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!! read more

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! read more

Mary Ann is amazing! Keeps the party going, keeps it professional, and makes everyone feel welcomed. I would use her again in a heartbeat.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to Mary Ann. We had a mix of music tastes as well as including both cultures into our event and she made this happen seamlessly. Mary Ann dances with your crowd, cracks jokes here and there, and keeps your party going when there could be a lull in dancing. She was awesome to work with before our event with picking music and figuring out how to make everything work. She truly is one of a kind read more

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. read more

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. read more

Mary Ann was an incredible DJ for our wedding! She took time with us ahead of time to make sure that she understood exactly what we were looking for and she delivered on that! Songs that we picked individually were all played throughout the night, and songs that we didn't hand pick were on point for what we were generally looking for. She made sure that the night went as smoothly and perfectly as she could and we couldn't have been happier with her! read more

I can't say enough about Mary Ann! She is incredible as a person and AMAZING at what she does. We had several phone calls with her leading up to our wedding, and she was very interested about getting our 'vibe' and what kind of music we wanted to play during dinner and the reception. She is very detail-oriented and made us feel extremely comfortable about the timing of our grand entrance, first dance, mother-son, father-daughter dances, etc. We sent her a spotify playlist of songs we liked for dinner and the reception, and she had us select the absolute 15 favorites that we wanted played. But then she was able to interweave most of our requested songs throughout the night. She was very communicative with us on the big day - getting thoughts on how we were liking the music, volume, etc. and was open to all suggestions. She does not use fog machines, crazy lights, effects, doesn't yell into the mic to get people to dance, etc. She lets her craft speak for itself. She is truly gifted and such a genuine person - and a big reason of why we had such a BLAST during our reception. We are dancey people and I think we only left the dance floor once that night :) Thanks Mary Ann! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Mary Ann rocks! She was highly recommended by our venue and every other vendor we met with only had great things to say about her. When we read through her online bio, we knew we had the same tastes in music and she was the right choice. When we finally got to meet in person closer to the wedding date to go over details, I couldn't believe the instant connection she and my now husband made over music! They were on the same exact wavelength and she knew exactly what vibes we wanted. She was fantastic on the day of, and was a subtle yet effective MC. The dance floor was packed the whole night! I really liked that she came up to ask us if we wanted her to play a requested song, because she knew it wasn't something we wanted played but it had been asked for a few times. She was able to control the situation with no issues. I would recommend her any day! read more

We hired Mary Ann as DJ and MC for our March Wedding at Planterra. The entire experience of working with Mary Ann was wonderful. Our initial meeting was a lot of fun discussing our vision for our wedding and having Mary Ann's input on the best way she could help make that open. Her suggestions meshed with our ideas seamlessly. We did not have much in the way of must play songs, more broad strokes of how we wanted the evening to progress. The different sets Mary Ann created for the different parts of the evening were superb. We had Mary Ann ranging from classical to big band and swing to broadway to top 20 and Dance. Everything flowed beautifully. Her communication through both the planning and the event itself was a perfect amount to keep us up to date without over doing it. Mary Ann also did a fantastic job MCing the evening. Keeping track of our bridal party was not the easiest job, and she did it well. Both Erika and I can confidently recommend Mary Ann for any event and can't imagine our wedding without her! read more
