Wedding Reception Rules?
Break Them, Follow Them, Just Make Them Yours!
Let’s talk about your wedding reception, the party, the vibe, the celebration. The part where the nerves start to settle, the music gets louder, and the real magic begins.
But here’s something I tell every couple I work with: there are no rules. Or at least, no rules you have to follow.
Sure, there’s the traditional timeline. The grand entrance, speeches, sit down meal, cake cutting, first dance and bouquet toss. And if those traditions speak to you, that’s amazing. They can be beautiful moments filled with emotion and meaning.
I’ve helped countless couples bring those timeless touches to life with music that hits just right and keeps the energy flowing. If you want the classic format with a DJ who understands how to make every moment shine, I’ve got you covered.
But what if that’s not your style?
Don’t fancy a first dance? That’s absolutely fine. Not everyone wants the spotlight, and it doesn’t mean the party won’t kick off in style. Instead, let’s start the night with a dancefloor-filler that gets your guests up with you. Or choose a family or friendship anthem and invite everyone to join you from the get-go. One of my favourite alternatives is a party track that brings everyone together instantly and sets the tone for the night.
Speeches can feel daunting too. You don’t have to do them all at once or even do them at all. Some couples split them up between courses, others hand the mic over to someone unexpected later in the evening, and a few skip them completely. There’s no set formula. If you want a few words said without the pressure, I’ll help make it feel casual, natural, and completely stress-free.
Even your meal doesn’t need to follow tradition. You can go for relaxed sharing platters, food trucks, or a cocktail-style setup with small plates and mingling. Music can still accompany the moment. From acoustic rock anthems to chilled Ibiza beats, I’ll curate a background that reflects your vibe perfectly. You can even create special moments between courses, like a surprise song or toast with a twist.
And here's something else to think about...
Some couples don’t want the party vibe at all. They want to get married, then sit down to an incredible meal with close friends and family, with their favourite tunes playing in the background. A beautiful, relaxed celebration with no pressure to dance – though that doesn’t mean a spontaneous first dance or even a singalong between courses can’t happen! If that's your version of perfect, I’ll help create the soundtrack to match.
Not into cutting a cake or tossing a bouquet? No worries. Let’s create a moment that actually means something to you. Whether it’s a group shot on the dancefloor, a shared cocktail toast, or a surprise performance, we’ll build something unique.
And if you want to blend tradition with a twist, the fun really begins. A first dance halfway through the night, a remix of your childhood favourite for your entrance, or surprise entertainment to wow your guests. You name it, and I’ll make it happen.
As someone who has spent years working in live broadcasting and event production, I know how to keep everything flowing, but even more importantly, I know how to adapt to make your day feel effortless.
Whether your reception follows every tradition, bends a few, or breaks them all, I’ll make sure it’s seamless, fun, and unforgettable. This is your day, and it should sound, feel, and flow exactly how you want it to.
