  • We wanted a DJ who would engage our guests and get everyone on the dance floor!

    Eric from Grant Hemond & Associates was great! He took the time to get to know us and understand what we wanted for our day, and did not disappoint! Everyone had a blast! The only problem was that the last song came too soon!

  • 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 wanted a DJ who could put our family and guests on the dance floor and that’s exactly what Grand Hemond & Associates did!

    They were recommended to us by a couple who previously used them at their wedding and had only good things to say. When we reached out to them, they were so kind and were very reasonably priced.

    Our DJ, Eric, took his time gathering our preferences prior to the big day and did a great job at our wedding with seamless transitions and keeping the wedding upbeat.

  • We looked for one that had great reviews. We wanted a DJ who would keep the dance floor going all night.

    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.

    – Gina and Kevin |
  • We wanted a DJ who was fun, outgoing, and would keep the party going.

    We chose Grant Hemond & Associates because it felt like everyone we talked to recommended them and had nothing but amazing things to say about the company and all of their DJs, and they were all correct. Jason was our DJ, and he was phenomenal!

  • We wanted a DJ who would help create a fun party for our guests. I love to dance, so I knew we needed someone to keep us going all night long!

    A co-worker recommended Grant Hemond and Associates, specifically James King. 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.

    – Paige and John |
  • We were looking for a DJ who would ensure our guests had a great time. We love dancing at weddings and believe that the music choices make a big difference in the atmosphere.

    After filling out a form of our likes and dislikes, Grant Hemond & Associates paired us with a DJ who was similar to us in age and style. 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.

    – Allison and Tyler |
  • We wanted someone who would keep the dancing going during the reception. Our planner recommended Grant Hemond & Associates. Tony did a fantastic job and listened to what we wanted to hear during the reception. They also provided uplighting around the room, giving the whole ballroom a romantic glow.

    – Katie and Jake |
  • 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.

    – Michelle and Richard |
  • We wanted someone who would really listen to what music we requested but could also put their own spin on it.

    Grant Hemond & Associates came highly recommended Every single person I asked for a recommendation all said Grant Hemond, so, it was really a no-brainer. It was a pleasure working with our DJ. They are extremely professional, and we danced the entire night!

    – Shannon and Craig |
  • 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.

    – Alyson and Zachary |
  • We wanted someone who would keep people on the dance floor at all times.

    Grant Hemond & Associates was the DJ for my dad’s wedding nine years ago! They were great and really got everyone dancing all night.

    – Olivia and Chris |
  • Music was incredibly important to us. Over the course of our engagement, we compiled playlists of music we wanted to have played during cocktail hour or dinner, in other words, songs that we really liked but that you couldn’t really dance to, songs we wanted for the reception, as well as a “do not play” list. I’ve been to enough weddings to know that the DJ makes all of the difference in whether or not the reception is fun for the guests.

    As I researched DJs, I noticed Grant Hemond & Associates had been in business for over three decades and had thousands of glowing five-star reviews online. I liked that they could do the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, as well as provide uplighting. We had Craig Hemond as our DJ and he was just phenomenal. He spent over two hours with us on the phone, discussing how the music would go for the ceremony, cocktail hour, wedding party intros, and reception, and answering every question I had. He was incredibly thorough and just the nicest guy you could ever hope to meet. Craig totally understood what I wanted for my reception, I told him I needed this to be a throwback to the late 90s/early 2000s. He knew how to get people on that dance floor, and everyone had such a fun time! And he made our reception look amazing as well with the uplighting, which we asked to be a dark teal color. He also had the ability to change the colors throughout the night and to have them change along with the beat of the music.

    – Cherine and Dan |
  • I had worked with Grant Hemond & Associates for a few years and was always impressed by the level of service by not only their DJs but their office staff as well. In planning my own wedding, I had pretty much made my mind up about hiring them when I came across their 5-star reviews and figured they have to be doing everything right to earn such a rating!

    – Cara and Justin |
  • We knew we needed someone who struck the perfect balance of friendly and lively, but not too chatty and overbearing.

    DJ Adam from Grant Hemond & Associates was spot-on. He found a way to mix our very eclectic music style (ranging from reggae to country to pop and throwbacks) and made it all flow seamlessly. From our first phone interview with DJ Adam, we knew he’d be a great fit for our personalities and that of our guests. He was very laid-back and professional, and the office staff was just the same. The company came recommended by The Don CeSar, so we had trust built-in from the start.

    – Maude and Kasey |
  • We wanted a reputable DJ company that also provided additional services, such as additional lighting options and a photo booth.

    We hired Grant Hemond & Associates because they had great reviews and multiple services, like the photo booth option. We were happy with all the services and products they provided. During the reception, we incorporated songs from all different music genres that we enjoy listening to together, including country, hip-hop, and some classic oldies like Frank Sinatra.

    – Kate and Edwin |
  • We wanted someone who knows how to keep the party going and knew a large range of music.

    We chose Grant Hemond & Associates because all of their DJs are amazing, but we specifically requested Jason Tally. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him in the past, and his knowledge and positive attitude are unmatched!

    Also, with COVID, it was important to us to choose a company that would have a backup available just in case!

    – Amber and Shawndel |
  • We wanted someone to keep the party going and to be fun and outgoing. We did not want cheesy wedding music at all.

    Grant Hemond & Associates kept everyone in a great mood.

    – Mikka and Ross |
  • We wanted a DJ who was fun and who had the same style as Todd and me. We interviewed several companies and DJs and asked for clips of them introducing a couple so we could hear their voices and that, along with conversations and reviews helped us narrow down our selection.

    Grant Hemond & Associates is a well-known company used all over Tampa Bay. Their reviews are pristine, and they have many packages to choose from. Aside from personality and vibe, it was important to us to find a company that could provide excellent options and many DJs in the case ours fell ill or could not make our wedding.

    – Melanie and Todd |
  • Eric Harding at Grant Hemond & Associates was specifically recommended to us by a friend whose family had used him multiple times. Our online research confirmed this company was top-notch!

    – Emily and Brent |
  • We wanted a DJ that could keep the party going into the New Year!

    We had heard Eric Harding from Grant Hemond & Associates deejay at a previous wedding we had gone to and thoroughly enjoyed it, so we reached out and he was available for our big day!

    Eric was super easy to communicate with and played all the songs we wanted and more, keeping the energy up all the way through to our incredible NYE countdown!

    – Kathryn and Tyler |
  • We wanted a DJ who would keep the party going and everyone dancing the whole night. Because we had a varied age range from parents to aunts and uncles to friends our age, we needed a good blend.

    We used my friend’s DJ from her wedding, Grant Hemond & Associates, and they were the easiest ever to deal with. We got a discount for booking a Monday wedding. Michelle was our contact, and she was prompt and took care of us! DJ Eric kept us dancing from the first dance until the very end!

    – Lindsay and John |
  • Our DJ had to be fun! Seriously, that was the requirement. Ben and I really wanted someone who was going to make our reception a party and get everybody on the dance floor.

    Grant Hemond & Associates were exactly what we were looking for! Our DJ, DJ Doug, got our party going and played the perfect playlist all night. He also helped keep the reception timing perfect so I didn’t have anything to worry about.
