2 Tips to Having An Awesome Reception

October 18, 2016

If there’s one thing that Brian knows, it’s wedding receptions! We have had the pleasure of working with some of the most amazing couples over the years! From the smaller intimate ceremony and reception to the 300 guest weddings, we’ve done it all! Today we’re sharing 2 tips to having an awesome reception straight from our DJ, Brian.

Open Bar

We definitely recommend considering an open bar for your wedding reception. An open bar is great in helping your guest to loosen up. I’ve heard people say that sometimes they need a little liquid courage before they can hit the dance floor. From our experience, if you want your reception to be rocking until the very end, we highly suggest having an open bar! Even if it’s only open during cocktail hour and throughout dinner!

Choose the right genres

Choose genres of music that your guest love and will enjoy dancing to too! I think sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the songs that we listen to in the car and forget that those songs aren’t always the ones that make us dance! We’ve learned that cocktail hour and dinner are normally the best time for the more mellow and slower songs. All of the fun and upbeat songs are played when it’s time to open the dance floor for the party.

We hope that you guys find these tips useful when planning for your wedding reception!
