Hello George I would like thank you for doing a wonderful job in making my Wedding a dream come true. Dr. Habib

Check to see if we are available for your Wedding day.

Suggested Timing For Wedding Receptions

Cocktails: First event - as guests arrive.  This is may NOT be the same time as arrival of guests (bride & groom will still be at the church taking pictures).  Guests are known to simply arrive right after the ceremony regardless of your official time on the invitation.  This can affect the DJ start time depending on the location of cocktails relative to the DJ setup.  Note: Often, cocktails are held in a separate area than dinner & dancing.  If this is the case, we can provide music during this time, however our setup must be within 75 feet for us to be able to put 1 speaker in that area which we can later retract into the main room.

Introductions: Announced after cocktails and before dinner.  DJ will line up those who need to be introduced and announce each couple into the dining area.  If you would like to introduce parents who are divorced, here are some typical options:

• Introduce "Father of [Bride or Groom] and his wife, Mr & Mrs..."

• Introduce "Mother of [Bride or Groom] and her husband, Mr & Mrs..."

• Introduce "Mother of [Bride or Groom]" and "Father of [Bride or Groom]" separately without their respective spouses

• Introduce both parents as "Father of [Bride/Groom] and Mother of [Bride/Groom] Mr. [last name] and Mrs. [maiden name or new last name]

• Do not introduce them at all 

Blessing: Made before dinner.  Sometimes this is replaced by a welcome speech.

Toast: Before dinner OR with cake cutting.  Usually done by the Best Man and/or Maid of Honor

Meal: Served after blessing or toast

First Dance: Can be done immediately after introductions, then go into blessing, toast and meal OR  after the meal with 2nd and 3rd dances.  Typical combinations are as follows (See Suggested Music For Wedding Receptions):

• Bride & Groom

• Bride & Groom, then bridal party midway through song

• Bride & Groom, then open dance floor midway through song

Second Dance: Can be done after the 1st dance OR  after the meal to smoothly transition into open dancing.  Typical combinations are as follows (for song recommendations, see list below):

• Bride & Father

• Bride & Father, Groom & Mother midway through song

• Bride & Father- then open dance floor midway

• Groom-Mother entire song

• Bridal Party, open dance floor to all guests.  NOTE: Once you open the dance floor to all guests, it is a good idea to keep them there - do NOT go into another dance or special event or you will lose the momentum of dancing.

Third Dance:  Can be done after the 1st dance OR  after the meal to smoothly transition into open dancing.  Typical combinations are as follows (for song recommendations, see list below):

• Groom-Mother entire song
• Bridal Party, open dance floor to all guests.  NOTE: Once you open the dance floor to all guests, it is a good idea to keep them there - do NOT go into another dance or special event or you will lose the momentum of dancing.

Cake Cutting: Cut roughly 1 hour after dinner

Bouquet Toss: Immediately after cake cutting (while cake is being cut).  Don't wait 10-15 minutes later, or you may lose the momentum of dancing.

Garter Removal: Immediately after bouquet toss

Garter Replacement: Immediately after garter removal

Alternative Events:  Some bride & grooms to not want to do the traditional events listed above, or have certain situations which require a different set of events.  In that case, speak with our office or your DJ regarding the following alternatives:

• Centerpiece Giveaway
• Anniversary Dance
• Snowball Dance
