Your Dancing Disc Jockey

When you hire a disc jockey to play the music for your wedding, you are hoping they will help create a wedding reception that people will long remember.  You want a mix of music that will not only make the wedding couple happy, but will also appeal to a broad range of people, so when your guests are finally full from dinner, they have some motivation to get out on the dance floor and enjoy the party.

For some guests, the will to get out on the dance floor is there, but they might feel a little bit self conscious.  Uncle Herman might have been a great dancer in his day, and he’d love to get out there and show you he’s still got game, but he doesn’t know any of the new dances or steps, and it might keep him in his seat next to Aunt Henrietta instead of out on the dance floor enjoying himself.

This is where a qualified disc jockey comes in and plays a role in your wedding reception nearly as important as the music itself.  Before you book your disc jockey, ask if they will have someone on the dance floor, teaching your guests the dances.  Sure, you know the Electric Slide, but what about some of the other guests?  The Macarena might be old hat to the groom’s side of the family, but what about your Polka loving clan? 

Some disc jockey companies will actually provide you with two people to run the show.  One person will run the music – making sure the appropriate music is played at the appropriate time.  The other person is the entertainer.  He might be the master of ceremonies, and carry out some other wedding duties, but if you find a disc jockey that will step out on the dance floor and show Cousin Rita how to dance the Bristol Stomp, hang onto him as tightly as you are clinging to your husband-to-be.

Use your wedding planner, such as the ones at www.alohaislandweddings.com , to guide you in the right direction to find such a disc jockey.  It really does help make your party a resounding success if you can get everyone up and dancing and enjoying themselves.  Offering these semi-private dance lessons will make sure that none of your guests can use the excuse that they don’t know the dances.  This gives everyone the optimum chance to enjoy your wedding.
