5 Tips for Your Wedding Music
Once you have made your decision either to go with a band or with a DJ, here are some tips to keep your guests up and moving throughout your celebration:
Know your audience. Insist that your band or DJ play what would most entertain your guests, rather than what has been most popular with the guests of other weddings.
Variety is important. Play enough variety that people are inspired to keep dancing. You want your guest to think that even though this song isn’t one of their favorites, there is a good chance that the next song will be, so why sit down?
Play older music earlier in the reception. This will give older guests, who tend to leave earlier, a chance to enjoy themselves.
Recruit your wedding party to get out on the dance floor early. This sets the vibe and lets other guests know that it's time to get moving. This also gives reluctant dancers time to ease into the spirit of the celebration and eventually get out of their seats.
Ask for recommendations ahead of time. One way to do that is on your wedding invitation response cards- ask guests to list their favorite dance songs. Not only will guests be more likely to get up and dance when they hear that song played, but they will also feel included in your considerations.
