Timing is Everything
Coordinate with your DJ (emcee) and planner. The grand entrance should happen after guests are seated but before dinner. A well-timed entrance keeps the energy high and the event flowing smoothly.
Select Your Anthem
Your entrance music is your first statement as a married couple. Whether it’s a heartfelt ballad or an upbeat melody, our DJs will help you choose an entrance song that reflects your style and gets everyone excited as you enter the reception.
Order is Key
The wedding party members typically enter first, setting the stage for the bride and groom. Plan the sequence of bridesmaids, groomsmen, and any children in your party. A clear order ensures a seamless introduction.
Practice, Practice, Practice
Especially if you’re planning a unique or choreographed entrance, a quick rehearsal can make all the difference in executing your wedding entrance idea. Our DJs are there to guide the rehearsal and ensure everyone knows their cues.
Brief but Brilliant
Your entrance should be memorable but concise. Captivate your guests with a moment of excitement, then transition smoothly into the festivities.
Embrace the Moment
As you make your entrance, remember to smile and enjoy the moment. Your happiness is infectious, and your guests will mirror your enthusiasm.
Embrace Imperfections
Sometimes, things don’t go exactly as planned. If a misstep happens, take it in stride. Your guests will remember the joy and love, not the little hiccups.
