Most brides want to have an amazing wedding and getting all the guests dancing is a big part of that. If you feel your guests aren’t the dancing type you’ll want to have a plan for other ways to entertain them and create a memorable experience.
There’s a lot of reasons to want all your guests dancing, starting with dancing is lots of fun! Some of the funniest moments happen on the dance floor. We’ve seen a groom get so excited he took his shirt off right in the middle of the song! Having everyone engaged and having a great time makes the energy in the room really awesome. Once a couple people start dancing, the enthusiasm is infectious and the rest will follow. There’s something much more memorable about a room full of a dancing people and we are masters of making that happen. Here’s how:
Start Early
Having a full dance floor should begin the moment guests arrive. Create an inviting environment that gives them the party feeling without wanting to leave. This responsibility falls squarely on the DJ, not the banquet hall, they’re in the food business, not the wedding planner, their job is done. We work with you to create the right setting with lights and music that fits your budget. Don’t rely on anyone else to create the right setting.
Music Selection
Including everyone means music for all genres. Unless they’re tipsy, having guests who will dance to anything is rare. Most weddings have different groups of people who like what they like. A couple of times in the night those segments will intersect but you don’t want to leave the good times to chance! Who needs a party pooper coming up to you on the dance floor, stopping your party mode, to say goodbye because they’re leaving early? Not you. Choose music you know will get your guests dancing.
Bride and Groom Should Dance Till You Drop
It’s your party! Don’t let your groom disappear for half the night to do shots and smoke cigars in the parking lot. He should have gotten that out of his system at the bachelor party. You need to dance and so should your groom to set the tone.
The Grand Finale
You want the music to peak right before the end of the party so it ends on a high note. You want more? Have an After Party. If you wanted your wedding to be a drinking party, you’d invite everyone to a bar. End your party where most of your guests are still there and dancing. If your guests don’t truly care for your celebration, they’ll drop their envelope with your gift and leave early. Reward the guests that stay by including everyone and create some special surprises to keep them engaged. If you need help with this part, ask us!
