My DJ services were great. Reasonably priced. DJ Chris was exceptional at communicating with me prior to our wedding to have different genres of music. He kept the crowd engaged in the music and dancing. I are very satisfied with my services and I highly recommend.

Mike Staff helped provide the perfect DJ for our wedding! We had DJ James K, he was wonderful - organized, on time, and conscientious of everything we asked of him. James did an awesome job and had the dance floor packed the whole night!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with DJ Ron from Mike Staff Productions and could not recommend him more highly! From the planning process through the last song of the night, Ron was professional, organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding celebration exactly what we hoped it would be. Communication leading up to the wedding was excellent. Ron made the process easy, listened to our preferences, and helped us feel confident that the music and flow of the reception were in great hands. His balance of professionalism and fun energy carried through every part of the evening, and the quality of service we received was outstanding. Ron was also an incredible emcee. He kept the reception moving smoothly, made announcements feel natural and energetic, and brought exactly the right amount of personality without ever overdoing it. He helped create such a fun and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. And, most importantly, he had the dance floor going all night!! He did an amazing job reading the room, choosing songs that kept people excited, and balancing our musical preferences with what our guests were responding to. Seeing so many of our friends and family dancing together was one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding. For the level of professionalism, communication, entertainment, and overall service we received, we also felt that Mike Staff Productions provided excellent value. DJ Ron played such an important role in making our reception memorable, fun, and completely stress-free. We are so grateful we had him as part of our wedding day and would recommend him to absolutely everyone!

Mike Staff and DJ Evan made our wedding great! First they were so easy to work with and get all the details done before the wedding. Then DJ Evan was a perfect fit. We were behind in our timeline but DJ Evan calmly made it seem perfect. The music was amazing and people I never thought would dance were out there having a blast. Such a fantastic experience!!

Mike Staff made our special day completely unforgettable!! Jenny, our photographer, was amazing from the get go. She was so fun and energetic! She was constantly making us laugh and smile which helped tremendously with wedding nerves and getting ready! I will always appreciate her helping me get settled and fluffing my dress for pictures, making sure it laid just right. Overall, she was absolutely AMAZING and I’m so glad she could be a part of our special day. Our DJ Ron was a hit! He always brought the energy, kept the crowd going, and was so fun! We all loved him and I’m so glad he was a part of our day! He is so sweet and easy to work with! I can’t thank him enough! Overall, we are extremely satisfied with Mike Staff for our wedding day. 💚
