Wedding DJs Keep It Moving

Your wedding DJ will do more than just spin tunes as your wedding guests dance the night away. He or she will set the tone for the entire event, because it's the wedding DJ who orchestrates the shifts in mood and tone using music. Whether you like swing, funk, or contemporary pop, the order of your wedding music can make or break your reception. The wedding DJ chooses songs that compliment the events taking place at the wedding and help keep the party flowing.

Here are some suggestions we think make a wedding reception perfect based on our years of experience.

For the Grand Entrance
The guests are assembled at the wedding reception venue and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the newly married couple. When the wedding DJ announces the arrival of the bride and groom at the wedding reception, there's electricity in the air. Your wedding disc jockey can help you choose a song that's dramatic or fun, like:

Bittersweet Symphony, The Verve
Celebration, Kool and the Gang
Let's Get it Started, the Black Eyes Peas

For Cutting the Cake
When the wedding disc jockey announces the cake cutting, he can play a traditional song or something more tongue-in-cheek. Some fun choices include:

How Sweet it Is, James Taylor
Pour Some Sugar on Me, Def Leppard
The Sweetest Thing, U2

For Throwing the Bouquet
When the single ladies gather to catch the bouquet, it's all about having fun. Not all couples opt for the bouquet throwing (or the garter toss, for that matter), but for those that do, the following songs fit nicely:

It's Raining Men, Weather Girls
Girls, Girls, Girls, Motley Crue
Hey Ladies, Beastie Boys

Tossing the Garter
Not all brides wear a garter and some find this ritual a tad offensive, but some brides take part in this ritual just so the groom can remove it and toss it to the single male guests. If you choose to have a garter toss during your wedding reception, some fun songs to play include:

You Can Leave Your Hat On, Joe Cocker
The Stripper, David Rose Orchestra
She's Got Legs, ZZ Top

For the Last Dance and Your Exit
All good things must come to an end, including your reception. You can let the wedding DJ wind down with a slow song or end on an energetic note. Popular last dance songs include:

Last Dance, Donna Summer
We are Family, Sister Sledge
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), Green Day

You may or may not take part in all of these events depending on the tone of your wedding reception, but you'll be able to relax and enjoy yourself knowing that your wedding DJ is keeping the party moving and playing the right soundtrack to your important day. Isn't it worth it knowing you have one less thing to worry about?
