About this vendor

Planning a Metro Detroit wedding means making a lot of big decisions. Mike Staff Productions makes three of the most important ones easy: your DJ, your photographer, and your videographer.

Founded in 1996 by former Detroit radio personality Mike Staff, we've worked with 25,000+ couples across Southeast Michigan. Our mission hasn't changed: give every couple the best customer service experience they've ever had, with any company, ever.

What sets us apart:

Every DJ, photographer, and videographer passes our 118-point certification process, including portfolio reviews, background checks, reference calls, and real-world observation at live weddings. Less than 10% of applicants make the cut. We've reviewed 2.5 million images, interviewed 1,800+ references, and shadowed professionals at thousands of weddings so you don't have to.

Our Backup Plan is real. Certified professionals are always on-call for every service we offer. If an emergency happens, a qualified replacement steps in. Your wedding day won't be derailed, period.

Our Team Approach is built for your day. Your DJ, photographer, and videographer already know each other. They communicate before and during your wedding so transitions are smooth, moments aren't missed, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Mike Staff Productions has earned a spot in The Knot Hall of Fame for 25 consecutive years and holds the most 5-star reviews in Metro Detroit across DJ, photography, and videography. Couples trust us because we've earned it, one wedding at a time.

Trusted team who knows exactly what they’re doing

As a no-muss, no-fuss bride, I wanted a team of pros to lead the way—and that’s exactly what I got with Mike Staff Productions. We booked them for DJ, photography, and videography for our November 2025 wedding, and they handled everything with total professionalism and ease.

The entire team made the process smooth, stress-free, and honestly enjoyable. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish. Our photographer captured every moment beautifully, our DJ kept the energy flowing all night, and the video crew gave us stunning films we’ll cherish forever.

If you want a trusted team who knows exactly what they’re doing—this is it. We’re so glad we chose Mike Staff!

Get the wedding video!

I got married this past August, and I just had to get on here to let future brides know that I am OBSESSED with watching my wedding video. I almost didn’t get one — I added videography at the very last minute — but Mike Staff Productions made it so easy, and now we seriously cannot stop watching it.

Our wedding video is absolutely amazing. I love how easy it is to share on social media, but even more than that, I love how it lets us hear our families’ voices and relive our vows. Seeing Grandma Jan getting down on the dance floor — especially now that she’s sick — means everything to us. These memories are priceless.

The whole experience with Mike Staff Productions has been incredible. Communication was great, the process was smooth, and the final films are something we’ll cherish forever. And DJ Brad? He absolutely rocked our reception.

I’m so grateful we chose Mike Staff for videography. Truly one of the best decisions we made!

A packed dance floor all night!

Our DJ Antonio was absolutely fantastic!! During our pre-wedding interview he was such a fun guy to talk to and he helped us find the right version of every song we needed. He even asked me questions that I had never even thought of, and it made me feel very secure that he knew absolutely everything he could have possibly needed to know about the wedding day.

On wedding day, Antonio was on time, professional, and extremely organized. The ceremony went perfectly with sound and music, and it was an easy transition to the reception space. During the wedding, Antionio kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night! I didn't give him much direction, but he read the room perfectly and was great! Everyone was asking if I had made the playlist myself, and it was all Antonio! He knows exactly how to keep the party going and getting people excited to get out onto the dance floor!

I would recommend Mike Staff, and specifically Antonio (if he is available!) every time!!

DJ Ron from Mike Staff Productions

DJ Ron is an absolutely amazing DJ, hype man, and extremely talented in his craft!
He is extremely easy to work with, fun, and pays attention to every detail to make the night a success! Communication, vibes, and peace of mind comes with choosing him as your DJ and you will not be disappointed!
DJ Ron took the time to go through each individual step, song, timing, and worked with our venue to be proactive and make sure everything was a success.
If you want an unforgettable night and a dance floor that your guests won’t stop raving about, book Ron as your DJ!

What a Great Event Provider!

We can't rave enough about Randy @ Mike Staff Productions! From our initial meeting, to continued communication throughout our planning of our event, Randy was extremely available, and he just "got us"! Our event was a little different than the traditional wedding reception, but Randy was there to accomodate, suggest, and truly be the Master of Ceremonies that we needed! So very glad we went in this direction. Would 1000% hire Mike Staff Productions again!

The Browns 2024

We went with Mike Staff Productions for our DJ, photography, and videography for our wedding. We could not be happier with the service we got.

Bethany and Daniel both made my husband James and I so comfortable we forgot they were there! They capture some of our absolute favorite moments from our special day, both our videos and photos are the best time capsule we could ask for. They captured my 91 year old grandma having the time of her life and James's Aunts who came in from out of country! They were professional, on time, and we trusted their expertise, which made our day go so smoothly!

James K, our DJ was insanely talented, he was so kind and really listened to James and I! He found every unique version of songs we wanted played. Everything from the Core Memory song from the movie Inside Out, to our first dance song, an acoustic cover of Simply the Best by Tina Turner! He kept the party going and our dance floor was so much fun! We heard over and over, "Best wedding EVER!"

I feel like everyone probably hears that but with our day it was true and that was in big thanks to Bethany, Daniel, and James!

Capturing Every Cherished Moment with Mike Staff Productions

When we started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted every single moment preserved forever. Mike Staff Productions exceeded every expectation. From the moment we met their team, we felt completely confident that they understood our vision and would bring it to life. The highlight reel they created for us was breathtaking—every joyful and emotional moment perfectly edited into a short, shareable video. Our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about it after we posted it on social media! It’s the perfect way to relive those magical highlights again and again. But the real treasure was the Full-Length Feature Film. It felt like stepping back into our wedding day from start to finish. From the moment we said “I do” to our first dance, and even those small, heartfelt moments we might have missed in the whirlwind of the day—Mike Staff captured it all. Choosing Mike Staff Productions for our wedding videography was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for capturing the magic of our love story truly shine through. We couldn’t recommend them more!

So fun at our Whiskey Factory (Detroit) wedding

We could not have been happier with the quality of our experience having a Mike Staff DJ for our October wedding. Mike Staff Productions was very smooth to work with, and their professionalism was so welcome among the other planning we did (without a dedicated planner). Their online form for adding all of your details and requests is very thorough and helpful, so we felt they had everything from us.

DJ Evan was easy to communicate with in preparation, took great consideration of all of our requests, and was fantastic on the day! I will say that we felt we were pretty low-maintenance in terms of having "control" over the music, but throughout our reception we did talk with DJ Evan at various points and he took care of every detail in stride. Basically, he's a pro and we trusted him to do the job, and were not disappointed!!

The easiest way to book your most important vendors!

We booked the team approach from Mike Staff Productions for our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with our entire experience. Having our photographer, videographer, and DJ all know each other and having worked together at previous weddings really made a difference. Their compatibility showed throughout the entire event. Each of them was on time, highly professional, and made sure that all of our family members and guests were comfortable with whatever was going on at the moment.

Our photographer, Vesna, who immediately jumped into action the moment she arrived. She created a fun, relaxing environment and made us feel like we weren't in a photo shoot. Vesna had an eye for what I thought was not a very photogenic venue, but she made our pictures beautiful. The way she spoke to all of our family members during formal pictures made everyone feel relaxed, but also aware that we needed to get things done. She was constantly making sure my husband and I were on the same page and knew what was going on. We couldn't be happier with her work.

Secondly, our DJ was the highlight of the entire wedding. All of our guests are still raving about how much fun they had during the reception. Once everyone got on the dance floor after our dance, no one left until the entire wedding was over. He made sure to cater to a very diverse crowd of guests and played everything we asked him to. He made us feel like we were the stars of the show. We highly recommend Ron if you’ve got a guest list that loves to dance!

Lastly, our videographer, David, was just wonderful to work with. He tagged along with Vesna and really captured a lot of beautiful moments on our wedding day. We couldn't be happier with the video and how it all turned out. He made sure he was never in the way but still captured every moment. His laid back demeanor and friendly attitude really helped put us at ease in some stressful moments.

We highly recommend Mike Staff Productions for anyone considering them for their wedding. They truly made our day unforgettable.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I was immediately impressed by Chelsea of Mike Staff Productions. From one wedding pro to another I could tell she knew what she was doing. She got all the family shots the couple requested and documented the ceremony perfectly. I look forward to partnering with her in the future.
