  • Bride and Groom First Dance Wedding Portrait | Bradenton Event Venue The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature | DJ Graingertainment

    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.

  • “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.

    – Katie and Sam |
  • Someone who would play our music and keep the party going, and DJ Gary of Graingertainment did just that!

    – Alyssa and Mike |
  • 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! We knew DJ Dylan from Graingertainment from the past and always knew that we wanted him to be a part of our day. We felt comfortable with him and knew he understood our vision! We wanted someone who was lively and able to get everyone on the dance floor. DJ Dylan was knowledgeable of today’s top hits as well as throwbacks. 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!

    – Jessica and Ryne |
  • The reception was so so so us. We had amazing and hilarious entrances from our groom and bridal party. There were people completely lined up down the pier and on the incline at the pier, watching us dance and have a good time. At one point, Sam put me on his shoulders, and everyone was just dancing and laughing, and I could see everything from being so high up!

    I wanted someone who respected our vision and knew how to keep the people going. DJ Gary was witty, funny, let me have the mic whenever I wanted, and just overall killed it. Graingertainment was amazing!

    – Bella and Sam |
  • A DJ was one of the most important vendors for us because we wanted a party to remember. We chose Graingertainment because of their awesome reviews and because we felt like they knew how to throw a good party and listen to our vision. Graingertainment really made the night memorable as Austin and I never left the dance floor the entire night.

    – Emily and Austin |
  • “One thing we were sure of, we wanted our wedding to be a really fun party. The music, food, and drink were very important to us. We wanted everyone to have a blast, since we love to dance and have a good time. We chose Graingertainment due to the great reviews online, and after meeting with Chris, we felt confident that he would do a great job to keep the tempo up, and he did not disappoint. My 92-year-old grandmother even got up for a dance!”

    – Caroline and Matt |
  • “The biggest thing we looked for was a DJ who liked to have fun, was truly professional and who realized that we just really wanted a celebration without having the spotlight solely on the bride. We had such a variety of ages, ethnicities, and cultures, so it was imperative that everyone found something they liked and were comfortable. I picked Graingertainment after many high and raving recommendations and reviews. They seemed like the perfect fit, especially after being able to speak to the DJ prior to our wedding day. They did an amazing job, and we would hire them again for any special occasion that called for a live DJ!”

    – Jenny and Grayson |
  • “Chris was a fantastic DJ, professional and honest! We let him have a lot of freedom with most of the song selection, and he came through with great dinner music, as well as a party playlist. Everyone was happy with him, from the dancing crowd to the couples who just wanted to have a conversation. He brought the party as promised! It was the best day ever!”

    – Megan and Matthew |
  • “We were looking for a company that could provide a wide variety of services and still produce a great production. We originally heard of Graingertainment through Marry Me Tampa Bay, and they did not disappoint! They really listened to what we wanted for our reception, and their service was exceptional. They kept the party going all night!”

    – Tiffany and George |
  • “We read a lot of reviews for DJs before booking one. Graingertainment was really great. The DJ played all different kinds of music so there was a little something for everyone. Everyone loved him and complemented what a great selection there was!”

    – Alyssa and Tim |
  • “I stumbled upon Graingertainment while browsing online, and they had five stars across the board. From the ceremony to the reception, Our DJ, Anthony was amazing! Tyler and I definitely busted out some of our best moves as we walked down the aisle after being pronounced Mr. and Mrs. We love to dance! The night was extra special and all of our guests had so much fun!”

    – Katie and Tyler |
  • “Graingertainment gave us an amazing deal that fit within our budget, and Chris’ personality meshed very well with ours. Chris had literally everyone on their feet from start to end. A few people have reached out asking who our DJ was so they could look into booking him. Overall fantastic!”

    – Brittany and Brian |
  • “I hired Chris with Graingertainment after a phone interview where he told me, that ‘I was the boss,’ and he wanted our day to be everything we wanted and more. He did a great job of seamlessly combining the many genres of music we like together. Months after the wedding, people still tell us how fun the DJ was! Another huge benefit of Graingertainment was the photo booth rental, which was a necessity for us! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ, Chris did an amazing job!”

    – Elizabeth and Shawn |
  • “We were really looking for someone who could read a crowd and keep the dance floor alive. After reading through all of the reviews on Graingertainment, we knew they were our number one choice. We loved their easy-to-use online portal to request songs, make a playlist, and fill out a questionnaire. Dylan, our DJ, was amazing. He kept our reception events on time and kept everyone on the dance floor. It was as if he had looked over our Spotify playlists and created our reception music from that. He knew exactly what we liked and kept everyone happy!”
