Best DJ in the business

We didn’t expect to find a world-class DJ on the island of Maui, but Liam is IT. We really wanted to avoid the “cheesy wedding DJ” but had a hard time finding someone who fit our vibe without flying someone in. Then we found Liam, and he was everything we hoped for and more. Many of our guests are very into music, and one of them remarked that he felt like he was at an exclusive club in Ibiza during Liam’s set at our Olowalu wedding. His sound system is top of the line, and the highlight of our dance party was him rocking out with his drums to our favorite songs. He was able to create an amazing energy for all our guests. He is also the consummate professional—he went above and beyond to stream in a speech from someone who couldn’t attend the wedding, gave us guidance on transitioning between events, and putting my father (who was officiating our Indian ceremony) at total ease. Liam is also just a very cool person and so fun to work with on our wedding day. Even though Maui is the center of the worldwide wedding industrial complex, Liam is far from corporate—he genuinely loves music, cares about you, and is dedicated to giving you an incredible experience. We would hire Liam again in a heartbeat!

Best wedding soundtrack ever!

Liam was the best DJ for our destination wedding! Music is incredibly important to my husband and I, and Liam had everyone dancing all night long, there was truly never a moment when the dance floor was empty. He traveled to Puerto Vallarta and learned about our music preferences, keeping the vibe going exactly as we'd hoped. He even worked closely with our wedding planner to coordinate the perfect timing for our fireworks to go off during one of our favorite songs. Liam was an absolutely joy to work with and I strongly recommend him to anyone planning a wedding!

Excellent!

Liam was the perfect DJ for my daughter's wedding at Waimea Valley, Oahu. He seamlessly provided the perfect music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and then dancing. It was a beautiful wedding from beginning to end, much because of his talent as a laid-back, yet on the ball, DJ. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking to hire a DJ for your wedding, stop because you just found him!

My wife and I got married at the Catamount in Steamboat Springs, CO September of 2018. We selected Liam to play the music for the ceremony and DJ the reception. We were extremely happy with the service Liam provided for our most special day! Liam’s professionalism started well before the day of the wedding. He contacted us via email and gave us a form that covered every aspect of the music we desired for the ceremony and reception. About a month before the wedding, Liam contacted us via FaceTime (Liam was out of state at the time and we live in the Denver area) and had a good conversation with us detailing exactly what we wanted.

On the day of the ceremony, Liam arrived on time and was dressed well for the event. He played exactly what we wanted for the ceremony and his system sounded perfect! For the reception, he kept the party going strong and everyone had a blast! We got many comments from our guest on how much they loved Liam. I highly recommend hiring Liam for your wedding or big event! He is very professional, fun and good at what he does as a DJ. I promise you will not regret hiring him!

Liam was our DJ for our wedding & I can't recommend him enough! He was professional, prompt, responsive, and most importantly, he got the party going! He has an eclectic taste in music, so if you're looking for a musical selection a little less conventional than your average wedding- he's definitely the man! However, he'll cater the playlist to whatever you select, so no worries if you're just looking for a more traditional music set with a really fun, genuine wedding emcee. Would recommend him to anyone looking to have an inspiring music set to dance to!

More than just a DJ, Liam is the whole package! There was not one part of the ceremony that he did no make better!! From mic-ing the Officiant and musicians, to creating a slideshow, Liam became our first hand man. And those beats. I don't know how he made my conservative uncle and my burning man friends happy at the same time, but the man has class and funk. Thanks for starting the dance party Liam, and keeping it going alll night long. Everyone kept telling us it was the best wedding ever, and I think it was because of you. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!

If you are thinking about getting married, Liam Grist is an amazing DJ, great person and excellent business man. His great taste, style, and ability to read a room make a good reception into a phenomenal one. He's easy to talk to, open to last minute changes, and just the man to take care of our receptions music. From the beginning, face-timing with Liam, until the very end of our wedding we couldn't have hoped for a better DJ. He was very communicative, had great planning and payment tools, needed little in respect to set-up and space, was punctual, announced events eloquently, and oval had a great playlist (including some of our unordinary song requests and "do not play" requests) with good transition and poise. By the end we both were hugging him and wishing the night was longer. My elderly dad even mentioned several times that the music and the announcements were really good, and his tastes are limited. Everyone at the wedding, at all age demographics, were dancing at eh reception, having a great time. I highly recommend Liam to DJ at any event, I would absolutely ask him to join my next one1

We booked Liam for our April 2017 wedding on the Big Island at Kahua Ranch. He was amazing! Liam was incredibly responsive, had a flat rate with no additional costs, read the room perfectly, and provided awesome music for the dinner and reception. He had great energy, but didn’t steal the show like DJs can do. We cannot recommend Liam highly enough.

Liam was fantastic to work with! He met with me over the phone several times before the wedding, which helped with planning. He also did a great job communicating with our ceremony musicians, the caterers, and the photographers to make our day run super smoothly. Liam created a really fun atmosphere both during dinner and dancing! He was able to use the songs I had chosen on our playlist and mix in other songs that matched the mood and our tastes perfectly. Everyone was out on the dance floor and having a great time! We would definitely recommend him!

First off, for a pretty young guy, Liam is more professional than almost anyone I've met on Maui. His Google Docs form helps you get every detail nailed down exactly how you want it. He was always willing to hop on a call and very responsive to emails. He threw a crazy awesome wedding reception party for us that we'll always remember. He accommodated last-minute changes, made announcements, and played awesome music with a big smile on his face. HIGHLY recommend Liam!
