    Isn't this something your Dj does?

    Are you not having a DJ?

    If not, typically a playlist will tell you how many hours it is. Otherwise, do the math. A song is say, 3.5 minutes, there are 360 minutes in 6 hours...360/3.5=102.8 songs. So do 110 songs and you won't run out. Bam.

    @MzRosaLu- depends on your area. We had dinner at 6:30 and didn't shut down until after 2Smiley smile

    That's interesting! I've always known receptions to be about 4 hours, plus 1 more for cocktail hour. Must depend on the area.

    @Susan, do you have a DJ? This seems like something they should be able to figure out.
