Grant Hemond & Associates Wedding Reviews

Bride and Groom First Dance Wedding Portrait | Tampa Bay DJ Grant Hemond and Associates

Romantic White and Sage Green Ybor City Wedding | Hotel Haya

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.

Jody at Grant Hemond & Associates did a great job and was very flexible with what we needed. He was great to work with and captured what we were looking for. The blending of our American and Turkish cultures led to a unique evening with music and dances some of our guests hadn't seen before.

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.

We hired Grant Hemond & Associates because they seemed extremely professional and even had multiple DJs from their company reach out to us so that we could decide for ourselves whom we thought would be the best fit.

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.
