RECEIVING LINE

Most often, the receiving line is done at the ceremony site, however; that is not always the case. Sometimes the Bride and Groom have a receiving line at the reception. The DJ will instruct everyone to stand in front of the head table (or wherever appropriate) after they are introduced. When everyone is in place, the DJ invites the guests to come forward and personally greet the wedding party.

DINNER

Light background music will be played while you and the guests are eating. If you want your own background music please provide CD or enquire with DJ.

THE TOASTS

Before or after dinner, when the guests are seated and the Wedding Party is at the head table, your DJ will introduce the Best Man and/or Maid/Matron of Honor who will propose a toast to the Bride and Groom before dinner.

In some cases, a dinner prayer will follow the toast. Your DJ will introduce the person who is giving the blessing.

BOUQUET/GARTER TOSS

Working with the photographer, when the Bride is ready to toss her bouquet, the DJ will ask the single women to come onto the dance floor. Immediately following the toss, the DJ asks the single men onto the dance floor. The Groom removes the garter from the Bride's leg and tosses the garter to the single men. At some receptions, the man and woman who caught the bouquet and garter come to the dance floor. The man puts the Good Luck garter on the woman's leg.
