We worked with Rafa Santiago from Grant Hemond & Associates, who was our DJ, and he was exceptional. Rafa understood flow and timing perfectly. He knew when to build anticipation, when to shift the energy, and how to keep the dance floor full without overpowering the moment.

On the day of the wedding, that confidence translated seamlessly. The pacing of the evening was flawless. He read the room beautifully and kept the dance floor full without ever overpowering the experience. Grant Hemond & Associates, as a company, was organized, responsive, and polished throughout the process. After one meeting, we knew we were in the right hands — and they absolutely delivered.

Music was extremely important for our wedding. I grew up a dancer, and both Tyler and I love going to live music concerts. For us, music equals energy and sets the vibe for the entire night. It was really important to me that there be a buildup throughout the event. I needed someone who understood our vision while remaining flexible and professional.

I needed a DJ who could meet my high expectations, and Ben Daniel from Grant Hemond & Associates was the guy for the job! From our first call, Ben embraced my crazy Excel spreadsheet, which basically outlined a playlist for the entire night from start to finish. He understood the assignment of throwing a rave and brought so much energy.

Choosing a wedding DJ was one of the more difficult decisions for us because we love electronic dance music and wanted someone who could blend our style with songs everyone would enjoy.

Grant Hemond & Associates connected us with DJ Adam Hensleigh, and after a call to discuss our vision, he made us feel confident he could deliver. We provided him with multiple playlists for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing so he could get a sense of our taste. He exceeded our expectations. He played a great mix of classic songs remixed with dance music and had all our guests on the dance floor.

We wanted someone who was truly a professional, but would also keep our own preferences and tastes in mind. We also wanted someone with high energy and the ability to get people out of their seats and on the dance floor quickly.

We chose both Grant Hemond & Associates and our DJ, Jason Tally, because of the extremely high number of five-star reviews they had. Neither the company nor Jason disappointed; it was easy to book with them, the price was very reasonable, and Jason was incredible! He was so kind, energetic, personable, and helped the reception go very smoothly.

We were looking for an experienced DJ who would ensure our guests had a great time.

We hired Grant Hemond & Associates because we went to a previous wedding where we really enjoyed their music and how they handled the announcements and kept the party going.

We love going to music festivals and concerts together, so our personalities shined through the music and the party! All of the genres played during cocktail hour and the reception were hand selected. I can’t go a day without hearing Rufus du Sol and Fred Again so these were easy playlists to build with our DJ, Jason. We wanted our personality and character to shine through any opportunity we could. Our first dance had so much character because we choreographed it together a month before the wedding! I looked for a DJ who shared my passion for music and enjoyed the same genres we both like. I wanted a DJ who knew how to vibe with the energy of the guests, as well.

Another key aspect was ensuring our guests had an amazing time, and that meant the music was central to the event. We wanted an atmosphere where everyone could let loose, dance, and celebrate, so curating the right music was essential. The top priority for us was someone who could keep the energy high and the dance floor packed. Michael is a huge fan of Kygo, and we both love a good mix of genres, so it was important that the DJ could smoothly transition between different styles, from tropical house to classics and crowd-pleasers. Personally I’m like a can of Pringles when it comes to dancing, once I pop, I don’t stop, so we needed someone who could keep the momentum going all night for the biggest party of our lives. We were looking for a DJ who could read the crowd, maintain a fun and lively atmosphere, and create a mix that reflected our personalities and musical tastes.

Grant Hemond & Associates, and my DJ Eric in particular, are really professional, get the job done, and communicate well. He also went along with my request to have a Taylor Swift power hour, which was a real highlight for me!

Music was super important to us, and having a DJ who could mix great music while playing EDM, 80s/90s music, and top hits was crucial. We wanted our wedding to reflect us and include important parts of our lives. We wanted to make a fun entrance into the reception, so we chose a song that really hyped up the crowd and played into the grand entrance, making it truly enjoyable and reflective of us. We aimed to have fun and spend time with family, so keeping the dancing going all night was huge for us, and Jason rocked it. He did an amazing job and played the best music to keep everyone happy and on the dance floor.

Grant Hemond & Associates‘ flexibility and ability to pair us with a great DJ who knew our type of music were essential. They have so many great options for DJs, and they picked the perfect one for us. We connected with Jason right away, and he was amazing. I love that they have so many options, which made it easy. They really know what they’re doing and made the process seamless from start to finish.

We wanted a wedding DJ who would personalize the music and energy of the evening to us rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all wedding playlist.

Grant Hemond & Associates was an easy choice for us, especially since they were a preferred vendor of Legacy Lane and fit within our budget. Their service exceeded our expectations! DJ Tom spent over an hour on the phone with us before the wedding, really getting to know our style and music preferences. He even gave us some great suggestions for our reception playlist. He was punctual and professional and handled everything seamlessly, from looping songs during the ceremony to adjusting the volume for older guests. Tom kept the energy up and ensured our day flowed perfectly. We can’t recommend him and Grant Hemond & Associates enough!

We wanted a DJ who was open to playing songs that weren’t on the usual wedding playlist. We went to five weddings the year before ours and took notes of what we liked and didn’t like as guests and tried to use this to make our wedding more enjoyable. We couldn’t do one more Cupid Shuffle after our year of attending weddings! Our wedding planner recommended Grant Hemond & Associates for our DJ. After looking around, we thought they were the best value for their services, especially since they were familiar with our venue and had been there many times before.

Choosing a DJ was a very important decision for our wedding. We knew that it could make or break the reception vibes. We were looking for someone who could maintain high energy levels and limit song requests yet accurately gauge the crowd. It was essential to find a DJ who would respect our song recommendations and refrain from playing specific songs as requested.

My in-laws have used Grant Hemond & Associates many times for their past parties, so booking the DJ was actually our initial vendor decision upon getting engaged! Fortunately, we secured their services early in the planning process. The DJ was phenomenal and truly brought the energy to the reception! We received countless compliments about how enjoyable he was and how great the music was. He even incorporated some Irish songs and let my Irish cousins take over the mic in leading a group dance, so he was just such a great sport. Thanks to him, people were dancing non-stop throughout the entire night!

We hired Adam from Grant Hemond & Associates, and wow, we were impressed. We had almost two full hours of dancing the night away on a full dance floor.

We were looking for someone who was willing to DJ based on a playlist we had curated. We wanted to make sure it would be our music playing at our wedding and not just what may be trending at the time. I am French, and Matthew is Greek, so it was really important for us to incorporate tunes from both our countries into the night. Having our own dancing playing was important. We spent hours choosing and listening to songs that we knew we were going to love and dance to the night of our wedding.

We chose Grant Hemond & Associates because when they connected us with our DJ, he completely understood what we were looking for and was on board with our vision. DJ Jason was very nice and professional.

Grant Hemond also DJed Matt’s parents’ wedding back in the 90s, and we thought it was fitting for the same company to be the DJ for our wedding.

We were looking for a charismatic DJ who would get the party going but also knew the right time to keep things more chill. There were a lot of specific requests we had in regard to the music, so it was important that the DJ paid good attention to detail. We loved Grant Hemond & Associates, specifically our DJ, James.

Being the type-A person that I am, I sent him a long list of ‘do not play’ songs and a very specific list of songs that I wanted him to play for pretty much every section of the evening (dinner, reception, late-night reception). James did a great job of incorporating everything we wanted. We were also very nervous about the first dance portion of the evening because we did not practice for it at all. He told us that if we were struggling to just give him a look and he would fade out of the song early. We didn’t end up needing it, but it was great to know that he would bail us out if necessary!

We wanted good music and dancing, and my mom led the way on this one.

She had used Grant Hemond & Associates in the past and had a great experience.

Grant Hemond & Associates got so many 5-star reviews and was priced so reasonably!

We were looking for a DJ who had great reviews and who would customize the music selection for our needs.

We were thrilled to have Grant Hemond and Associates, Eric Harding specifically. He came highly recommended, and we couldn’t have been happier with him!

Grant Hemond & Associates had wonderful reviews online, and their price point was unbeatable. I knew of others who had hired them in the past and were equally impressed, so it was a no-brainer.

Our planner recommended DJ Ben Daniele, and he nailed it! It was also his birthday on the night of our wedding, which made it that much fun.
