Play something FUN!

"Slide to the LEFT, Slide to the RIGHT, everybody clap your hands...." (Clap, clap, clap)

Ok...So you heard this song more than once...Imagine how many times WE have heard this song (Cha Cha slide)....Seriously imagine...I think I lost count after 900..........

So you want us to play something that you can dance to? Well let's start from the top...1,2,3,4

1. Keep your guests in mind when you choose music selections. It's very easy to pick out music you and your Fiancé' like, but what about grandma? What about Aunt Gertrude? What about cousin vinny who likes Disco? What about any kids who MIGHT like the "Chicken Dance"? I have been told that if I play certain songs, well I will get food thrown at me....By the Bride! Here is my advice: PLEASE keep ALL of your guests in mind when you pick out music...Yes you should do some oldies if the crowd will have some 40+ year olds, YES you should do the Chicken dance if there might be some kids (Even Grandma LOVES this one!)....Are you sick of hearing these songs? Probably, but remember: We are the professionals; we know what songs will work. In the end, however, it IS your event: IF YOU DO NOT WANT A SONG PLAYED, WE WILL NOT PLAY IT.

2. Choose a variety of music that will appeal to all ages. Remember, you want your GUESTS to have fun and remember how they DANCED all night long! "Wow, we had SO much fun at Amy and Bob's wedding......." We still get people from years ago telling us that they had a blast at a wedding We DJ'd YEARS ago........That, Miss happy Bride is PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Don't Piss your parents off. I did a wedding not too long ago where the Mother of the bride INSISTED that the "Electric Slide" was to be played...The Bride had put this on her "Do not play " list, and after Mom came up to the DJ (Hands on hips..."what..No Electric Slide"?) I directed her to her Daughter...in which a Battle erupted...and guess who won the battle?............MOM.

4. Let your DJ do what he or she does best: Play great music and entertain ALL of your guests for a fun-filled evening of Dancing. Give us the freedom and flexibility to play requests, go with the FLOW, and read the audience. This will relax all of your guests and encourage more people to Dance to a variety of music, rather than JUST ONE type of music. Again, this is what we do FULL-TIME!

So there you have it.....Something I feel is very important to both you and your DJ....The Music. Please feel free to also have a list of "Only play if requested" songs (Electric Slide, YMCA, etc.)...This will help your DJ in going with the flow....Again, to tell us that you will throw food at us if we play YMCA is OK.....I don't like to have food thrown at me so I won't play that song on your wedding day!
