Hi there,

As a wedding DJ I always recommend to think on your guests. What they will remember most about your destination wedding reception? It won’t be the food or the best man’s toast. It will be the music that made everyone get up and dance. That is why music is one of the most important things to think about.
Think what they like based on their age and where they live and add a couple those songs to your list. For example if a few guests are coming from Texas then a couple of country songs will make them dance. If your aunts are in their 50’s a few Disco songs will make them very happy.
And about the “classic cheesy songs” a couple of them won’t hurt and to be honest everybody loves them!
I’m not talking about the “Chicken Dance” I’m talking about “Brick House” or “Shout” for example and If you let the DJ play it at the right timing I guarantee you everybody will remember your wedding for life!!!
