Want a dancefloor that stays busy all night? It starts with a clear energy arc — gentle during dinner, confident in the early evening, then rising to a joyful peak.
Read the Room — Then Shape It
Every wedding has its own rhythm. During dinner I'm tracking the hum of conversation, ages, and which tables are already tapping along. That scan informs the tempo lift after speeches.
From Warm-Up to Peak — The Three-Phase Flow
Phase 1: Warm-up. Feel-good songs that cross generations, loud enough to energise but easy to talk over.
Phase 2: Lift. Tighter transitions and medleys that shorten gaps and build momentum.
Phase 3: Peak. Big sing-alongs and high-energy floor-fillers — with brief breathers so guests don't burn out.
Requests Without Derailing the Night
Requests are welcome, but they slot where they serve the arc. If a request clashes with the current energy, I'll bank it for a smarter moment.
Slow Songs That Keep the Floor Busy
Placed well, a slow track gives everyone a breather and pulls new guests in. The magic is timing — not too early, not too late.
Finish Strong — Land the Last 30 Minutes
The finale blends anthems with shared nostalgia so multiple generations stay together on the floor and leave on a high.
