How to keep the dancefloor full - with London's DJ Dave B

London wedding DJ, DJ Dave B, answers your burning question...

We're worried about keeping our guests on the dancefloor all night. How do we make sure the DJ plays the best mix of tunes?

My first step is to have a chat with my couples about the style of music they're into so I can begin to create a playlist. I also suggest that when couples send out their invitations, they include the option to make a song request on the RSVP; this gives the DJ a great platform to start with and will keep the dancefloor rocking.

I build a playlist to include important tracks such as the entrance songs for the ceremony and reception as well as the first dance. I'll always go through this with the couple to ensure they're happy. On the night, we're always ready to read the crowd and switch genres so all guests are catered to. An experienced DJ will create an upbeat party atmosphere to get everyone joining in.
