Introduction: 3rd Alarm Entertainment prides itself on one on one, personal service. Owner/DJ Eric Griggs has over 10 years experience in the industry and has covered many different types of events from school dances, corporate events, fundraisers, weddings, sweet 16's, and community events. I don't sell crazy bundle entertainment packages with a bunch of fluff, rather a custom tailored service package to meet the customers needs and budget without a bunch of useless costly add-ons. Being a firefighter by day, I am proud to offer 20% discounts to first responders and military personnel.

I hired Eric for my daughter's Sweet 16 party. He provided DJ/MC services, beautiful lighting, along with an awesome photo booth that applied filters and the ability to text/email the pictures, and a link sent to me after the party to download all of the pictures taken. The photo booth was a huge hit with the kids and adults. All of this provided at a very reasonable price. He came early to set up with plenty of time to spare. Fast responses when I reached out with questions during the planning. He played everything I asked for along with special requests. I received a lot of compliments regarding the DJ and photo booth. I highly recommend him and will definitely hire him again if I need a DJ again in the future.

Eric was very good and professional. He showed up early for the setup and everyone loved the Photo Booth. I sent him a playlist and requested no profanity. We requested R &B, Afro beats, reggae, house , hip hop and pop music. I would definitely recommend him. He did a great job with my daughter’s graduation party. It was outside and he brought his own tent too. Thank you Eric.

We cannot say enough great things about Eric! He did such an amazing job DJ’ing our wedding! I mean above and beyond our expectations. Incredibly friendly, great sense of humor, and a natural on the mic and playlist. Eric was very responsive and there wasn’t a request that he didn’t fulfill. The music really made the party and we are so grateful we used 3rd Alarm Entertainment. We will certainly book again for our next party!

Our school PTA has used 3rd Alarm Entertainment for more than 3 years now. Eric has provided entertainment for our Back to School Block Parties, Trunk or Treat, Dance-a-thon, 5th grade parties and numerous school dances. Our students, families and staff always have a great time. Eric is very professional and great to work with. He is very responsive over email and by phone. I highly recommend 3rd Alarm Entertainment for any school, corporate or private event. You will not be disappointed!
