Someone who could go with our taste and keep people dancing, nothing tacky or crazy. Someone who understood what we needed.
We loved Jason from Grant Hemond & Associates right from the get-go; he was on our music level! Jason was so helpful and knew everything we wanted; we had no sound issues, and people were loving his playlist all night.
We wanted someone who was going to be extremely professional, reliable, fun, and followed high standards! Grant Hemond & Assoc. was recommended to me by my wedding planner, Special Moments Event Planning. They were highly rated online and provided a great package at the best price!
Tony from Grant Hemond and Associates was our DJ. He arranged a call with us the week before the wedding where we went through the entire schedule. He made us feel at ease and was extremely organized! On the day of the wedding, Tony played all of the songs that we were hoping for. He also went above and beyond, even coming over and asking if we needed our drinks refilled before speeches! He kept the energy up throughout the evening and was extremely professional.
For me, my top three elements were: good food, good drinks, and a wild dance floor (I may or may not have done the worm in my wedding dress)! We wanted a DJ who was reliable and who had a good reputation.
Grant Hemond & Associates did an amazing job and were very easy to communicate with prior to and during the wedding. We had a thirty-minute call a few weeks before the wedding, which allowed us to meet our DJ and communicate our wants and needs.
I wanted up-lighting, to be able to request songs, for them to be able to read the room and keep people on the dance floor the entire time.
Eric was the DJ at a wedding we went to previously. He did everything we wanted! He even made last-minute changes for us and cut into other songs at specific times we wanted for one of our dances!
We wanted someone that would be professional, up to date with music selections, able to have a great flow of the night, include light options in the package & if possible, have a photo booth.
I had researched online and had narrowed it down to Grant Hemond & Associates and a live band. I was torn between the live band and DJ but after connecting with our planner it made more sense for us to have a DJ, and boy am I glad we did! Our guests are still talking about how amazing our DJ, Jody, was with the introductions, the flow and order of the night, and choice of music. It also helped that our planner had worked with our DJ company several times, and she was able to give her honest feedback on their experiences with them which made us feel confident in selecting them. Michelle, from Grant Hemond, was amazing! Her communication, responsiveness to emails, and professionalism were outstanding.
We actually got a recommendation to use Grant Hemond & Associates from our photographer during our consult. We felt like since our photographer had a good idea of who we were (and shared our belief that a DJ can make or break a reception), we trusted his recommendation on selecting Grant Hemond!
We chose them because of how easy it was to work with them, and how it seemed like their style would work well with ours for entertaining.
A true DJ who was able to mix songs and keep the dance floor full. It was also important to have someone who understood the audience and was nimble to adjust sounds based on the dance floor’s responses.
Grant Hemond & Associates were incredible, and Adam was able to play all the songs on our list and then some. After the wedding, people of all ages and generations came up to us, boasting about how much theyloved the playlist.
We wanted a DJ who really knew what type of musicwe liked and the atmosphere we were trying to create.
Grant Hemond & Associates was suggested by our venue. The entertainment was a big hit with all of our guests, and Craig Hemond took the time to meet with us and get to know our music tastes.
Grant Hemond & Associates was on my radar from a bridal show and my planner’s DJ recommendations. Then I learned that they partnered with Hotel Zamora and one of their wedding packages included a DJ from Grant Hemond. We got paired with the wonderful Steve Lange. He was so great. You could really tell he had been playing weddings for a while, and he made everything so easy and fun. My reception guests danced the night away with Steve. 10-star service definitely!
DJ Eric Harding at Grant Hemond & Associates was an MVP for sure! He has the absolute most wonderful presence, did a wonderful job providing sound at our ceremony and cocktail hour, and mixed club-worthy music for the reception. A DJ really carries the execution of your timeline from the guest’s perspective, and he delivered it flawlessly. Our dance floor was on fire!
Grant Hemond & Associates has grown over the years, yet still maintains such a personal experience for each wedding. They were so helpful. They spoke with us over the phone before our day to make sure they set the tone for our wedding well. They walked us through songs for all the minor parts of the wedding and even coordinated A/V with a friend who sang at our wedding. It was very personalized, and they were very easy to work with! We played our music during the reception and had so much fun with our family and friends.
We wanted someone who understood the vibe we wanted to capture for our wedding day, FUN! Our goal was to have everyone out on the dance floor and appease all different age groups with our music choices.
We hired Grant Hemond & Associates because they came highly recommended by so many different websites I did research through. Eric was one of the DJs I kept on coming across on the reviews. I was so excited when he was available on our wedding date. After our initial introduction with Eric, we knew we were in excellent hands. He was incredible. We still have guests telling us they never wanted to leave at the end of the night because it was so much fun.
He was incredibly personable and asked a lot of great questions to get to know us a week prior to the wedding. He made a lot of great suggestions for songs we were struggling with for certain parts of the wedding. We shared with him that our goal was to have everyone dancing and he delivered exactly that. We were blown away!
We focused on the guests’ experience, keeping it fun and lively with lots of great music, drinks, and dancing. We wanted a DJ who would keep everyone on the dance floor!

I have gotten to know their DJs very well, especially one in particular. I had worked with Eric Harding with Grant Hemond at several weddings in the past. I always loved his music and his vibe. I thought he was so talented, kind, and polite. Eric definitely felt like the best fit for us, and as predicted, he did amazing!
With a guest list filled with those who love to dance we knew the dance floor would be important and wanted a DJ who could keep the party going. DJ James King with Grant Hemond was the perfect choice for us because he was able to incorporate a playlist that catered to a wide age range of guests while still maintaining fantastic energy. He played all of the right songs at all of the right times and we could not have been happier!
When we hired Grant Hemond and Associates for our wedding DJ, we wanted someone who could read the room very well and play appropriate music to enhance the mood. Our families have a mix of older adults as well as children and so we made sure to have him play the music that was appropriate for all age groups.
We wanted a DJ who would play great music and keep the evening running smoothly.
We hired Jody from Grant Hemond & Associates because he had great reviews, and he was happy to let us choose as much or as little of the music as we wanted. He also did an awesome job setting up uplighting around the ballroom!
Grant Hemond & Associates was always on our radar, as we have a family friend who DJs for them. They took time to get to know what type of music we wanted, and they delivered. We had a few random requests that were fulfilled, an impromptu karaoke performance, and a very special tribute to our grandparents. Without that bias, they were an easy 10/10! They made our wedding day so much fun and we highly recommend James King.

We wanted someone who could entertain, take charge, and keep people on the dance floor all night! We hired Grant Hemond & Associates because literally every vendor could not recommend them enough! We also received mail from them shortly after our inquiry. We were extremely impressed with their promptness and willingness to answer all of our questions.
