The Best Songs Guarenteed To Get Your Party or Wedding Reception Started, And Keep Your Guests Onto The Dance Floor in 2025

Being a DJ for a wedding, party, and event means that you are the music expert and the person in charge of getting guests onto the dance floor. It's always best practice to find out from the hosts of the event, beforehand, which songs they want to hear during their event and which songs they have on their "must play" list.

Often times a host may rely on the opinion of the DJ for song recommendations and to help spark their ideas for what songs that should be played for their event.
As the DJ, your primary goal is to get the guests at any event onto the dance floor and to keep them out there.

It is even more important to play all the songs requested by the hosts of an event and prioritize their requests over yours, and over the requests of the guests at their event.
