    Don’t hesitate, hire her!!

    From our very first meeting to the day of our wedding we knew that we were in great hands with Mary Ann. She does a wonderful job of getting to know you as a couple and the stories behind your favorite songs to better understand the atmosphere you are hoping to create on your wedding day. Mary Ann also worked hard to keep our dance floor packed and to keep us on schedule for the night. Our reception flowed flawlessly thanks to Mary Ann’s transitions and attention to detail. She also did a fantastic job of playing a variety of music to keep everyone engaged and out on the dance floor. She was able to seamlessly transition between each genre and all of our must play songs. We honestly could not recommend Mary Ann more!

    Mary Ann is amazing!!

    We could not recommend Mary Ann enough. She DJ’d our wedding at Planterra on January 6, 2024 and our guests have been raving about her music ever since. Seriously!!

    During the planning process, Mary Ann was extremely attentive to what we wanted. During subsequent meetings, she always remembered our requests and had meticulous notes even a year later!

    She asked us what was most important about our wedding and we told her the timeline—we really wanted things to flow smoothly! She helped us create a master sequence of events that we ultimately went with, and our wedding flowed beautifully. We had so many compliments on our wedding and timeline that Mary Ann helped create. She is so much more than just a DJ! She felt like a true friend who had your back by the end of the evening.

    During the wedding, so many guests complimented our music. She nailed the song selection and read the room like a champ. She had the dance floor going the entire night and thoughtfully placed the songs I told her were most important to us. Ugh- she just nailed everything and was so adored my us, our family, and guests. Thank you so much Mary Ann!!

    We love Mary Ann

    Mary Ann came very highly recommended to us by two of our friends who employed her services for their weddings. We had a very short engagement and were thrilled that we were able to book her given the brief three months that we gave her to set up for our big day.

    She was such a pleasure to work with and we are so grateful for the advice she shared with us as well as the patience she had for us in our indecisiveness and seeming inability to meet deadlines. She was always happy to give feedback on and accommodate my goofier song ideas where I was able to fit them in.

    She is a true professional and we were really at ease knowing that she had everything handled alongside our day-of coordinator with regard to keeping the event on schedule, announcing us at the right time, corralling guests and pulling them aside when they needed to be gathered for photos, etc. The evening went without any issues whatsoever - even with a rain shower that almost threw our schedule off - and all the minute-by-minute items on our day-of schedule were nailed to a tee. She had a huge hand in the fact that we were able to actually be present and enjoy our own wedding day as opposed to running around like maniacs checking things off of a to-do list or wondering where we were supposed to be at any given time.

    She does a really great job with song selection too and played all the music I gave her as well as some of her own picks which was really helpful in the situations that I struggled to come up with ideas of my own. She is very thorough (but not tediously so) in the way she tries to get to know your music tastes and we never for a minute worried about what song was going to be playing next. She has a great talent for reading the room and playing the right tracks at the right time.

    As I told her after our wedding was wrapped up, if I had to go back and plan everything over again I would have picked her again ten times out of ten. Do yourself a favor and book her if she is available for your event!

    The best!!

    We started working with Mary Ann back in 2019, when we were planning for April 2020. We postponed our wedding three times, and Mary Ann was incredibly gracious and flexible throughout the process, making the difficult decision to change our date incredibly easy to implement. For three years, every time we told another vendor that Mary Ann was our DJ, we heard nothing but the highest of praise. "You're in great hands!", "Oh she's the best!" Mary Ann absolutely lived up to the hype. She took time before the wedding to talk with us about what we imagined for our music to ensure the night would be exactly what we expected. She encouraged us to think hard about things we'd never considered -- like dinner and cocktail hour music (we ended up incorporating a playlist we used at our downsized COVID event into that time) and which version of Hava Nagila we wanted for the Hora. Since my husband's family is Puerto Rican, we provided a Spotify playlist of Merengue and Salsa music, which she expertly interwove with Motown and pop to keep both sides of the party on the dance floor all night. And when our cousins who requested the Wobble turned out to be the only people at the party who knew the dance, she stepped out of the booth and became a dance instructor. You will not find a better DJ -- I could not recommend Mary Ann highly enough!

    Best DJ Ever!

    We hired Mary Ann as our DJ for our March wedding, and we absolutely LOVED working with her! From start to finish she was helpful, responsive, and made the whole process so easy. We collaborated with her to cultivate the perfect playlists for dinner and the reception; people are still talking about the music and dancing! We highly recommend her services!!

    Wonderful!

    Mary Ann is more than a wedding DJ - she truly felt like a friend and she set the tone for our entire wedding day! She has incredible attention to detail and made sure our music selection was exactly what we wanted and would keep our guests on the dance floor. She made so many helpful suggestions from the timing of the first dances, to the bouquet toss, to the length of our ceremony music. She even took the time to download instrumental versions of specific songs for my dad and I to sing during the reception. We are so grateful for Mary Ann and can't imagine having anyone else there on our big day!

    Amazing Wedding DJ!

    My husband and I were pretty laid back about wedding planning, EXCEPT when it came to the music. Our personal preferences are not exactly in line with a “typical” wedding reception playlist, but I still wanted our guests to have a great time on the dance floor. It turned out we had nothing to worry about, thanks to MA. I knew from our phone call prior to the wedding day that we would be in good hands, and she exceeded our expectations.

    Our dance floor was packed all night, and many of our guests commented on our fun and unique music selection. We told MA prior to the wedding which songs were most important to us, and she made sure to play them only when my husband and I were available to dance. She was happy to play some “unusual” requests, but only after checking with my husband and me to make sure we approved. Thank you MA for making our wedding night truly unforgettable.

    The coolest DJ around!

    Mary Ann is the best in the business! I could tell from our first conversation that she would be so much fun to work together, and she was! I so appreciated her flexibility and patience as we navigated postponing our wedding and swapping venues during COVID. Despite social distancing, she still kept our party going and everyone had an amazing time! Cannot thank you enough, Mary Ann! Highly recommend!

    Exceeded Expectations

    I was so concerned when it came to DJ's because I've seen/heard horror stories. Mary Ann came recommended from our venue and after the first phone call is was clear why.

    She asked a ton of questions to understand us as a couple and our style. She asked what we didn't like from other DJ's and what we were looking for to make sure she was the right fit for us. It was clear that our happiness was her number one priority!

    Mary Ann is so sweet and easy to work work. She's communicative, organized and made us feel so confident with our decision during the entire planning process. Our guests were on the dance floor all night thanks to her spins!

    A joy to work with

    Mary Ann is an amazing music ninja. On our wedding day, she slipped so sneakily into the background that at times we forgot she was there! But her presence was so essential and such a beautiful part of the day. We loved chatting with her in the lead-up to the events, and she was such a reassuring force the day of — keeping everything running smoothly and setting just the right tone for every moment. During the planning stages, we really appreciated how attentive Mary Ann was to all of our requests, and how quick she was to suggest great solutions for all of our worries. We are so grateful we had a chance to work with her and highly recommend her DJ magic.

    a must have for your wedding

    Mary Ann was incredible. This wasn't the first time my family has used her and it surely won't be the last. Mary Ann knows how to read the crowd and keep people on the dance floor and is SO much fun to be with. You can tell by the way she interacts with the crowd that she truly enjoys and takes pride in her work. We had a slight hiccup at our wedding with the weather where we almost had to evacuate the tent and move inside and Mary Ann was ready at the drop of a hat to grab a speaker and her laptop and bring the party inside. Luckily we didn't have to, but her adaptability was reassuring to us. I can't recommend Mary Ann enough for any event that you have.

    I love maryann

    I normally don't leave reviews unless i had a terrible experience. But Mary Ann has exceeded my expectations and I have to make that known. I knew I made the right choice by hiring Mary Ann after my initial phone meeting with her. The first thing she asked me was "What were the reasons why you didn't hire the DJs you've seen at other weddings?" And I told her because of the type of music played didn't appeal to the crowd, the transitions between songs were terrible, and the sound quality. Mary Ann knows how to read the crowd. My dance floor was never empty. I wish I had a part two for my wedding so I can hire her again!. Thanks Mary Ann!

    PS. I also have to add that she is so stylish with her Gucci glasses!

    Mary Ann was absolutely incredible! We have already recommended her to two other couples getting married next year. She is extremely vital to our day. From the meeting before the wedding to the last song she played of the night, it was an absolute joy to work with her. She was organized and kept the reception and cocktail hour moving so that there was no lull whatsoever. If you are even thinking about hiring Mary Ann, I say do it. She will make your special day perfect in every way.

    MA is honestly the best. She is way more than a DJ – She is a true entertainer. Thanks to MA, we had a packed dance floor at our wedding reception all night until we were forced out of the ballroom at 1:00 AM. She knows exactly what to play in order to keep the party going, and my husband and I can’t thank her enough for that. She is super organized, awesome to work with, and all around, just so much fun. We feel so lucky that we got the chance to work with her.

    The DJ was one of the most important items on our list. Mary Ann did not disappoint!! She understands every aspect of a wedding and is so willing to make it work for you. One of my favorite things is that she made a special musical theatre playlist for our dinner hour (I’m a drama teacher). It was so personal and my friends and family loved hearing Hamilton while eating bbq. She has DJ’ed both my brothers and my wedding-each time everyone commented on how incredible our DJs were. None of them realized it was Mary Ann both times. We call her the official DJ for our family.

    Mary Ann was a vital creative and, truth be told: spiritual force within our amazing wedding at Planterra Conservatory in June 2018. We were thrilled to meet her early on, as we had been focused (once we knew we would not be using a live band) on finding the coolest, best DJ in the Detroit region. And that we did. She's of the region, and her style, taste and mode of working reflect this. It's an honor to have her in our world.

    From day one, it was a perfect fit and wonderful experience: relationship, knowledge, service, execution. MA takes great care to establish the relationship immediately through thoughtful conversation, planning, and just the right level of collaboration. Then, she brings her authentic and DEEP musical knowledge and repertoire to bear. She plans meticulously, dials into your taste, is infinitely able to build based on your vision -- and ultimately, masterfully, creates the night of your dreams.

    Of the many other plusses, too many to mention here really, she knew our venue inside and out and had solid working relationships with our team already and most all of the other partners we chose as part of what truly became a dream team. She was in many ways, the glue. And, she was certainly, my rock. Did a number of subtle cool things for me day-of for which I am grateful and which make me smile when I think back. She totally gets it.

    We loved working with her, miss her already and cannot rave vehemently enough.

    The all-in, ultimate pro, best taste and knowledge in the business, coolest cat in town -- who has your back and truly shares in your joy.

    Mary Ann was amazing from start to finish. She met with us before the wedding to go over the agenda and get the proper pronunciations of everyone in the wedding party. At the wedding she was organized and did an amazing job announcing all of the toasts, cake cutting, and first dance. After dinner she got people out on the dance floor immediately. Throughout the entire night, the dance floor was packed and people were having an amazing time! Everyone from grandparents to young cousins were out dancing and laughing. Mary Ann helped make our big day so much fun for everyone!

    Firstly, Mary Ann Productions was recommended by our amazing wedding photographer, and I think it speaks volumes for someone to recommend another vendor for the same event they're booked to work. To me, that requires a lot of trust that they will help an event go smoothly and won't hinder your reputation or interaction with the hosts.
    Secondly, Mary Ann was very supportive, responsive, and enthusiastic about all of the little details and music elements we wanted to include. She also gave a lot of constructive insight based on her past experiences.
    Most importantly, she made sure to touch base with us throughout the night to ensure we were there for the special moments we requested and she was very flexible. We gave her a lot of creative control (because we trusted her, but also did not have the energy to micromanage), and she did not disappoint! So many guests told us how great the music was, and the dance floor was full all night. Also: her setup is very minimal (not flashy and overbearing like some DJs), so it didn't interfere with our aesthetic. She just provided a fantastic time and made our night the most perfect it could be!

    Mary Ann is the best in the business for a reason. She reached out to us before our wedding to get an idea of our vision for music and dancing, and made professional recommendations for us as well. Throughout the reception, she continuously checked in with us, as well as our parents, to ask about requests and how we were feeling. She did all of this while keeping the dance floor packed all night long! We still have people messaging us weeks after our wedding to tell us they haven't seen their significant other dance like they did at our wedding in years!

    I don't know where to begin with how fantastic Mary Ann is. Please excuse the lengthy review but I think it will help future brides.

    We had our reception at The Gem Theatre in Detroit and the sound and music done by Mary Ann was incredible. We were referred to Mary Ann through our photographer and were won over right away during our phone consult. Mary Ann is incredibly professional yet tons of fun! She met with us at a restaurant in Royal Oak, treated us to dinner, and went over our entire vision and plan for the reception. She was on top of her game music wise, she listened to what we liked and didn't like, she made sure that she had everything down for our reception before we finished our meeting even if it took several hours.

    At the reception, Mary Ann got our 16 person bridal party in order and did a fantastic job with introductions. She moved things along with the speeches, and played fantastic music during dinner. When an incident concerning attire occurred, she made sure to smooth things over and move things along without anyone else noticing. Following our first dance, I can honestly say the dance floor never cleared out. The manager at The Gem told my mom that she couldn't remember the last time the dance floor was always packed and it was an actual party. That was all thanks to Mary Ann. She listened to what we wanted to hear and be played, she made sure nothing we didn't like got played, even if it was requested. Mary Ann was unbelievably professional; the music she choose for us was exactly what we had envisioned without me having to make sure and talk to her constantly that what I wanted to be played was played; and Mary Ann was dressed professionally and looked fantastic as well!

    From start to finish Mary Ann's service was impeccable. She responded to emails and texts rapidly and her demeanor and professionalism put myself and my now husband at ease. I can't recommend her enough!!

    Mary Ann is the absolute best! If having great music at your reception is something that is very important to you, then go with someone who knows music. Not only does she know what she's doing, but she's respectful of your wishes. She follows what you want for your day. She is so personable, and so easy to work with and talk to. We just love her. And she put up with all of our groomsmen's super weird requests. 5 very big stars for Mary Ann :)

    If you are thinking of hiring Mary Ann, do it! She is so amazing to work with throughout the whole planning process and on the day of the wedding. There were people on our dance floor all night and her selection of music was great for all of our guests, young and old! Mary Ann went our of her way throughout the night to check on us and make sure that we had everything that we needed. She knows how to read a room and is the perfect emcee. Her planning process is super thorough, so that she can make sure your night is exactly how you want it. We definitely recommend her!
