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!
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.
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.
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.
Thomas worked on the playlist for the DJ, and we took dance lessons. We surprised everyone with a choreographed first dance.

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.
Our reception/dance party was the most important and thought-about aspect of our day. I even switched into a fun sparkly fringe dress to let everyone know to get their dancing shoes ready!

These song selections ensured that individuals of all ages would enjoy the evening! Not only did our DJ get everyone on the dance floor, but he kept them dancing all night long!
The reception was so so so us. We had amazing and hilarious entrances from our groom and bridal party.

For the DJ, we wanted someone who knew how to keep people on the dance floor. Chris from Graingertainment was the DJ for my best friend’s wedding, so I knew he was the right fit for us! I loved their service and ease of communication, and we also used their photo booth.
Graingertainment was a vendor my sister used; I did look for other DJs just to keep an open mind, but I thought they had the best reviews, and I liked how I could pick my DJ! Dylan came into the reception area before the ceremony and played our first dance song so we could practice, and it was awesome! He did an awesome job! I provided him a list of artists that we like, and he delivered an amazing night!
Graingertainment came highly recommended by our event planner and photographers. He knew how to get the crowd dancing. He set the mood and kept everyone on the dance floor.
One thing that drew us to Graingertainment was their being from Lakeland, where Melvin is from. We felt they had great reviews and a variety of DJs and services that would be able to handle a larger wedding.
We incorporated our personalities through music! We love to dance, and our personalities shined through the music we selected from the pre-ceremony all the way to the post-dinner dance floor playlist.
