As soon as the music started, the dance floor filled up and stayed packed all night long! The set list matched our taste perfectly. The band brought a highly professional yet fun energy that kept the party going. Their musicianship was top-notch and their song selection had something for all our guests to enjoy.

Josh Staley Productions

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,999
  • Serves Portsmouth, OH

Josh Staley is a worshiper of Jesus Christ, Husband, DJ, Music Producer, Mix engineer, Editor, Radio Show Host, MC, Live Sound Technician, Guitarist, and All Around Creative Soul. A highly experienced DJ, Beat Mixologist, and Entertainer. He brings his all to every event he preforms. Josh founded JSP after a terrible experience with his own wedding DJ when he married his beautiful wife Michelle. He believes everyone deserves the absolute best on their wedding day, and Josh Staley Productions was founded to accomplish this vision.

We were SO HAPPY we chose Josh Staley Productions for our wedding! Once booked, we originally really connected with a DJ who relocated out of market in the middle of our planning process - Josh Staley swiftly informed us of the change and already had a fantastic solution in place, bumping us up to the top tier and reassigning us with one of their most premium DJs, Brian Daze - all at no additional cost or headache. The moment we met Brian, we knew this change was meant to be. While the official DJ of Ohio State and Columbus sports title really won over my wife and I as two massive sports fans, it was the type of person Brian was that truly made this such a collaborative, fun, and stress-free process. Brian is sweet, intentional, consultative, and best of all, knows how to bring the party! Our guests had so many incredible things to say about Brian after our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier to put our trust in him for a day we’ll never forget. Book Brian ASAP!!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

Born and raised in the Metro Detroit area. DJ iamchase is not just the #1 Celebrity Dj in West Michigan. He is also a Tour Dj, Record Breaker, and a Host. All while DJing Weddings, Corporate events, Concerts, and Night Clubs.

Our Dj, Terrell, did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding. He announced everything well, communicated with our wedding coordinator and the other vendors, played our requested song list, and consistently checked in on my (new!) husband and I throughout the evening to see if there was anything that he could help us with. On our song list, we noted that we didn't want any country music played (unless it was a specifically requested song), and when one of our guests asked him to play 'Cotton Eye Joe', Terrell even came up to me and asked me if it was okay because he wasn't sure if I considered that country music! Overall, we are VERY happy with terrell! My husband and I would definitely recommend to other couples who are planning a wedding!
