Signature DJ Suggestion * :  If you do not want to hear those clanking glasses during dinner to have the bride
& groom kiss each other, why not request your Signature DJ to announce the following, “Ladies & Gentlemen, if you would like the bride & groom to kiss each other this evening, we would ask that you stand up at your table or approach the Disc Jockey, and proceed to sing a song with the word ‘love’ in it.”

Do not feel obligated to choose each and every song for the various formalities throughout the reception. The experience and professionalism of your Signature DJ can select an appropriate song based on the particular needs and styles of the bride and groom. Please refer to our website for numerous song suggestions for these categories.

Signature DJ Suggestion  * : As an alternate to the bouquet & garter ceremonies, why not try an elimination dance? Call all couples to the dance floor. Begin playing a slow song selection. Ask any guests not married to leave the dance floor, then couples marries less than 1 year, 2,3,10,15,etc. The last couple remaining on the dance floor is then presented with a bouquet of flowers from the bride & groom. These two couples then begin dancing to the next song, usually a slow selection.
