Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

When you get to your reception you will receive an enthusiastic welcome from your DJ/Reception Director, for you are now husband and wife. Now it’s time to kick back, unwind, forget all the stress and celebrate at your reception. After your first dance the music will continue and you will be flooded with greetings from all the family members and friends.

Music is the most memorable part of your reception. Your guest will remember more about the music than the meal or the cake, especially if the DJ did a great job. The main reason wedding couples choose a DJ is the selection of music he can play spans across all ages and tastes, but a good DJ will also act as your master of ceremonies to help maintain the proper flow during the reception. He will coordinate with your photographer to get all the right pictures for your wedding album. I will consult with you sometime before the wedding to discuss the desired order of events, i.e. cutting the cake, the bouquet and garter toss and who will make a toast. If the DJ is to introduce the entire wedding party, I will go over all the names for the correct pronunciations.

Having a DJ you can trust to handle all the duties is important, but where we really earn our money is knowing what music will get the crowd on the dance floor. Traditionally, guest will not dance until after the bride and groom have their first dance. In most cases, the DJ will kick off the dance portion of your reception after any special dances. This gets the guests up and on the dance floor so that they don’t begin to feel left out.

What helps the most is using the attached music list to provide the DJ a guideline of the types of music that you want to hear. Just remember that your wedding day is a time to celebrate, so dance and enjoy yourself!
