Who is

Denise A. Grant is a self-taught visionary who transformed her passion for baking into a celebrated career as a Wedding and Event Decorator & Designer—and ultimately, an Experience Curator. At 42 years old, with 13 years of entrepreneurial success through Denise A. Grant LLC, she has redefined the art of celebration by blending creativity, meticulous planning, and a personal touch.

​

Born in Jamaica WI, Denise’s creative journey began when she crafted her son’s first birthday cake—a moment that ignited her passion for design and set her on a path toward excellence. Over the years, she evolved from being known simply as “The Cake Decorator” to curating immersive, luxurious experiences that turn events into lasting memories.

​

At HACTAC Events, her mission is clear: to create the most luxurious weddings and events that clients will cherish for years to come. Through world-class customer service, a commitment to listening, and an unwavering attention to detail, HACTAC brings every client’s vision to life—often exceeding expectations. Her vision is to see HACTAC become a household name worldwide.

​

Beyond weddings and social events, Denise produces high-profile events in celebrity and corporate settings. Her prestigious clientele includes cast members of Love & Hip Hop and Black Ink Crew, anchors from PIX11 Morning News, WBLS (where she produces the Circle of Sisters main stage and Instagram-worthy moments), Hot 97 (handling in-station events, Summer Jam announcements, and VIP experiences), Papoose, Food Network Wine & Food Festival & Black Girl Sunscreen.
