What We Offer
Not only is our team trained wedding and event DJs/Emcees, we also offer live entertainment, special effects, AV, and lighting services! We always recommend you ask us if something is possible since more than likely we can dream it up, design, and execute it for you!
DJ & Emcee Services: Live mixing DJs and polished emcees for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We pair you with the DJ on our team whose style and values match yours. We also have Spanish-, Russian-, and Arabic-speaking DJs who can emcee your announcements, introductions, and toasts in both languages.
Live Entertainment & Fusion Sets: Solo vocalist-guitarists, duos, trios, and quartets for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions. Our fusion sets pair a DJ with live saxophone, drums, Latin percussion (bongos and congas), or guitar for the energy of a live band with the range of a DJ. Anything larger than a quartet we happily refer out to a trusted partner.
Silent Disco: Up to three channels of music streamed to guests’ wireless headphones, perfect for venues with sound ordinances or a late-night after-party.
Lighting & Special Effects: Astera tube lighting, market lighting, uplights, monogram and gobo projections, cold sparkler fountains (the West Coast of Florida’s largest inventory, NFPA 1126 compliant), dancing on a cloud, CO2 guns, and confetti shots.
Photo Booths & Extras: Photo booth experiences, designer DJ booths (Cory designs and builds most of them himself), custom mixes and recording sessions, and full AV and sound production.
Our Personality
You know that question in every job interview that goes “what are three words your friends would describe you as” and you are supposed to pick the perfect 3? That’s what this feels like, but we promise if you have a discussion with any of our team members, you will get the strong sense of individuality. We pride ourselves on a fun and easy-going personality, while also showcasing our eccentric vibes. Not only do we know each couple is not the same, so no wedding can be the same, we as individual DJs are unique and love that we get to share that with each of our couples.
Ever wonder how our company pairs you with a DJ from our team? We take your unique wants and pair them with a DJ from our team who values the same things as you do in your wedding!
What Inspired Us to Start Our Business
DJ Cory Barron – Do I write in third person or first… I never know with this sort of thing – has been in the DJ industry since 2007 and 10 years later he was ready to branch out and start his own company, DJ Cory Barron & Co (If you have ever Googled us, you might have stumbled upon an old logo or two… Remember the internet is forever). He wanted to bring a more modern and cutting edge vibe to the Tampa market, and knew he was the guy who could do just that.
A cool tidbit about us is we are really one big group of friends who get to work together. Cory brought on his friends he had made in the DJing industry to join him and those DJs brought on their friends, so on and so forth. It’s a really cool way of experiencing a “small world” but in real life!
In 2020, we decided to rebrand to what you know and love, The Tampa Bay DJ Company and have been going steady since!
What Makes Our Business Stand Out
We are one big group of friends who happen to be some of the most sought-after DJs in Florida, and we match you with the one who fits your wedding best. Our team includes Ivan Torres, our bilingual (English/Spanish) DJ/MC and operations manager; Robert Araya, who leads our fusion DJ department and has 11+ years behind the decks; Sarah Mobley, a music technology and production graduate who has supported touring artists like Halsey and Dave Matthews Band; Chris Emanski, a second-generation DJ and two-time Best Club DJ winner; and Grant Lee, our live performance DJ who speaks English and Russian. Every DJ is trained in wedding etiquette, and our special effects team is trained and certified.
You also won’t find many DJ companies offering live musicians, fusion DJ sets, silent disco, and Tampa Bay’s largest cold sparkler inventory under one roof. If you can dream it up, we can design and execute it.

Oh yea… The [quite literal] money question…We offer a variety of packages, but because we try to be as individualistic as we can be for each and every event, we don’t have a set price we can share with you. What we can tell you is that you should plan to budget anywhere from $1500 – $2400 for an associate DJ, and around $4,000 – $5,000 for DJ Cory Barron, himself.
When in doubt, reach out! We want to work with our couples and help them have the perfect day within their budget!

What a treat… An “About Me” but not about the business. You’ll get to know me and my office team in this section. You didn’t think I wouldn’t introduce you to who you would talk to first when you reach out now would you?
About Our Owner/Founder, Cory:
I have a wonderful wife and 3 golden retrievers at home. You might catch me playing golf with other wedding pros, cracking a joke to get everyone to smile, or building another DJ booth for our collection (that’s right… I design and build most of them). I love being part of my community and often times am lending a hand to whoever needs it! Did I mention I am growing my tattoo repertoire?
About Our COO, Miriam:
I’m a mom to a beautiful girlie (actual terminology) and two dogs, a boxer mix and a dachshund mix. I also have a husband who I met while I was attending USF – Go Bulls! When I’m not working you can find me reading, writing, or planning my next apartment craft/project (hello fabric wallpaper)! A fun fact about me: I got two degrees in sociology, so you can say I love learning how people work and putting myself in other peoples shoes! Also, you’ll get to know I love a good “exclamation point”!!
About Our Administrative Coordinator, Dawn:
I am a mom to two children, a son and daughter, and love spending time relaxing out and about. From an occasional Universal Studios trip to our local restaurant hangout, you can find me with my family and friends having a good laugh! Something you won’t know about me? I have actually known Cory for as long as he has been DJing.
Non-wedding Passions:
I’m (Cory) all about traveling and finding my next adventure. Miriam is all about finding the perfect cup of coffee, and Dawn loves a good theme park!
We are all serious family people and serious animal lovers, so please… Ask us about our pets!

Reviews from Marry Me Tampa Bay Couples
Marry Me Tampa Bay curates the below reviews from real couples whom we’ve personally interviewed. As Tampa Bay’s most trusted wedding planning resource, these reviews are 100% accurate and aren’t created by fake accounts.

“Having a DJ who knows how to read the room and play just the right song to keep the party going can be hard to find. I can’t even count how many times Tampa Bay DJ Company was recommended to me throughout the planning process, and now, after using their services, I can understand why. The team at Tampa Bay DJ Company sent us over a questionnaire a few weeks before our wedding, outlining the important songs that we would need to think about prior to the big day. I am so glad they did this, and with ample time before the wedding, as it allowed us to set aside some time and think about what would be special to hear on the wedding day.”
“Cory was our DJ and I cannot say enough great things about him! He went through our questionnaire with us prior to the wedding and had some very helpful tips and tricks that I never would have thought of otherwise. The sound quality in both our indoor and outdoor spaces was amazing, which is key when planning an event in multiple spaces. Cory also set up uplighting throughout our reception space, which made it even more beautiful.”
“Stephen and I have been country line dancing together for a couple of years, with Stephen dancing back home with his friends for 10+ years, so we wanted to have a few songs where we could line dance together, which Cory was happy to play for us. It was an unexpected surprise when most of our guests came to the floor to try and learn along with us; it’s one of the memories we reminisce about most together.”
– Shelby and Stephen |

“After explaining to our wedding planner the type of music we liked, lots of hip hop, new covers of oldies, rap, she suggested Tampa Bay DJ Company.
We had our call with DJ Cory Baron, and he was the man for the job. He was all about curating our evening, and that’s exactly what we did. We added the live instruments to make it a live fusion. This really brought the energy to the evening.”
– Brooke and Rhyse |

“We wanted a DJ/band fusion, someone creative, who loved music, and understood that we wanted more than the wedding classics to be played. Parties A La Carte highly recommended Tampa Bay DJ Company.
We incorporated a Polish song/dance tradition that has been a part of both of our families for years. The entire night was incredible.”
– Ella and Eric |
-
“We wanted a nonstop party—an energetic atmosphere with great music and a packed dance floor. We looked for a DJ who understood our style and could create that experience.
Cory Barron from Tampa Bay DJ Company exceeded every expectation. He immediately understood our vision, customised his setup to match our aesthetic, and kept the energy high all night long. Our guests still rave about him!”
– Caitlin and Matt |

“We wanted someone who would get the crowd going. We wanted a chill vibe and a dance party. I have known Cory Barron since moving to Tampa, and I did not even consider another DJ.
My absolute favorite part is that Cory told me the next day that it had been years since he had to take his suit jacket off behind the DJ booth. He said that was a sign of a great party.”
– Stef and Justin |

“We worked with Tampa Bay DJ Company for our cold sparklers, and their service was great. We wanted a fun, celebratory moment during our first dance, and the sparklers added just that.
Their team was professional, organized, and executed everything flawlessly. It added a memorable wow factor to the night, and we are so glad we included it.”
– Ashlyn and Rhett |
