Tips and Advice

CANDLE LIGHTING CEREMONY: If you do a candle lighting during the ceremony, you might want to select a short interlude song to be played during it. Dead air for a minute or two will seem awkward but too long a song can drag out the ceremony. A classical song such as Pachabel’s Cannon is a nice choice, but you can also select any appropriate love song and play a snippet of it.

YOUR FIRST DANCE AS HUSBAND AND WIFE: Try to pick a wedding song that has meaning between you and your fiance. If you choose something that just happens to be popular today, you may not even remember it when you fifth anniversary comes up. But if you choose a song that is special to you both, maybe something that was "your song" when you first sarted dating or a ballad that has significance to you as a couple, then you will never forget it.

THE WEDDING RECEPTION: Enjoy yourself at the reception. Don’t let the night go by without dancing and having a goodtime. Every one of your guests will want to chat with you and tell you how great you look. This is important, but if you are not careful, the reception will be over before you know it. If you like to dance and want to be part of the celebration, make a conscious effort to get out there and ENJOY!

THOSE "PLAYED OUT" WEDDING SONGS: Many people are sick of songs like "Celebration" and "Mony Mony" and if you definitely can’t stand songs like that, by all means, tell your DIsc Jockey and insist that they not be played. There are hundreds of awesome party songs and four hours is a short time; you shouldn’t have to sit through something you hate during your own wedding. If you don’t care either way, give your DJ some leeway because sometimes songs like that will do wonders to get a party kick started. And finally, if you love these songs, play ’em all! We always say, Celebration got "played out" for one reason and one reason only, it’s a fun party song!

PROPS AND GIVEAWAYS: Many DJ’s offer giveaways for your party (leis, sunglasses, hats, etc.) If you have a very elegant and classy vision for your wedding, consider saying no to this, even if they are included in the price. But if you lean towards a more fun and interactive style for your reception, giveaways are definitely the way to go. Disc Jockey’s worth their salt will know how to incorporate these things without losing the formality of your wedding day.

THE LAST DANCE: Ending a party is sometimes just as important as how you begin. And many couples like to select and personalize this moment to leave the right "last impression". If you select a slow song, the party will wind down with a romantic tone and many brides and grooms want it this way. Some couples select a nice slow song and some others ask us to replay thier wedding song. Either way is appropriate and will leave an impression that your party was all about the love between the newlyweds. Going out the door with an upbeat song is the other option and if you want to leave your guests with the impression that the "Celebration" went on all night, that’s the way to do it. Donna Summer’s "Last Dance" is an obvious choice, but we’ve had everything here from Green Day’s "Time of your Life" to Otis Day’s "Shout".
