What We Offer

DJ & MC Services: Full-time professional DJs and MCs for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, including battery-powered ceremony sound systems. Two of our DJs are bilingual and comfortable emceeing your announcements, introductions, and toasts in both Spanish and English.

Lighting: Wireless LED uplighting that can hold one color, fade through colors, or beat in time with the music; custom GOBO monograms designed with you or from your own artwork; pinspots to highlight your cake; and intelligent dance floor lighting.

Photo Booth & 360 Photo Booth: Clean, modern open-air photo booths with a flattering halo ring flash, on-site printing with custom templates, GIFs, boomerangs, digital props, and text/email sharing, plus a certified attendant and an online gallery after your wedding. Our 360 Photo Booth captures slow-motion video your guests will share all night.

Sparkler Fountains: USA-made Sparktacular FX machines run by trained operators for your first kiss, first dance, grand entrance, or grand exit. We coordinate with your venue on fire suppression and permits so the effect is safe and stress-free.

We Love Weddings Because…

Every couple has a unique vision for their reception: the musical tastes, the level of interaction with guests, and the overall feel, whether it’s classy and elegant or wild and crazy. We love finding out your goals and then doing whatever it takes to make them happen.

Our disc jockeys are full-time; this is not a sideline, hobby, or part-time job. Your DJ is a dedicated professional who entertains at over 150 events each year, and our full-time office staff is at your service Monday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm.

Our Wedding Style

All of the disc jockeys and office staff at Grant Hemond & Associates use their knowledge and expertise to make your event everything you dreamed it would be, and we do so with genuine enthusiasm, respect, and a strong desire to please. We pride ourselves on personalizing your wedding to what you think your guests will enjoy. Basically, your wish is our command.

Our DJs do more than just play music. They offer advice on reception flow and act as a liaison with your caterer, photographer, coordinator, and other vendors so your timeline runs smoothly.

What Makes Our Business Stand Out

We have been entertaining Tampa Bay weddings for over 40 years, and our DJs are full-time professionals, not weekend hobbyists. Our associates always conduct themselves professionally: we will not eat, drink, smoke, bring friends, or “party” at your event. We are fully licensed and insured and are trusted by venues like The Ritz-Carlton, The Don CeSar, and Hilton Clearwater Beach, as well as corporate clients including Raymond James, Publix, and JPMorgan Chase.

Our focus is on customer satisfaction. We’re not a DJ company that brags about our own accomplishments; our customers, clients, and fellow business associates have always been kind enough to do that for us. We would be honored to work for you, and we guarantee that you will experience the same satisfaction.

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.

  • We wanted a DJ who could read the room, keep the energy going, and make sure our guests were dancing and having fun. We also wanted someone who would listen to our preferences and understand the overall vibe we wanted rather than simply playing a standard wedding playlist. Having someone who could also keep the reception flowing and make announcements professionally was very important to us.

    We chose Grant Hemond and Associates because of their reputation and recommendations from our wedding planning team. We wanted a DJ who was experienced, professional, and capable of keeping a wide range of guests entertained throughout the night.

    Grant Hemond and Associates did an amazing job. Our DJ, James King, understood the type of music and atmosphere we wanted and kept the dance floor full throughout the reception. He also helped keep the evening flowing smoothly, which allowed us to focus on enjoying ourselves and celebrating with our guests.

  • We wanted a wedding DJ who would help create a fun atmosphere and keep people dancing and enjoying themselves!

    We chose Grant Hemond and Associates since they came highly recommended by our planner and also because they were very responsive and easy to work with. We had Jason Tally as our DJ, and he was phenomenal! He is such a positive person and went above and beyond in making sure our guests and I had a blast!

    – Kayla and Roman |
  • We looked for someone who was very outgoing and who would get people on the dance floor. We also wanted someone who knew how to mix music and who was open to playing different genres.

    We chose Grant Hemond and Associates because they matched us with a DJ based on what we wanted! We were instantly drawn to his personality. Their service was outstanding, and they were a great budget-friendly option.

    – Emily and David |
  • When choosing a DJ, we wanted someone who understood how to engage guests of all ages and could create a playlist that appealed to everyone, and Grant Hemond and Associates met all of our requirements.

    They were incredibly responsive and made the entire process seamless. We’ve had several guests comment on how great the music was and how much they enjoyed the song selection.

    – Ashley and Brian |
  • I let my husband take the reins on finding the DJ he preferred. We had two calls with DJs from Grant Hemond and Associates, and we hit it off with DJ James King. With his extensive experience in the music industry and his familiarity with the kind of music we enjoy, it was a no-brainer to go with him.

    DJ James did a great job keeping the energy high and playing plenty of throwback songs. He also did a wonderful job making sure our do-not-play list was honored. I definitely recommend Grant Hemond and Associates.

    – Nina and Mike |
  • “My husband and I have completely opposite music tastes; he loves The Beatles and music from the 70s, and I love Taylor Swift and music from the Disney Channel! So for us it was essential that our DJ could blend the two vibes – a difficult task for sure! Grant Hemond & Associates was recommended to us from several different people, both vendors and family and friends, and they were also at a really great price point.

    The whole team exceeded absolutely every expectation. Jason Tally was our DJ, and he was incredible. People of all ages were dancing all night and our friends still tell us how fun our wedding was. On the day of the wedding, we sprang the idea on Jason of throwing t-shirts to our guests, and he totally went with it and orchestrated the moment so well. If you want people to have a good time, throw t-shirts! We were so impressed, and my sister just booked him for her October wedding!”

    – Megan and Ian |
