Your wedding lives or dies off of the reception music. A bad, cheesy DJ or band who makes it all about them can completely ruin a perfectly wonderful wedding.

We are big dancers and knew from the start the goal was to get people on the dance floor. My family and I own two dance studios in the Tampa area called BSDA and Hunter’s family has never shied away from a good boogie, so we knew it was going to be an epic event.

We chose Grant Hemond & Associates because we had a very long list of specific songs we wanted played and needed someone extremely professional to take on this important task.

We spent hours crafting a solid DJ playlist to ensure everyone would be having an epic time and had the amazing DJ James King to feel out the crowd for everything in between and keep the party moving. We even timed to the minute when to shoot off pyrotechnic guns into the crowd.

James completely matched our vibe and totally understood the assignment. No cheesy interjections; he was just the unsung hero of the evening who knew how to read a room and keep the flow going.

We wanted a wedding DJ who cared about his craft of mixing and not just shuffled premade playlists. We also wanted someone who would take our input in music choices into consideration.

Josh said the DJ for his sister’s wedding was amazing and kept the whole wedding flowing perfectly. So naturally, we just asked her who it was, and it was Grant Hemond & Associates. They were super professional and played all the songs we asked them to play which was important to us.

Someone who could play the right music and have a personality when we needed them during important DJ moments. Grant Hemond & Associates always does a great job and is spot on with being able to customize things. They were able to work with me quickly and customize the songs that we wanted.

They are amazing, hands down one of the best DJs in town. I’ve had personal experience working with them, and they know the venue. I think knowing the venue was key for picking a DJ.

Someone who could bring together all the different age groups, ’20s-’70s, while keeping up with the theme’s energy. Through our planner’s guidance, she knew which specific DJ would be best for our event.

Ben Daniele of Grant Hemond & Associates was adorable. His excited and playful energy was infectious to all. We loved watching the interaction between the DJ and the zombies with the music choices and the commentary.

Since our wedding was essentially in the backyard of a house, we had to bring in all of the equipment and lighting which was a big aspect I was worried about previously.

Our wedding DJ came highly recommended and was amazing to work with. We hired Grant Hemond & Associates to DJ throughout the day, include mics for the ceremony, music for cocktail hour, first dances, music throughout the night, and lighting once it got dark. After our first dances and speeches, we got hit hard by a thunderstorm. Our DJ was amazing about moving everything inside, keeping himself and the equipment safe, and getting right back to playing music as soon as he was able.

When searching for a DJ, we looked for excellent reviews. The DJ sets the tone for the night and in our case the entire day. We have been to enough weddings that did not have a good DJ, and the whole reception was not as enjoyable as no one was dancing.

Grant Hemond & Associates has amazing reviews. DJ Ben was amazing! We still talk about how great he was. He had a very thorough list of questions for the day, and he did such a good job taking my suggestions and creating a playlist for each part of the day that was flawless. Also, you get what you pay for, and paying for a great DJ is definitely worth it.

Grant Hemond & Associates came highly recommended by our wonderful wedding planner Special Moments Event Planning and had fantastic reviews, so we felt confident hiring them. Eric was our DJ during the reception and he did a fantastic job! He worked with us to play all our special songs and took care of all the miscellaneous song selections so we didn’t have to come up with an entire wedding playlist. It was really wonderful to simply share our general musical preferences with him and then let him put on a great event!

DJ Tom from Grant Hemond & Associates was amazing! During our phone meeting, we discussed songs that we wanted to be played and our style of music; he really listened to what we wanted. DJ Tom was awesome and played a great mix of styles and genres!

Jason of Grant Hemond & Associates came highly recommended by our wedding planner, and we are so thrilled that he was available for our wedding. Greg’s family is Polish, so we had a blast dancing to traditional Disco Polo at the reception. Jason did a fantastic job weaving those in with our other requests.

We hired Grant Hemond & Associates because they were at a small wedding expo that The Birchwood was holding for preferred vendors. My mom went and met one of the DJs and loved his energy, so when she left, she recommended that we call them ASAP.

We loved their service. Everything from our first call to see about our music selections to when they played our final song at the end of the reception. Our DJ, Tom, was incredibly professional and understood how to keep the reception moving along. They are one of the vendors we would definitely call again for any big party.

We decided to hire Grant Hemond & Associates because they were a preferred vendor of The Tampa Club and had amazing reviews. They allowed us to speak with a few of their DJs before booking to ensure we were comfortable with who was selected for our wedding. Before the wedding, our DJ had a thorough list of questions for us to answer. He went through each question with us, took our suggestions, and created a great playlist for each part of the night. Their service was amazing.

We absolutely wanted a DJ who was upbeat and that could keep the energy moving up. We wanted someone who was lively and got people on the dance floor but that did not play the same songs we always hear.

We specifically chose Adam with Grant Hemond and Associates because he DJ’d my sister’s wedding, and I just loved his vibe. He was super friendly and seemed excited to be there. He also kept people on the dance floor. Though we didn’t ask, Adam also recorded our toasts which was a nice touch!

Kevin was afraid that no one would want to dance because of social distancing but that was not the case at all. To know that family and friends took the time to travel and celebrate us and in the process were willing to potentially risk their health to do so; it made me emotional and grateful. When we were all dancing together it was nice to just be in that moment and appreciate the risks people took to be there for us. It was heartwarming and we felt really loved.

We wanted a DJ who was fun, outgoing, and would keep the party going.

The coordinator was great to work with getting all of our details, and once we got to connect with James he made the process so easy! He made sure to cover every part of the reception and note all the specifics we wanted. James was amazing when it came to organizing our special songs, announcing our bridal party, and playing great music that all our guests enjoyed.

Joseph was just perfect and was able to turn our song recommendations into an awesome playlist for the night. He was also able to come up with a list of what I had in mind during the ceremony and cocktail hour. He was a lot of fun and worked well with our other vendors for the timeline.

I hired Grant Hemond & Associates when discussing with my wedding planner what I wanted in a DJ for our wedding day, and without hesitation, she quickly knew who to contact and specifically which DJ to go with. DJ Jason Tally did a phenomenal job!

From the day I met him on our phone interview we connected right away. He was able to see my vision and created the best playlist for cocktail hour and reception that everyone loved. Growing up in the 90s and listening to old-school freestyle music, we had to incorporate that into the DJ playlist as well to give a little bit of that 90s vibe. Jason’s enthusiasm and love for his profession are a reflection of how amazing of a DJ he is.

We wanted someone who would really listen to what music we requested but could also put their own spin on it.

The music and dancing were of utmost importance. We wanted our guests to have an uplifting, fun, and memorable experience. We wanted a DJ who would customize our experience and fit the vision that we had in mind. Grant Hemond & Associates did exactly that.

We chose Grant Hemond because Zachary had previous experience with them and knew that they would exceed our expectations. I danced my entire childhood and knew that the reception and dancing were a high priority to me. Tom Delisa was our DJ of choice, and he went over the top to ensure we were happy with our playlist. He continuously checked in with both of us throughout the reception but was also not too overbearing. The dance party that we envisioned really came to life thanks to Tom.
