Voted Best DJ in Metro Detroit

Detroit has voted and once again the incredible team of DJs at Mike Staff Productions has won WDIV-TV Channel 4’s “Click On Detroit Best Of” Contest for the 4th consecutive year (and every year that they had the contest)!

Thank you to all our brides, grooms, and vendor friends who thought us worthy of winning. Thank you as well to our all our DJs for your deep desire to make your brides happy, your hard work, commitment, and super-human DJ/MC abilities!

While the best gauge of how well our DJs are doing always comes from the “hug at the end of the night” … it is still extremely rewarding to be recognized publicly. I am so very honored to be able to lead such an incredibly talented group of people. Thank you for making it all worthwhile.

So creative and personal.

Strut Your Style

Your wedding is your day to make a statement about you and your man's love, style and personality. Check out the recent wedding of Victoria and Stephen. They owned their personal style in all their fun wedding details.

Look at those custom cloth bouquets.

This face is just priceless!

Computer chip boutonnières? Maybe new trend!

Embroidered converses. Comfy and totally rockin'!

More Celebrity Weddings This Summ

Not that I am a huge Hilary Duff fan, but you have to give this girl props for going from Disney child star to functioning member of society (no Lohan drama here.)

The 22 year star wed boyfriend of two years, NHLer Mike Comrie Saturday night in an intimate candle light ceremony in Santa Barbara. Of course Hilary donned a beautiful Vera Wang dress.

Not to get mushy, but even in these blurry images she looks like a beautiful Disney Princess.

Graffiti Wedding Proposal

We love great proposal stories, but this one tops the chart for creativity, uniqueness, and just being flat out cool. Check it out…

Staycation: "The New Budget Vacation"

Is wedding planning getting the best (and worst) of you and your fiancé? With all your finances tied up in wedding planning, a relaxing vacation is not anywhere in your crystal ball. Or is it!?! Why not try a "staycation?"

The word "staycation" is a combination of stay (meaning stay-at-home) and vacation. The term "daycation" is also sometimes used.

Benefits

Staycations do not have the stress associated with travel, such as packing, long drives, or waits at airports. It is also a great opportunity to try that new Greek restaurant downtown, visit your city's museums (haven't been to them since your second grade class trip), and to boost your local economy without breaking your budget.

Beware
As a staycationer you are close to your place of employment. Do not be tempted to go to work or stay connected. Balance these temptations by strictly adhering to rules that make the experience feel like a real get-away, such as "no checking email".

Get Started
1. Map out the dates and time of your vacation. For example: Friday at 4:30 you are officially staycating!
2. Make your Rule List. For Example: No more emails or facebooking. Try no chores, too. (Yipee!)
3. Plan your activities. You risk not doing anything new if you don't plan your day trips.
4. Take Pictures! You are on staycation after all. Document all your fun!
