3 Tips for An Outstanding First DanceThe first dance is one of the moments that transform weddings into fairy tales. Those wonderful minutes when you and your spouse hold hands and float across the floor is something you’ll never forget. And yet, it can be exciting or cause anxiety to some couples. So, what if you fall into the latter category? How do you solve it? Whether you’re experienced on a dance floor or a novice, there are a few pointers you should know regarding your first dance. Below are the most important ones! ● Select A Song That You Both Love
While it’s nice to choose a popular song or one that is “wedding appropriate,” don’t rely on these guidelines exclusively to make your decision. If a song you both enjoy isn’t suitable for a wedding, check for the acoustic version. Also, don’t be afraid to spice up your first dance; after all, it’s your big day, and your guests are there to share your story. ● Be Sure to Keep It Short Weddings are celebrations, and it’s understandable why you’d want to keep your first dance going for as long as possible. But it’s only fair that you cut the song short. We say this because if your first dance runs long, it can spoil the mood. So, instead, aim to keep your guests excited so they’d join the party after the reception! ● Consider Your Outfits When practicing for your first dance, be sure to think about your clothing as well. For example, wedding gowns with long trains, off-shoulders, fishtails, or mermaid designs might be difficult to dance in. To ensure you can dance in them, put on your shoes and try a few moves during rehearsals. Your first dance is incomplete without the right DJs, and that’s where we come in! We are DJ XTC Entertainment, a team of professional wedding DJs and entertainers in Toronto! We cater to couples of all backgrounds, and we believe we’re the best professionals for your big day because we value you and how special your day is. We’ll talk with you, understand what you want and ensure we play what reflects you as a couple. You’ll love the sheer variety of songs we’ll have for your wedding and even the after-party.

The Toronto Wedding DJ & Gravity Class Entertainment's owner Neal A. McFarlane gives you his Top Ten Tips for Planning the Perfect Wedding Reception.
Hi. I'm Neal McFarlane and I'm a 35 year veteran of the wedding and entertainment industry.
This is my top 10 tips for planning the perfect wedding reception. 1.Keep in mind that the guests are going to be where the wedding couple is. If you're on the dance floor, that's where your guests will be too. 2.Don't micromanage the timeline. We do want the order of events that are going to occur, but we don't need the exact time of each. 4.If there are older guests try not to sit them close or right in front of the speakers. 5.Don't put the DJ in an obscure corner or location in the room, they need to be close to the dance floor to be able to read the crowd. 6.If you have dance floor lighting you don't want to make it too bright. You don't want to blind your guests as they're dancing on the dance floor. 7.If you have a bar or a photo booth you want to keep them in the main room where the DJ is. You want to keep all your guests as close to the dance floor as possible. 8.When picking the songs for your wedding take into account not only your tastes, but the taste of your guests as well. 9.You always want to leave your guests wanting more. It's not your responsibility to entertain them until 2 a.m. 10. When picking your music you don't have to overdo it, pick 10 or 20 songs that you like and leave the rest to the DJ to fill in for you. If you have to cut corners on your budget don't skimp on the entertainment. That's one thing that will make or break your wedding reception. I'm Neal McFarlane and that was my top 10 tips for planning the perfect wedding reception. Looking For Ways To Make Your Wedding Truly Unique? Fill Out The Contact Sheet.

9 Tips For Wedding MC's
Here are 9 general Wedding MC Checklist categories the Wedding MC should follow in preparing for the wedding reception.
Meet with the wedding planners The wedding planners may be the parents of the wedding couple, the wedding couple themselves, or a professional wedding planner. One of your first tasks as Wedding MC will be to meet with the wedding planners to find out what is expected from you and to get information about the wedding reception. This is also where you will start preparing a tentative wedding reception agenda and wedding run sheet. Gather background information on the wedding couple The background information you obtain on the wedding couple will help you with remarks you make during the wedding reception. You’ll also want information about their childhood, courtship, and engagement. And you’ll want details about their forthcoming honeymoon. Gather background information on the speakers who will be making wedding speeches and toasts Unless the bride and groom ask you to give a Wedding MC speech or they specifically request no toasts or speeches, there will be other speakers who will give wedding toasts and wedding speeches. Usually the wedding speeches and wedding toasts will be made by the best man, the father of the bride, and the maid or matron of honour. Other family members including the Mother of the Bride, the Father of the Groom, and the Mother of the Groom may also be asked to make a speech or toast. The information you gather about the wedding speakers will help you introduce them during the wedding reception. Prepare the wedding reception agenda The reception agenda is your detailed timeline of events during the reception and will be prepared in consultation with the wedding planners. From the arrival of the wedding guests to the wedding speeches and toasts to the final farewell, this will be your guide to keep things running on time and smoothly throughout the reception. Prepare the wedding mc’s run sheet The wedding mc’s run sheet is much more detailed than the wedding reception agenda. For example, where the reception agenda will say “wedding speeches and toasts,” the run sheet will indicate who the speech or toast is to, the name of the wedding speaker, and background information for introducing the speaker. Prepare your material Now that you have your background material on the wedding couple and the wedding speakers it’s time to put everything together. You’ll need to prepare your Wedding MC speech, the Wedding MC Opening Speech, introductions for the wedding speakers, games for the audience, jokes and humorous stories, and anything else that is entertaining and keeps the wedding reception running smoothly. Prepare the Wedding MC Speech As the Wedding Master of Ceremonies or Wedding Toastmaster, you may be asked to give a Wedding MC Speech. Alternatively, if one of the wedding speakers is unavailable at the wedding reception, you may have to step in and give a speech. Check reception venue set up Ensure room set up and decorations are scheduled to be completed well before the wedding guests arrive on the day of the wedding. This is a critical detail. From the seating arrangements to lighting to catering to entertainers...everything must be checked to ensure things go smoothly throughout the wedding reception. Ensure your clothing is ready The wedding reception is a special and formal occasion. As a professional wedding emcee you’ll be expected to dress the part. Make sure your suit, tuxedo, or dress, and shirt or blouse are clean and pressed and your shoes are shined. There’s a lot more to being a wedding emcee that having a Wedding MC’s Checklist. But, the Wedding MC’s Checklist plays a vital role in helping you perform your duties professionally and keeping the reception events on track and on time. We would love to hear your thoughts .
