DON'T RULE OUT THE MACARENA!
Think twice about that so-called "cheesy" group dances, the Macarena, Chicken Dance, Cha Cha Slide and the YMCA. These songs may be the only times that some of the guests get up on the dance floor and have some fun. You don't have to do the hokey pokey right after the […]

Choose the song for the first dance and some of the other reception events. Suggest to the bridal couple what artist and styles of music to avoid. A professional DJ will know how to “read a croud” and knows what to play and when so to keep […]

DO THE FORMAL TOAST RIGHT AFTER THE GRAND ENTRANCE.
