remember when we said that we take this dj stuff seriously?

it turns out we love to have fun and incorporate games into your wedding reception!

When it comes to weddings, there is never a shortage of traditional activities. Here is a couple traditional events that can take place during your reception along withe a couple non-traditional games to potentially include.

bouquet toss

bouquet toss

The bouquet toss tradition is one that has existed for hundreds of years and evolved over time. In this tradition, brides toss their bouquet over their shoulders and into a group of single women. Whoever catches the bouquet is supposedly “next” to walk down the aisle. 

garter toss

The garter toss tradition is one that has existed for hundreds of years and evolved over time. In this tradition, the bride sits in a chair while her groom removes a garter from around her leg. The groom tosses the bride’s garter over their shoulders and into a group of single men. Whoever catches the garter is supposedly “next” to walk down the aisle.

the shoe game

shoe game

This is one of our favorite wedding games to play. The newly-married couple are seated on chairs in the middle of the dance floor, back-to-back. Both of the newly weds remove their shoes and exchange one so that  The newly weds will have one of their own shoes and one of their partner’s shoes. 

During the game, a series of questions are asked, and the answer is either “the bride” or “the groom” (same sex couples will be referred to by their proper pronouns, of course). The newly-wedded couple answer each question asked by our DJ by holding up the shoe of the correct answer. For instance, if the question was “Who usually cooks breakfast” and the answer is the groom, they should both hold up the groom’s shoes. Couples can either plan the questions ahead of time and have them written down somewhere, have the audience shout questions out, ask the guests to write questions down on paper, or use a combination of all three methods.

The point of the game is really just another way for your guests to get to know the couple a bit, but most of all, it’s for laughs and comic relief.  The best part was that the couple typically doesn’t know the questions ahead of time, which really adds to the fun!

anniversary dance

anniversary dance

Our DJ announces that it’s time for ALL married couples to get up and join the bride and groom on the dance floor. After the first bar or two of the song, we announce, “Anyone married less than 6 hours, please take a seat.” Everyone will get a chuckle out of watching the bride and groom leaving the dance floor. After a few more bars we will announce, “Anyone married less than 1 year take a seat.” After a few more bars we will announce, “Anyone married less than 5 years take a seat.

We keep doing this for each of the following marks, less than… 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, 25 years, 30 years, 35 years, 40 years and so on until one couple is left standing. Once the last couple dancing has been identified, we ask the crowd to, “Please put your hands together and give them a round of applause.” If this is not already being done. Next we announce to the last couple dancing, “Since you obviously know what it takes to make it work, would you please give the bride and groom some advice on a long happy marriage?”

Your guests will love hearing their words of advice as well as recognizing a long-lasting love.

Shout out to Absolute Music for doing a fantastic job on music for the ceremony and the dance, and also the photo booth. These guys were so easy to work with, made decisions seamless and the photo booth was an added bonus for the wedding. Adults and kids alike had fun with the props and getting pictures taken. We had the pleasure of working with Shane and he was so nice and helpful. Give them a call for your next event, you won't be disappointed.
