First dance, at a wedding is where the newlyweds take to the floor first, before anyone else has started dancing. Then everyone who wants to dance joins them.

I'm just not sure wether they're supposed to do the whole song just two of them, or if people just join in as and when they're ready.

I think the moral of the story must be: Never pass on a chance to pick up a cheap copy of the Dirty Dancing soundtrack album, if you come across one.

Thanx for the explanation but.. er, mate did you really think i didn't know what a first dance was? I was seeing if Stabitha had it covered.

From personal experience (4 figure money) i used to play 3-4 slow dances to start with. This gives not just the bride and groom the opportunity to dance at the beginning but gives everyone the opportunity to swap so to speak i.e groom with mother in law, then granny etc...

Tell him ( he didnt even invite you to the wedding anyway) that he has dropped you in it. Put the panick ball in his court. TBH I think the guy is a kunt for taking you for granted and for a ride. When he mentions a song just say i dont have it i am not a wedding dj and listen to him implode.

I could do this no problem

YouTube - t&a: wedding first dance - surprise...

or this one

YouTube - Wedding Dance First As A Couple FUNNY...

I just downloaded half a gig of 80s shite, add that to my apres ski shite and the ultimix shite and I think I'm ok. Just need a long mix for when I want a break/have to eat. Going to play some cafe del mar type chill out for eating I think.
Wedding djs get such flack for not being real djs but fuck that for a job, way harder than anyone gives it credit for.

So my plan is:

No requests for a starter
No 1st dance/whatever it is people at weddings do
Play some playlist auto crossfade 80s for the reception
Cafe del mar chill shizzle for eating
Back to the 80s for the party but slowly mix it up with some mash ting, avoiding 4/4 beats like the plague, or anything remotely near 125bpm.
Get the fuck out of there by midnight to catch the last train home.

What could go wrong except I just found out I left my only pair of shoes in belgium

do that
