Tips & Warnings
Start the dancing by getting out on the dance floor with your new spouse because your guests may feel uncomfortable dancing before you do. Use your formal dances to build momentum - you've got their attention, now get them to their feet.
Explore the many eras of music history - play a variety of tunes that will appeal to a wide range of ages.
Ask your band to play music that reflects your heritage and that of your new spouse.

I hired a professional party starter for my friends wedding. This very realistic couple showed up to the wedding just like normal guests, and when the music started they just got up an started dancing. After they filled the dance floor they started to play brilliant dancing games like pretending to be a jockey, a spy and many other funny acts. They also came prepared with valid cover stories of how they knew the bride and groom. I will try and find their details but i think they were called Rich and Kate. This sounds strange but believe me it was so much fun. -
