We chose Grant Hemond & Associates because we wanted a DJ who understood our music taste and would make sure that all of our families and friends were on the dance floor and having a great time.
Dj Eric’s communication and professionalism were fantastic throughout the entire process. He made the evening so fun for us and our guests!
I wanted an experienced DJ who cared about the dance floor and had a good handle on how to keep the night moving. 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!
Grant Hemond & Associates got so many 5-star reviews and was priced so reasonably!
We got tons of compliments on DJ Eric! He was the best and was receptive to what music we wanted to play for our guests. My husband likes to DJ as a hobby, and Eric let him get up there and play a few songs!
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.
We wanted someone who was going to keep guests on the dance floor all night and cater to guests of all ages.
Ben Daniele from Grant Hemond & Associates was our DJ, and he did a great job! We might be biased, but it was the best party we’ve ever been to. We wanted the day to feel like the celebration our love deserved, and it absolutely was. Several guests told us it was the most fun wedding they’d ever been to.
Being a small wedding, I really wanted a DJ who could make the intimate wedding feel like a huge party, and our DJ did just that!
We used Grant Hemond & Associates. Ben Daniele was so fun and really engaged and interacted with our guests. He played great music and kept everyone on the dance floor all night.
Grant Hemond & Associates is known as the best from everyone we talked to. They have outstanding recommendations, and now we know why. Jason was the best DJ of all time!
He loves tropical house music like us and really got our party going. We danced so hard that the floors and chandeliers were shaking.
We wanted to get and keep everyone on the dance floor the entire night. My wedding planner told us that Jason at Grant Hemond & Associates was the first choice, and he was great!
We asked our guests what songs would get them out on the dance floor and made a playlist from those songs. Jason played songs exclusively from that list without us asking him to! He had a ton of suggestions for ceremony songs and was able to give us ideas and help narrow down what we wanted.
We wanted a DJ who would understand what kind of music/vibe we were going for but who also could use their creative expertise to bring that atmosphere to life rather than just hit play on our playlist.
We ultimately went with Grant Hemond & Associates because my mom has done many weddings with them and had a lot of great things to say about them. I thought DJ James was absolutely fantastic and also very professional and kind. He was able to create a really fun and special atmosphere, and he had absolutely everybody dancing!
I’ve used Grant Hemond & Associates before working with past brides; I knew they were professional, they showed up on time, and they knew how to keep the guests engaged throughout the night. They seemed like the obvious choice for our wedding day, and they did an amazing job! Craig took the time to chat with us prior to and run through the music that we liked and didn’t like, and he offered some suggestions.
Our DJ was the first vendor we booked. I used the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach’s preferred list, and they highly recommended Grant Hemond & Associates.
When I contacted Grant Hemond, Michelle was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions and concerns. I explained that Austin and I wanted our wedding to be a fun party with all of our closest family and friends. We wanted to be out on the dance floor all night. The more we explained our vision, she said that Jason Tally would be the perfect fit. When we were telling our family friends about our DJ, their daughter had Jason Tally for their wedding! This was another sign that our wedding in Clearwater was meant to be!
I loved working with Grant Hemond & Associates because I literally gave them a playlist of all of our favorite songs. I marked them ‘must play,’ ‘play for dancing,’ ‘play when eating,’ etc.). The DJ totally got it! He even walked through a list of ‘do not play at any cost’ with us!
My sister and brother-in-law used Grant Hemond & Associates, and we loved their DJ. He had an incredible personality; I specifically remember feeling so nervous to give my Maid of Honor speech, and Ben checked in with me and gave me a quick pep talk before I took over the mic. I knew that’s exactly the kind of DJ I wanted at our wedding, and it was so great to learn that they are one of the top recommended vendors for the Vinoy.
Throughout the process, Grant Hemond & Associates was incredibly helpful, responsive, and thorough and truly made the process so easy. Leading up to the big day, as well as the day of, Ben did a wonderful job at making sure we had all that we needed. He was so kind throughout the whole evening and really got the party going. My family still jokes that now that my sister and I are married, the next big event we can hire Ben for would be our baby showers one day! We truly can’t recommend Grant Hemond enough!
We looked for a budget-friendly, reputable company; one that could customize our playlist, and a good MC for the flow of the whole night.
Grant Hemond & Associates worked with us on pricing and even included a good deal on uplighting for ambiance. There’s a reason they’re so highly recommended in the Tampa region! They were very responsive from our first inquiry through the end of the night. James King was our DJ, and he was so fun and even played some songs that we wanted to hear last minute. We were very happy with their service!
We wanted a DJ who was familiar with the venue and who was easy to work with, and who knew what they were doing.
Joseph at Grant Hemond & Associates did exactly that! We spoke the week before the wedding to go over all the song choices we had and still needed, and he kept things so easy and stress-free! He actually ended up DJing another friend’s wedding just a few weeks prior to ours, and my maid-of-honor just booked him for her wedding next year as well!
