Crowd Size & Dance Floor Energy

Big wedding? Great, you’ll have a plethora of guests always on the dance floor. Small wedding? Make sure your DJ knows what they’re doing.

There are fewer guests to fill the dance floor at a small wedding. The DJ needs to pay attention to their energy levels. If playing all fast songs for 45 minutes straight, the guests will get tired and head to their seats.

There are ways to let them rest while keeping them on the dance floor. Take down the energy by playing a sing-along such as “Friends in Low Places”; they’ll wrap their sweaty arms around each other and start swaying back and forth. Even a song with a slow-singable intro works, think “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor. Also, the DJ could simply change to a slower BPM like Hip Hop and then build the energy back up.
