Lets talk music!  The music can be the deciding factor for the mood of the wedding.  I like to provide my clients with a Top 200 Song Guide of the most popular wedding songs to get them started for the open dance music selections.  Its great to have a wide variety of music throughout the wedding because you will most likely have guests of all ages with different interests.  

 

I am the kind of DJ that will keep your guests on the dance floor the entire night by playing a fun rotation of songs.  For example, I will play one line dance per hour, 1 slow song per hour, one pop, one rock, and so one.  I will not start out the night by playing the five most popular dance songs! I will space them out to keep everyone interested and on the dance floor until the last song.  

 

I act as your master of ceremonies and announce all events for you.  I do my best to stay on track with the schedule of events we have created for the evening.I keep my announcing fun, upbeat, and minimal.  I will have the dance floor full by the music I am playing, not by shouting at them!

 

With my experience of doing an average of 60 weddings per year, I get to see what get most crowds dancing.  Along with my Top 200 music guide, you can feel free to make your own Must Play list, or a Do Not Play list, and get as specific as you like for the open dance music, dinner music, and even cocktail hour.  This is your wedding and I’m going to play what you want to hear!

 

Please email me so I can send you the most up to date Top 200 Wedding Guide
