If you do not hire a wedding coordinator who does all the booking for you, it can feel like you started a new career when starting to plan your wedding day. It can be stressful, but if you can find a little help along the way and find a way to make it fun, you will be just fine and know that your wedding day will turn out just perfect no matter what! Picking your DJ for your wedding day can feel a little overwhelming just like booking any other vendors. With the 8+ years I have been photographing weddings, I have worked with so many different DJs around Michigan and specifically the Metro Detroit area. Between doing some research and personally working with DJs from these companies, these are some of the most popular and best DJs in the area.
As a wedding photographer, I have worked with multiple DJs from Michaels Entertainment. They have always brought the party and have kept things rolling throughout the whole wedding day whenever they were there. They are a highly rated company and are always recommended in wedding circles on social media. It’s clear that people love them!
Founded in 2011 and based in Troy, Michigan, Michaels Entertainment has been servicing weddings and events in southeast Michigan for over a decade. The company maintains over 400 5-star ratings and has received The Knot Best of Weddings Hall of Fame recognition for 20 years. In addition to DJ services, they also offer videography, photo booths, 360 booths, uplighting, and big screen projections. Their team includes multiple professional DJs who work closely with couples through the planning processes.
Mike Staff Productions is a pretty well known company in Michigan as a whole. They are wide-spread, have several different DJs to match your wedding date, and have backup guarantees. I have also worked with multiple DJs from Mike Staff Productions and have never had any issues with them. They also offer other services as well.
Founded in 1996 by former Detroit radio personality Mike Staff, the company has helped over 25,000 couples plan their weddings. This tells you they’ve been around for a long time and have been a trusted company in the area for so many couples.
I’ve had the pleasure of working a wedding with Ultimate Sounds. The DJ that was present at this wedding at the St. Clair Inn was polite, helpful, and kept things moving for the couples’ reception.
Ultimate Sounds is based in Port Huron, Michigan, and provides sound, lighting, and entertainment to private and corporate events. The company offers professional DJ services, digital touch screen photo booths, uplighting, and live entertainment. Couples praise their DJs for keeping the party going and accommodating last-minute requests.
I have worked a couple weddings with Love + 1 and in those events, the DJ was always keeping things moving smooth.
Established in 2008, Love Plus One is based in Southfield, Michigan. Owner Darren Revell has over 20 years of experience in the DJ and radio industry. The company emphasizes reading the crowd and keeping dance floors active all night long.
This is one DJ on this list that I have not personally worked with, but from my research of personal testimonies, Christopher London seems to fit right on this list. The professionalism and uniqueness of this DJ company is all there!
Established in 2001 and based in Detroit (with offices in Westland), Christopher London DJ Service specializes in weddings, corporate events, and private parties. Owner Christopher London has been a full-time DJ and host for 20 years. The company offers a unique service called Synergy®, which combines live musicians and DJ services for a hybrid entertainment experience.
Choosing the right DJ for your wedding day is one of the most important decisions you’ll make during the planning process. The DJ sets the tone for your entire reception and keeps the energy flowing throughout the night. Whether you’re drawn to a company with decades of experience, a team that offers bundled services to simplify your planning, or a DJ known for reading the crowd and keeping everyone dancing, the Metro Detroit area has incredible options. All five of these companies bring professionalism, backup plans, and a genuine passion for making your wedding day unforgettable.
There are many DJs in all different price points. The best thing to do is create a budget and see what you can afford. Take the time to research their reviews and check out their websites. Reach out to see who feels like the best fit for your unique celebration. Trust me, when you find the right DJ, you’ll feel it. Your dance floor will be packed all night long!
