Anniversary Dance (Optional):

This is a special dance for couples only. I will ask all of the couples to join the newlyweds on the dance floor for a beautiful slow dance. I will then announce the years of marriage to eliminate the couples off the dance floor until we get to the longest amount of years a couple has been a married couple. This couple then could offer words of advice to the newlyweds or we can just have a round of applause and a photo together for this memory. Your song choice:

Last dance set: Open dancing till the end of the evening. Any must-play songs or do-not play songs? (Optional: I can always pick songs for reading the crowd!)*

Last Dance / Final Song: Bride and Groom: The guest join the Newlyweds for their final dance of the evening. The song can be fast or slow but it must have a strong meaning and appeal to it. It is very important to end the night out very strong like a play or a show.*

Play List Section

Must-Play. These are songs you definitely want played no matter what .... given the time! Please limit your must-play list as much as possible to your absolute favorites. I also suggest keeping in mind your audience. THESE ARE SEPARATE FROM YOUR SPECIAL EVENTS (first dance, last dance, cake cutting, ect.) Title*

Cocktail Hour*

These are songs your definitely do not want me to play. List as many as you want. My goal is to make your night specials and enjoyable for YOU first, and then the crowd. If you allow guest to request songs and they re on this list, I will politely tell them I can not play them ("Sorry, I don't have that song in my collection," "Unfortunately we are running out of time," etc.).*
