An Ann Arbor Wedding DJ
Who Makes It Yours
A2 couples want a wedding that feels like them — not a template. I'm DJ SKAN — for over ten years I've read rooms full of students, professors, tech folks and out-of-town guests and kept every one of them dancing. Curated sound, real personality, zero cheese.
Your Ann Arbor wedding,
built around your taste
Couples in Ann Arbor tend to know good music — and they can spot a canned wedding set from across the room. You want indie next to Motown, a global track next to a current banger, a Zingerman's-caliber attention to detail. As your Ann Arbor wedding DJ and Master of Ceremony, my job is to translate your taste into a night that flows: reading the floor, honoring your do-not-play list, and keeping the energy climbing without ever tipping into corny. This is a college town with cosmopolitan ears, and I mix for it.
When you book me, you get me — the same person on our first planning call and the same person behind the booth at Cobblestone Farm. I only take one wedding per date, so nothing about your night competes for my attention. Substance over sales gloss, every time.
The Ann Arbor venues
I love to play
Ann Arbor hides a remarkable range of rooms inside a walkable, eclectic footprint. Cobblestone Farm is a historic favorite — a barn-and-grounds setting that wants a full, outdoor-ready PA and lighting that flatters the space after sunset. Downtown along Main Street and up in Kerrytown, the loft, gallery and restaurant rooms make for intimate, design-forward receptions where the sound has to fill the floor without swallowing the conversation.
Head into the surrounding Washtenaw County countryside and you find the wineries and barn venues that A2 couples adore — big skies, string lights, and long load-ins that reward a DJ who scouts ahead. On campus, the Michigan Union and University of Michigan spaces bring their own charm and their own power and sound rules. Whatever room you choose, I walk it with you beforehand — power, sightlines, load-in on the Huron River side of town — so setup is invisible and the night simply unfolds.
Every part of your day, covered
Vows every
guest can hear
So many A2 weddings draw guests in from out of town, and this is the moment they traveled for — so the sound has to be flawless. I set discreet speakers and wireless mics so your vows carry to the back row without a crackle, whether you're under the trees at Cobblestone Farm or in a winery clearing off Huron River Drive. I cue your processional, your first kiss and your walk back up the aisle right on the beat, so every moment lands exactly as you pictured it.
The right mood
while you slip away
While you're off with your photographer and guests are catching up over a local pour, the soundtrack still matters — maybe more here than anywhere. I keep it curated and easy: warm indie, a little global flavor, tasteful classics and current picks that feel handpicked rather than generic. It's the bridge between your ceremony and the party, and it keeps the whole room feeling like you right up to your grand entrance.
A full floor,
never a hokey one
Here's where an Ann Arbor crowd tests a DJ: this room knows music, spans generations, and has zero patience for gimmicks. I handle your grand entrance, first dance, toasts and cake cutting with clean, confident mic work — then I open the floor and keep it packed. Your must-plays get played, your do-not-plays never happen, and the mix moves from indie to Motown to a global anthem to whatever's hot right now, so students and grandparents stay out there together. That's the night A2 talks about later.
Versatile, dependable,
and genuinely yours
In a town where couples read the reviews and trust their own ears, I win the way that lasts — one well-run wedding at a time.
You get me, the owner
No roster, no bait-and-switch. The DJ you plan with is the DJ behind the booth — the person you can hand the whole night to.
One wedding per date
I never double-book. Your date is mine alone, which means unhurried load-in at your venue, backup gear on hand, and full focus start to finish.
Genuinely versatile
Indie, global, Motown, hip-hop, house, current — I mix across it fluently and personalize to your taste, so the set reads curated, never canned.
Cool, not cheesy
Strong MC work without the tired bits. I keep the room warm and moving with real personality, so the vibe stays as smart as your guests.

Add uplighting and
watch the room glow
Want the “wow” the moment guests walk in? Uplighting turns a bare barn or loft into your room — and in a design-minded A2 space, the right color wash is what makes the photos look intentional. Pick a scheme that plays off your florals and the Cobblestone Farm timber or a downtown gallery wall. Starting at $399, it's the easiest add-on with the biggest payoff.

Ann Arbor wedding DJ FAQ
Do you travel to Ann Arbor weddings?
Absolutely. I'm a Detroit-based wedding DJ and Ann Arbor is a regular run for me — it's only about 40 minutes west on I-94, so there's no long-distance surcharge for weddings in and around A2. I cover downtown Main Street, Kerrytown, the University of Michigan area, and the wineries and barn venues out in Washtenaw County.
Have you played Cobblestone Farm and other Ann Arbor venues?
I've worked historic, barn, winery, downtown and campus rooms all over the Ann Arbor area. Before your date I confirm the specifics of your exact venue — load-in, power, outdoor sound needs and layout — and coordinate with the on-site team so my setup is invisible and everything runs on time.
Can you actually mix indie, global and current music, not just the usual wedding list?
That's exactly what A2 couples hire me for. I read as curated and versatile: indie, Motown, hip-hop, house, global tracks and current hits, personalized to your taste and your do-not-play list. The set feels handpicked, and the floor stays full across every generation in the room.
Are you the DJ who actually shows up on the day?
Always. I'm an owner-operator, not an agency — the person you plan with is the person behind the booth. I only take one wedding per date, so your night gets my full focus from load-in to the last song.
Do you MC too, without the cheesy bits?
Yes. I'm your DJ and your Master of Ceremony, and I run the mic with real personality but none of the tired gimmicks. I handle your grand entrance, toasts, dances and cake cutting cleanly, and keep the timeline flowing so you can be present with your guests.
How far ahead should I book?
Prime Ann Arbor dates — especially Saturdays from May through October, plus football and graduation weekends — book up fast, often a year or more out. If your date matters, reach out early so I can hold it before someone else does.
