“With the wide range of ages and backgrounds at weddings, we believe that they key to a successful dance-floor is about taking the audience on a musical journey through time, across popular genres/eras from the past and present that all (or most) guests will know and enjoy. We like to kick things off with a handful of classic tunes for the older generations that are universally loved by young/old and then once grandma/grandpa get a bit tired and want to sit down for a rest, we switch into our more modern material (90’s jams, Rnb, today’s hits etc), and then as the momentum builds and the drinks are flowing we’ll kick it into some 80’s retro hits and classics at the very peak of the dance-floor to end the night on a high with everyone on the dance-floor (think sweaty hugging, sing-alongs, couple’s up on shoulders etc).”

“It’s all about the old classics that have been reinvented! So many GOOD DJ’s mix the songs in order to get your feet burning.
The oldies tunes overrule no matter who your guests are – old, young, culturally different, music lovers or not. The above list are sure to get the party going. Note: Ensure your DJ knows your style and has an idea of your guests and vibe before the day, they can then add to this list and play to suit the crowd!”

“Over and above the dance floor tunes, it’s important to think about the music that you want for each part of the day/night. A good DJ/musician will consider this and build the energy from soft/romantic during ceremony through to upbeat background vibes as people have their first drink during cocktail hour. As the evening progresses, you’ll want the suspense to build as people get tipsy and prepare to dance, which is why a good entertainer will build on these vibes right up to dance floor (and leave the sing-alongs for later in the night!)” Here’s their Spotify playlist if you want to jump straight to it!
