absolutely recommend April to anyone looking to have fun all night!! Thank you so much, April!! We love and appreciate you 🥰 Thank you, Mike Staff Productions!

  I was so happy I picked Photographer Sarah for our wedding day! When I talked to her on the phone a couple of weeks before our wedding, I just knew she was the right fit. I loved her work when I picked her, but she was so kind and smart to talk to, also. When she showed up, she knew exactly what to do. She got right to work with our getting ready and 'stuff' pics at the hotel, and then she was off to the venue to welcome the guests and get pics there. She was never in the way and utilized the time that was given to her perfectly. Sarah never kept us held up during the wedding, which is always a huge pet peeve of mine when you haven't seen the bride and groom for 2 hours because they're outside taking pics, she was very sweet, had a great vibe, great advice, and I am so excited to see her work.

  I wish I could give DJ Joe a 10-star rating! He had such a big part in making 10/3/2026 the best day of my life! He was such a breath of fresh air to work with from the first touch base call, he answered all of my million questions and never acted like I was a burden or annoyance. He had a great vibe and played every single thing I requested and filled in the holes with exactly what I would've picked. He really is an artist! He played the perfect balance of oldies/new and slow/hype dances, with a few line dances in there that people just loved. From the minute he opened up the dance floor until the very last song of the night (which he let me pick), the dance floor was always full. As the bride, I don't think I stopped dancing for more than 10 minutes all night and I think that was just because I had to go to the bathroom lol. We are about a week past our wedding, and the compliments are still rolling in about how great he was, and I definitely agree. If you are wondering who to hire, pick Joe, 100%. If you see this, bud, thank you again!!!

  Excellent company that gave a list of DJ’s to pick from. Their response time is fantastic and they ask many questions to make sure you get what you paid for! DJ Troy provided excellent guidance on my husband and I’s special day! We had many questions and were unsure of certain decisions and DJ Troy was very helpful and thorough. He kept the dance floor full and the vibes right. He also worked great with myself and the photographer to make sure the reception went smoothly. I highly recommend this DJ and company!

"If we were to do it all again, we would 100% choose Mike Staff."

“Our wedding DJ, James, kept the party going all night. The dance floor was always packed full of people. Typically at weddings, you see the crowd die down towards the end of the night and in our case, everyone stayed until the night was closed down! Truly such an amazing experience with our DJ.”

Detroit Wedding DJs FAQ

What is the average cost of a Detroit wedding DJ?

According to the 2020 Wedding Wire Newlywed Report, the average cost for a professional Detroit wedding DJ is $1,350. Our prices for a wedding DJ range from $1199 – $1499, depending on the date. With Mike Staff Productions you’ll work with a certified DJ that you choose. Your wedding DJ will also serve as your Master of Ceremonies.

A wedding DJ can make or break your reception and the cost of a DJ directly represents how much fun you and your guests have! A lower price does not mean a better deal. A great wedding DJ does more than plan music:

Announce your grand entrance
Wrangle guests for toasts and dinner
Coordinate speeches
Announce special dances
Act as a wedding coordinator
Keep your reception on time
Communicate with vendors and guests

Investing 8-10% of your wedding budget on your DJ is actually a great value, considering that the DJ is responsible for handling 80% of your wedding reception. When deciding how much you can afford for entertainment, first think about how much you can afford to lose if your entertainment is poor or mediocre.

What does a DJ do at a wedding?

First and foremost, a wedding DJs job is to make sure you and your guests have fun. They do this by keeping your wedding reception running on time and the dance floor packed. Our professional DJs read the room to make sure guests of all ages are enjoying the music. In addition, our wedding DJs serve as a Master of Ceremony; a professional host who keeps your reception on track. They also make sure your other wedding vendors are working together so your wedding vision becomes a reality.

How do I find a Detroit DJ for my wedding?

You definitely don’t want to hire a wedding DJ without thoroughly vetting them first. That‘s a lot of work. The good news is, Mike Staff Productions has done the work for you. We’ve already done the background checks, we’ve already talked to references, we’ve already asked all the questions, we’ve already shadowed, extensively worked with, and gotten to know each of our team members’ personalities—which means we’ve eliminated the duds. Ask your venue about your Michigan Wedding DJ and read online reviews, too.

Do you need a DJ at your wedding?

Absolutely. ALL couples agree that your DJ can make or break your wedding reception, which means your wedding DJ is one of the most important factors of your wedding planning. Music also sets the tone & mood for other important parts of your wedding; ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner. Great wedding DJs also keep your wedding on time by coordinating with other vendors and making announcements and introductions. This is not a job for an amateur. Hire a professional DJ.

What should you ask a wedding DJ?

How much experience do you have?
Have you ever played at my venue?
What is your back-up plan if you get sick or can’t make it?
Does the DJ serve as the Host / MC?
How do you get people to dance?
What do you do if a guest requests a “weird” song?
Can I plan the details of my reception with you, personally?
Can you provide sound and music for my ceremony?

What is the different between a professional wedding DJ and an amateur?

Having a Back Up Plan.

One of the most important things you can find out before hiring, does that wedding DJ have a back up plan in case of emergency?

Back-up sound gear on-site in the event of an equipment malfunction
DJ on-call in case of emergencies or unforeseen events.
Let’s be real, emergencies happen and a DJ may not be able to make it to your wedding through no fault of their own, such as an accident or medical emergency.

A professional company will have a well thought out emergency plan and have paid DJ’s on-call and ready to go. Remember, the worst possible thing that can happen is for your DJ not to show up or have their equipment fail during your reception.
