Hey Mr. DJ

The decision on a DJ was not one I was excited to make. Some DJs can be serious cheese balls who like the sound of their own voice to much or think it's funny to dance with grandma. But its hard to tell how DJs will perform when you're meeting them out of their element. So when we started our search for a DJ, I began by looking for recommendations from other brides. One great site that I have been using throughout the planning process is Project Wedding. They have a great list of vendors for everything from entertainment to flowers to dance lessons...pretty much anything you'd need for a wedding. I also quite often check out the local boards over at Wedding Bee . So it was on positive reviews via Project Wedding that we decided to check out Mike Staff Productions.

I must say I was so very impressed by the way they run things over at Mike Staff. This is not some guy running DJ services out of his basement. This was a full blown business. This is what they do FULL-TIME. When we arrived for our appointment, we were taken upstairs to sit in front of a giant big screen TV. The CEO of Mike Staff, Kurt, would be talking us through how everything works. Basically we got to see a short video of each DJ that was available on our date. The videos had each DJ introduce themselves, explain what their style of DJing is and why they enjoy DJing for weddings. The videos also gave a sample of how they actually MC - announcing the wedding party, the first dance etc. Kurt gave us a little personal insight into each candidate too as he knows them all quite well.

We were there for about and hour and half to make sure we got all our questions answered and we were satisfied with what Mike Staff had to offer. It was actually quite fun, mostly due to the fact that Kurt is one of the easiset people to talk to that I have ever met. In the end, we booked the first DJ we looked at and I think we will be truly pleased with them.

On another note, Mike Staff also does Photography and Videography but we'll touch on that in another post soon...
