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.

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.

“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!”

“We wanted a DJ who had great reviews, knew the venue, and could do dancing on a cloud with cold sparklers. Adam and Trey from Grant Hemond & Associates were absolutely amazing! Adam kept the dance floor full all night and played music for every age group. Our guests are still talking about the music.
Trey did our dancing on the cloud and cold sparklers, and they were perfect! It was such a surprise for our guest, and photographed beautifully!”

“We looked for someone with a reputation of getting people on the dance floor. We hired Grant Hemond & Associates because of their reputation and were not let down by their service.”

“When it came to music, we ditched the typical top 100 wedding playlist and curated a soundtrack that felt like the inside of our living room: Taylor bops, old-school reggae grooves, chill lo-fi vibes, rolling into late-night house tracks. We still listen to that playlist around the house, and it zaps us right back to the dance floor every time.
We were looking for someone who could read the room and keep the energy flowing, while still reflecting our taste in music, from Taylor Swift to old-school reggae. Our DJ managed to blend our styles perfectly and keep the party going all night! Jason was an absolute blast to work with! He kept the energy high and the party going all night, while also ensuring the intimate moments were special and memorable. He is a truly caring person and a kind soul who wants to make sure everyone is having a good time!”

“We wanted a wedding DJ who was high-energy, would listen to our music suggestions, and keep the dance floor packed all night.
DJ Jason Tally of Grant Hemond & Associates was highly recommended to us by our planner. From the first phone call, we could tell by his warm and energetic personality that he was exactly what we were looking for in our wedding DJ!”
