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!
We love an ode to classic soft rock songs and asked our DJ to have fun with the playlist during dinner service and to incorporate some of our favorite artists, think Billy Joel, Elton John, and Frankie Valli. We wanted someone who would keep the party going!
Grant Hemond & Associates came highly recommended, and Adam really matched exactly what we were looking for. Adam hit the vibe right on the head and had everyone dancing in their seats, even through dinner! To also find out that he had recorded all the speeches for us was such a nice surprise.
We knew we wanted our reception to turn into a party with lots of dancing. Grant Hemond & Assoc. was recommended by Marry Me Tampa Bay, and we read excellent reviews on other sites as well. We were really happy with their services.
Our DJ, Steve, listened to both the types of songs we wanted and respected our “Do Not Play” list. He was very open to night-of-song suggestions and kept the party going. We didn’t sit down the whole night!
There is no one better than the team at Grant Hemond & Associates! They are truly the most professional DJs in the business. We were looking for a fun and relaxed evening with lots of dancing. DJ Jody Bower understood the assignment and aced it!
My most memorable moment was our last dance to Ed Sheeran’s Perfect. There were a small number of guests left, and everyone was on the dance floor. My eyes were closed as Bill and I danced and sang together. When I opened my eyes, everyone had formed a circle around us and was watching as we danced. As we turned, I could see each and every face of our friends and family. The love and happiness on their faces were completely overwhelming, and for the first time that day, I cried. Later I learned that DJ Jody had orchestrated the “circle of love” around us.
We wanted a DJ who wasn’t afraid to play anything and everything. We wanted to make sure all of our guests were on the dance floor all night long. Grant Hemond and Associates was recommended by our venue as one of their preferred vendors.
We wanted wedding vendors who would thrive on creative control. With a few guidelines, we gave James King free rein over everything. We’re paying him to do what he does best, and we had complete faith in that, just as long as we did not hear the Cha Cha Slide or the Cupid Shuffle, we were on board for anything. Our music range was so vast that I’m pretty sure we had an ‘Emo Cocktail Hour’ with Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance.
Grant Hemond & Associates came highly recommended from our venue. Michelle Norman was incredibly responsive and straightforward with how their booking process worked. James King absolutely blew us away. He was incredibly receptive to our music personalities during our initial call and offered up suggestions for songs and overall vibes. On the day of, he always made sure JT and I had a drink in our hands and checked in with us throughout the night to ensure we loved the ambiance.
I wanted a DJ who knew how to get the party started and keep it going during the entire night. Everyone loved our DJ, and they were out on the dance floor all night.
Grant Hemond & Associates came highly recommended from the Vinoy as they have done a lot of weddings there. Their service was amazing.
Grant Hemond & Associates was a partner with the venue, and we were able to speak with our DJ prior to the wedding to chat about what kind of music we’d like the guests to dance to. I thought that the DJ was amazing!
I was able to send him a Spotify playlist, and he found the clean versions of each song for me. There was never a hiccup during the ceremony songs either.
We are very go-with-the-flow people, and the only thing that mattered was having fun with each other and our families. I think that really showed with the ease of the day. We curated our wedding music playlist to represent us. We wanted dancing music, delicious food, and a fun environment for our guests.
Grant Hemond & Associates was the company our venue partnered with, and DJ Tony was fabulous! He worked with us within our short time frame and was super flexible. He also played all the music we loved! We got so many compliments on our DJ!
We wanted a DJ who would be able to get everyone on the dance floor and play the music that we liked/was relevant to our guests.
Our wedding planner recommended Grant Hemond and Associates, and our DJ was Adam Hensleigh. He was awesome! He played every song we wanted and was able to read the room/transition to songs that our guests would like, he was great at transitions and bridal party intros, and he kept the party alive all night! My six-year-old nephew really wowed the crowd with his dancing; we didn’t know he had those moves in him! Multiple friends told us that our wedding was the most fun wedding they had ever been to, and they raved about how good the DJ was!
We wanted someone who would be comfortable playing both contemporary western and Turkish music and someone who could rally our guests to get to the dance floor and elevate the evening with a fun vibe.
