How to Keep Your Wedding Dance Floor Full All Night

Every couple wants the same thing: a dance floor that stays full from the first song to the last. Here is what actually makes that happen.

Put the dance floor in the middle of the room

Tables close to the floor keep guests near the action. A dance floor tucked in a far corner empties fast.

Open dancing right after dinner

Guests are fed, happy and ready. Long gaps of speeches and games after dinner drain the energy. Try doing toasts during or before dinner instead.

Lead by example

When the couple dances, guests follow. Stay on the floor for the first few songs after the dances open.

Mix the generations

Grandparents, parents and friends all want to hear something they love. A good DJ blends Motown, 80s and 90s, current hits and, for multicultural weddings, salsa, bachata, merengue and reggaeton so every family feels at home.

Trust your DJ to read the room

Share your must play and do not play lists, then let your DJ adjust live. That is where the magic happens.

Add lighting

Dance floor lighting and uplighting turn a bright banquet room into a party. Guests feel less shy when the lights go down.
