    Regarding the music flow comment below, you get more bang for your buck and your using wedding and alcohol dynamics to your favor. I find mixing it up all night works best for me personally. This way I am getting buy in from all crowds all night. They’re more likely to “work with me” if i am working with them.

    Food for thought… if you keep the music mixed up all night and don’t subscribe to the theory of playing older earlier in the evening and the younger stuff later you are more likely to have more people in the room come closing time. Also consider that the younger more pretentious group is less pretentious after a few beers. What this means is you can more likely have them dancing to old stuff later AND therefore have both crowds (young and old) happy longer.

    Neckties 101

    The bride and groom go out on the floor and if you want to dance with them you have to pay them money. It’s an old school tradition but I don’t think it’s worth it to kill the party momentum so you can make an extra 50-100 bucks. It’s my opinion - that’s all. Some cultures/ethnic groups however fork over some serious dough. In those cases you have to weigh out the risk-reward ratio.

    There’s also one thing above anything else that makes a great wedding reception. It sounds cheesy, but it’s true. It’s the love and energy in the room from your guests. You can’t buy it, fake it or force it. The truly great wedding receptions that I’ve been to all have this in common. You don’t even need alcohol if you have people there who are genuinely excited about your marriage (not just your wedding). Guests who aren’t pumped about your special day won’t dance no matter what.

    I’ve been a Wedding DJ for 14 years. This guy is spot on.

    Also: Cater to your older relatives and kids during the beginning of the dance portion. Have the DJ play The Electric Slide and YMCA, even if you hate it. Aunt Fern will be dancing to it and you can chat with your guests instead. A good DJ knows that the later in the evening, the younger the crowd gets and will switch over to more contemporary music after Aunt Fern has gone home (usually between the cake cutting and bouquet toss).
