Must-Hire Wedding MC and DJ!

We hired Grant to do our wedding and he was great to work with! He made sure to include every little request I made and paid a lot of attention to detail. I had many different specifics, playlists, even some songs that needed to be cut in certain places, etc and he handled all of it perfectly! Before the wedding, he also emailed me a template so we could have the whole day/night planned out exactly right. This helped a lot and helped me see some things I wasn’t thinking with! A large number of our wedding guests said how great the DJ was and how much fun they had because of his work. All together, it was a great experience working with Grant. Definitely recommend!

Wedding Review

Grant was an amazing Dj and was extremely attentive to what we needed for our wedding. His curation of our music choices and working on the fly at the event was great. He was extremely respectful to our schedule and space. He created an amazing vibe that couldn't be beat. We loved the napkin cheer especially and definitely recommend it for any wedding Grant plays at. Overall, we were extremely pleased with Grant and would recommend him to anyone holding events in the Chicago area.

Grant is the best! He made our wedding so memorable! You won’t regret booking him as your DJ!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Grant as the DJ at our wedding, and we cannot sing his praises enough! Grant's exceptional talent, attentiveness, and passion for music made our special night truly unforgettable.

From our very first interaction, Grant demonstrated a genuine dedication to understanding our musical preferences and the overall atmosphere we wanted to create. He carefully listened to all our requests and incorporated them seamlessly into the playlist, resulting in a perfect blend of songs that resonated with both us and our guests.

Grant's ability to read the crowd and gauge the energy levels was simply remarkable. From the very beginning of the reception until the final moments of the night, the dance floor was alive with excitement and joy. His seamless transitions between songs and impeccable timing kept the energy high, ensuring that everyone had an incredible time.

What truly stood out about Grant was his unwavering professionalism and genuine enthusiasm. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, responsive to our needs, and always willing to go the extra mile. His friendly and approachable demeanor made us feel comfortable, and he made sure to accommodate any special requests, making us and our guests feel involved and part of the celebration.

Grant's music selection was outstanding, catering to all ages and tastes. His ability to create the perfect atmosphere for each moment, from the heartfelt first dance to the energetic party hits, was truly impressive. The dance floor was packed throughout the night, with everyone having the time of their lives.

We cannot recommend Grant highly enough. His exceptional skills as a DJ, his dedication to making our night perfect, and his ability to create an unforgettable experience are second to none. If you're looking for a DJ who will listen to your requests, play amazing music from start to finish, and make your event truly memorable, Grant is the one to choose.

Thank you, Grant, for the incredible music, the memories, and for making our wedding night an absolute blast. You exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so grateful for your talent and dedication.

Highly recommended!

The perfect DJ for our wedding

Grant was excellent every step of the way in making sure our wedding's audio needs were perfectly executed. He was easy to work with when we had a couple planning hiccups (first postponement and then some weather-related adjustments the day of). He smoothly integrated the songs we requested during each stage of our wedding with his own judgement to fill the gaps. We felt like the audio experience for the music, speeches, and ceremony could not have gone better. Highly recommend.

Made my Son's First Birthday Amazing

Gannon Events helped make my son's first birthday party a hit! Their team reached out 2 weeks before the event to make sure they had all my requested music and the party's itnierary. Their DJ arrived over an hour early to make sure the music was playing as guests were walking in. The DJ played everything from the top hits for the parents to Disney classics for the kids. Everyone was happy! Thank you to Gannon Events!
