Mike Staff Productions donates wedding DJ service to military couples

SOUTHEAST, Michigan  - - June 15, 2011.   

First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden have launched a national initiative to support and honor America’s service members and their families, and Michigan businesses, spurred by the Royal Oak Music Theatre, are answering the call. The theater is giving back to some of our military this Veterans Day by hosting a FREE wedding and reception for military couples. Dubbed A Call To Wed, 11 lucky, recently-engaged military couples (active duty or veterans), will have the opportunity to marry at the Royal Oak Music Theatre on 11/11/11.

The theater is now accepting submissions from interested couples through Friday, July 1, 2011 and winning couples will be notified by Friday, July 8. Submission guidelines for couples interested in being selected as one of the lucky wedding couples for the Royal Oak Music Theatre’s A Call To Wed are: 

• The bride- or groom-to-be must have military status – active duty or a veteran. Please include military status, years of service, military branch. Disabled Veterans are encouraged to apply as well
• Names, hometowns and contact information of bride- and groom-to-be 
• Submit a letter that is no longer than 1,500 words about their relationship and why they want to be married on Veteran’s Day by Friday, July 1 to the Royal Oak Music Theatre via mail (318 W. Fourth Street, Royal Oak, MI 48067 Attn. Jessica Miller) or via e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The multi-nuptial event will provide the 11 selected couples an evening to remember as they are married in a group setting in the historic Royal Oak Music Theatre. After the ceremony each couple along with 30 of their invited guests will be treated to a reception in the theater’s main auditorium featuring a full dinner, drinks and dancing.

The Royal Oak Music Theatre, which is donating the venue for the evening (along with providing all production, house, and bar staff), has enlisted the assistance of many generous local business sponsors to make the wedding extra special for the couples, including free valet parking for guests courtesy of Extravagante Valet, DJ / music provided by Mike Staff Productions, event décor by Colonial Event Rentals and photography by Steve Kaufman Photography.

To continue the celebration and VIP treatment, the theater is also collaborating with Kurt Miller, producer and director of more than 20 Warren Miller Ski and Snowboard films. The premiere for Miller’s documentary, The Movement, will be held the following evening (11/12/11) at the theater and all of the newly married couples are invited to be Miller’s special guests.

A Call To Wed still has opportunities available for businesses interested in donating their services for the military wedding. The Royal Oak Music Theatre is located at 318 W. Fourth Street in downtown Royal Oak. Businesses interested in getting involved are advised to email Jessica Miller This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
