  • The DJ was important to us because we wanted our reception to feel like a party. I love to dance, and one of my biggest priorities was having a packed dance floor all night. Music was definitely not an area where I wanted to just hand someone a playlist and hope for the best. I wanted a DJ who could understand our taste, read the room, and keep the energy going.

    We are 80s babies who grew up on 90s and early 2000s music, so we wanted someone who could mix all of that with music that would keep everyone dancing. Graingertainment came recommended by our wedding planner, but I had actually already come across them on my own while researching vendors. Then I saw an Instagram clip of the owner, Chris Grainger, mixing Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen with Ms. New Booty by Bubba Sparxxx, and I immediately thought, this is the DJ we need.

    From our first phone call, he completely understood the vibe I was going for. On the wedding night, Chris absolutely nailed it. He read the room, kept the energy up, and kept everyone dancing all night. Looking around and seeing our friends and family having an absolute blast on the dance floor was one of my favorite parts of the night.

  • We wanted someone fun but also professional—someone who could understand our style and keep the energy high all night.

    We absolutely loved Chris Grainger of Graingertainment! He was so kind, flexible, and easy to work with. Chris totally got my music preferences, even though I was pretty particular, and blended everything perfectly. The dance floor was packed all night.

    We first experienced Graingertainment at a friend’s wedding, where we had an amazing time. They had everyone on the dance floor the entire night, so it was an easy decision to hire them. They did a great job and we are very pleased with our service.

  • We wanted someone who could keep the energy up and keep our guests dancing all night long. Chris Grainger from Graingertainment was the perfect fit for us,

    Chris had everyone on the dance floor from the moment they could get on until the very last song — nobody wanted the night to end! We’ve heard from many of our guests that it was the best dance floor they’ve ever seen at a wedding. He did an amazing job with the announcements and kept everything running smoothly. The mix of music he played was perfect, and he seamlessly incorporated our requested Vietnamese songs, which made it even more personal. We also added a photo booth, uplights, and light projections, which really elevated the whole experience.

  • My husband took the lead on selecting Graingertainment as our vendor. Alec liked that they provided information about each DJ and ended up selecting Chris, the owner, as our DJ. Alec worked closely with him to describe his music taste and Chris was able to put together a great playlist for our wedding that my husband was very happy with. We found Graingertainment to be very responsive and accommodating. At the last minute, I decided to change one of our songs and add on music service for cocktail hour as well. Chris did a great job of reading our body language during our first dance and knew when to cut the song exactly on cue.

    – Rachel and Alec |
  • Chris Grainger, our DJ, was very attentive to all of our requests. When we gave him our lengthy “do not play” list, he understood and created a wedding playlist that everyone loved.

    We were blown away by the live saxophonist and live drummer. They were interactive with the crowd and added such a fun element to the wedding.

    – Courtney and Justin |
  • “We wanted someone who would keep everyone dancing all night long and be willing to play all the music we wanted.

    We chose Graingertainment because the venue recommended them, and they had perfect reviews. We knew we were getting a great DJ based on those facts alone. Graingertainment was nothing short of amazing. Chris Grainger was amazing and even gave in to all our annoying song requests.”

    – Taylor and Chris |
  • “We were looking for someone who was lively and happy. We hired Graingertainment because the team was amazing. I had many questions for the DJ, and the owner called me to handle them. He also asked detailed questions about my husband and me to make sure to pair us with the best DJ that matched our personalities.

    Graingertainment did not miss because DJ Dickie was absolutely amazing. My family and friends could not get over how well the music blended and how seamless the transitions were between Hispanic, country, Jamaican, etc. The team was amazing, and I loved the sparklers and cloud floor effect. The ease of picking songs using their website and not needing constant meetings was great because wedding planning can be exhausting.”

    – Carmen and Biko |
  • “We wanted someone upbeat, trendy, contemporary, and overall just a great vibe, since they really are the vibe-setters with the music they play! We also knew we wanted a DJ who offered rentals, since we had our hearts set on market lights over the dance floor and wanted to bundle everything together for ease.

    We met some of the Graingertainment crew at a bridal expo at Armature Works and immediately loved their whole energy. They were cool, down-to-earth, and instantly became our top choice for DJs. After checking them out online and seeing all the amazing reviews, it completely confirmed our decision. They did such a great job at our wedding, too. DJ Gary was incredible, from our pre-wedding call to go over final details all the way to the very last song. He kept the energy up, was so kind, and read the room in a way that made the music flow perfectly. He was confident and calm throughout, which made us feel like we were in great hands the entire night.”

  • When looking for music at our wedding, Evan and I were torn between having a live band and a DJ. We wanted the live element for energy, but also wanted the flexibility of choosing our own playlist. Our planner recommended Graingertainment because of their ability to provide a hybrid experience. We were able to get everything we wanted, live elements (sax, drums) with a playlist we could curate with the help of our DJ.

    Graingertainment was great to work with. Music was central to the night’s energy, and their hybrid DJ setup blended live elements with a curated playlist to keep the party going. We really wanted our wedding to have good vibes—not just for us, but for everyone who traveled to celebrate with us. The music sets the tone/vibe of a wedding, and they were so accommodating with all of our requests. DJ Dylan kept the vibes high and had a really great read on the room. He knew exactly when to switch up a song to keep the energy going and when to let things play out. Graingertainment made it easy to get everything we wanted out of our music.

    – Kourtni and Evan |
  • We wanted a DJ who was able to get everyone out of their seats and on the dance floor. Graingertainment was amazing, and all of our guests were on the dance floor the entire night. There was a perfect mix of old and new music, which allowed everyone to have the best time. We all loved the music, and we danced the night away!

    – Madeline and Peter |
  • We wanted someone to play music from all decades. It was super important to us for all guests (young and old) to have fun and be able to sing along. When I met with Chris, he had a personality just like us, and we knew right then he was the one to choose.

    – Tanya and Brian |
  • We were looking for someone with high energy who could keep the momentum going throughout the event. DJ Gary of Graingertainment was fantastic at getting everyone on the dance floor and intuitively knowing when we needed a break to catch our breath and grab some water. He truly listened to what I wanted in terms of music style and perfectly avoided songs that didn’t align with our preferences.

    I chose Graingertainment specifically because of their glowing reviews and strong recommendations, not just from other brides but also from fellow vendors. It was important to me that all the vendors worked well together and maintained a seamless flow throughout the day.

    – Ember and Nathan |
  • When looking for a wedding DJ, I wanted to find someone who was experienced, familiar with our wedding venue, and who took creative ownership to keep people on the dance floor. I hired Graingertainment because they were highly recommended and are considered the best DJ service in Polk County.

    I loved our DJ, Dylan. He worked directly with my family to set up a surprise performance during our wedding reception. I also appreciated how easy Graingertainment’s website is to navigate and the feature to upload your own playlists to ensure the music you want will be played.

    – Rachel and Joe |
  • Thomas worked on the playlist for the DJ, and we took dance lessons. We surprised everyone with a choreographed first dance.

    We found Graingertainment through Marry Me Tampa Bay. I loved their music selections and clean look. They offered live instruments along with mixing music and did a great job selecting songs and creating a diverse playlist that had everyone dancing all night.

    – Marissa and Thomas |
  • When searching for a wedding DJ, we looked for someone first with significant experience. Second, with the voice to command a crowd, without the ego to monopolize the microphone, and third, who could read our crowd and keep them on the dance floor all night long. We also liked the option to integrate live musicians with the DJ, and it was a bonus if they offered additional features such as lighting and cold sparks.

    Graingertainment made the best first impression on us in our online research, as they have an awesome digital presence and reputation in the area. Before booking, Chris kindly agreed to have a phone call with us so we could get a sense of his voice and personality. After just a minute of chatting, we were confident he was the right guy for the job.

    When it came to the big day, Chris exceeded our expectations. His music choices were spot-on, effortlessly incorporating our own recommendations. He not only had my grandma tearing up the dance floor all night but also received rave reviews from our music-savvy parents. The saxophone player and drummer were the perfect addition, bringing a touch of New Orleans to our celebration. Together with Chris, they truly brought the party to life and made our wedding day absolutely unforgettable.
