Wedding DJ FAQ

We’re into it!  (As long as it’s OK with the catering staff).  Occasionally a couple will request that the dance party begin immediately after the first dance. Although this can be a fun idea and set the great tone for the night, it often interferes with the catering time-line and service, throwing off the natural flow of the evening.  It is important to discuss this thoroughly with the caterer before asking the band to go right into dancing.

• Tip: Motown or classic party favorites work best for this option as those songs tend to get all ages on the dance floor very quickly.

These usually follow the cake cutting/after dinner, and serve as the best transition from dinner to dancing.  These songs may be shortened as well, depending on the dancing prowess of the bride, groom, and parents. If you’re having a hard time choosing two separate songs, consider incorporating both the bride/father and groom/mother dances during the same song. This will provide enough time for the photographer to take pictures of each couple.  A couple minutes into the song, we can invite all guests to join in (optional), which leads nicely into dancing.

A great time to start the dance party is right after dinner, after the parent dances.  And remember – nothing helps fill the dance floor more than when YOU dance!

*Tip: Dipping the lights down low sends the signal that it’s time to party. Ask your onsite manager to dim the house lights after dinner/parent dances. Our production crew does our best to also notify the venue to do this.
