Fewer interruptions
Group formal moments together so the dance floor does not repeatedly open and close.
Tool 01 · Wedding reception flow
Your celebration needs rhythm, not a stopwatch.
Set the key times and create a first run of show that protects the important moments without sacrificing the dance floor.
Step 1 · The essentials
When does it begin and end?
Use the times provided by your venue. The result is a starting point and should adapt to the actual pace of the evening.
What shapes the timeline
Delays rarely begin with the music.
Service, photographs, speeches and room changes directly affect the energy of the evening. Your DJ needs to know the plan and also be ready to adapt when reality moves away from it.
Realistic service
Coordinate the schedule with the venue manager, not only with an ideal scenario.
One point of coordination
DJ, photographer and venue should know the next cue before it happens.
