We had the band Drop 35 play our wedding. We originally saw them on someone else's wedding video and were determined to track them down. We planned our wedding from 800 miles away, so one weekend when we were home we tracked them down at a bar in Richland and felt they would be perfect for our wedding.We contacted Kurt and the whole process was smooth with booking the band. They were also able to do our uplight (which looked AMAZING) for a steal compared to some of the other price quotes I received. Emily was our contact with the band and thru a series of emails and phone calls, we felt comfortable for the big day. The band was phenomenal. Friends, family, and venue staff complimented us on how great the band was. We could not be happier.

We contacted Wiser Productions specifically to book Craig Cunningham as our DJ because he did my cousins wedding last year and she was very happy with the service. Craig not only guided us successfully through our reception he MADE the evening incredible for us. Even though we had already saw him perform at our cousins wedding he was able to customize our reception, so it didn't feel like it was the same event. He met with us in person to discuss the details and then followed up by phone and email. He made us feel very confident going into the event and then delivered above and beyond on the day of the event. Thanks so much Craig!!!!

We had Guy Voss DJ our wedding and he did an amazing job! The music was perfect for our outdoor ceremony! He timed everything to blend together, fading in from one song to the next- it was flawless! The volume of the microphone for our minister and our reader was perfect, especially considering it was a windy autumn day outside. Our music for our reception was exactly what we had envisioned and more- it created the perfect atmosphere and ambience of our special day! Guy is so experienced, professional and organized. He is truly the best!

Andy was great! He had every song that we wanted played and everyone was extremely happy. We didn't want a flashy over the top, gaudy DJ and Andy met our expectations. He let us be the focus not him. Thank you Andy! You did a WONDERFUL job!

We were so lucky that our venue suggested Guy Voss of Wiser Productions to DJ our wedding. Guy is doubtlessly the best wedding DJ in southwest Michigan. He was genuine and fun, not at all cheesy. He was also a great MC through toasts and dinner and then got everyone on the dance floor. He was definitely in tune with the music we liked (he had us fill out a profile beforehand) and in tune with what our guests were responding to. Our dance floor was packed all night, and we heard he even stayed after we left because everyone was having so much fun!

Randy was the DJ for our wedding and he did a really great job at the reception! The only thing was that it was a bit difficult to get a hold of him and therefore only discussed some of the details of the ceremony music the day of. Overall, we were happy with the results and would have recommended this company to other couples.

I am so happy that I chose Wiser Productions for my wedding reception music. I booked with Monte J. and he was amazing! He exceeded our expectations in every area of the reception. He met with my husband and I a couple of times and had a few phone conversations. He made us both feel very comfortable leaving our wedding fun in his hands. He played all the right songs at the right time. He know how to keep the dance floor full all night long. I saw some family members dance that night that I have never seen dance before. He played all of our special songs at perfect times. I felt that he got a good grasp of the type of people we were and the type of music we like. I'm 100% pleased with the great job that Monte did. If I could do it again I would do it all the same!

Having been to weddings where DJ's from Wiser Productions were at I thought I had found the perfect DJ service. The DJ that I wanted was Jim Platt however was booked for our wedding date so I ask them to recommend someone that was similar to Jim. Craig Cunningham was recommended. He called and seemed amazing, however when he got there he would not play requests from my guests. I had to go up w/ everyone's requests. He also acted annoyed the entire time he was there- I have multiple pictures and a video showing this. He even threatened to leave if people didn't stop bothering him. The DJ makes the wedding and I was very upset I had spent that money on him and he treated my guests with such disrespect. Wiser has some amazing DJ’s but do not hire Craig Cunningham.

INCREDIBLE!!! We used Scott Herriman. Best DJ I've ever seen. Our dance floor never stopped. With him you get more than just music, you get a night to remember. I highly recommend him!!

I booked Rich Burkholder for my wedding and was extremely dissapointed. Not only did he play our first dance song like 5 times before we actually danced to it, but he didn't have some very popular country songs which upset a lot of people. He also had an assistant with him that did almost all the talking, I later wound up with a bill from our reception venue for over $200 that was for food and alcohol. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone, and I had a lot of very dissapointed guest.

Monte Janssen is the DJ you want if you want the best ceremony and reception ever! Monte works very well with his clients to ensure that your ceremony and reception go as smoothly as possible. Our wedding was absolutely amazing! Monte kept the crowd interested without being corny. When it was time to go our dance floor was so packed I don't think our guest wanted to leave! And that's the kind of memory you want!

Montage played at our barn wedding reception and really rocked the roof off. From the very beginning when I spoke with Kurt on the phone I knew he was going to provide excellent entertainment for our casual wedding. They are very reasonably priced and travelled without any additional charge. He worked with me to get the sound system running inside and out--it worked flawlessly. From the first dance to the last dance, the dance floor was PACKED and i mean that sincerely. The whole night and afterwards people were raving about the band. The time in between songs is literally non-existant. I dont know where they find the energy, but they really read the crowd and knew that we were ready to dance to fast songs as opposed to the slower ones. My favorite part of possibly my whole wedding reception was my cowbell solo--I can't thank them enough for giving me center stage and letting me feel like a rockstar bride. Everything was very personal! My dad, who loves live music, especially oldies, was having a blast. It was so great to see them appealing to all generations present with songs like "run around sue", "brown eyed girl", "brick house", and "sexy back". Would recommend these folks to anyone!

We were very pleased with both the DJ and the owner of the service that booked him. Guy Voss was our DJ and we was very professional, at ease and kept the party going.

Our DJ, Jim Platt, was awesome!!! The whole night flowed beautifully...he is definitely a pro at this! We had people on the dance the entire night and if the reception would have lasted another hour, people still would have been dancing. I would HIGHLY recommend him!

Craig Cunninham was the DJ from Wiser Productions for our wedding and he was amazing! He's not one of those in-your-face DJ's that are all to common at weddings. He kept the night moving and kept the dance floor packed. Craig also did my ceremony & cocktail hour music as well. He was extremely professional but you could tell he was having fun as well. I highly recommend Craig from Wiser Productions!

If there is one thing that we would change about our wedding day, it would be the DJ. Our DJ was Ken MacLeod and I would not recommend him. I don't know if there was a communication issue since all of our consultations were over the phone, but the music was not what we had hoped for. Each time we talked over the phone, I felt confident and had no worries that the day wouldn't go as planned. We discussed music types and styles. The day of the wedding, Ken seemed almost unaware that we had even discussed certain things. Minutes before the ceremony, my husband [the groom] had to walk him through the details of the ceremony. The reception went the same way - no direct understanding of the wedding party, first dance, speeches, etc. Luckily our guests didn't notice a thing and danced the night away. I feel very sad that I have to write such a review, since Ken is such a nice person, but a wedding only happens once and I would hate for another bride/groom to feel this way.

My DJ from Wiser Productions was Monte Janssen. We really enjoyed Monte at our reception. He has the experience to keep the reception fun and moving along. He will get a feel for the crowd to decide what music to play. He was energetic without being too crazy. It is my understanding that he is usually the DJ for the New Year's Eve party at the Radisson in Kalamazoo. Though he is one of the more expensive DJ's at Wiser, I would definitely recommend him.

We had Jim Platt for our Wedding D.J. and WOW, can he have fun. He made our reception :-) If you go with Jim, and I hope you do, definitely request him to play Tequilia and do the PeeWee Herman Dance!! haha!! Jim was extremely prepared for our final consultation, and always had great ideas for songs. I 100% recommend Jim.

Andy Carlson dj'd my cousins' wedding and it was the first wedding I danced at- he really was good at reading the crowd and playing what kept them dancing. So I knew I'd go through him when I got married. We wanted specifically Beatles music during the dinner, which he did. He let us pick what we wanted/didn't want for dancing. He was very responsive to our wants and easy to communicate with via email or phone.Professional and fun. He's kind of a goofy guy but he'll make your event fun.
