The first hour sets the tone for the whole night. Our warm-up jukebox set is relaxed, recognisable and played at a volume where guests can still talk, catch up and get a drink.
It is a mix of soul, reggae, laid-back funk and classic rock that sounds great while the evening guests arrive and the room fills.
As evening guests arrive, during the buffet and before the first dance.
Every crowd. It is the default opening for most of our weddings and parties.

DJ tips
- Do not rush to fill the dance floor. A good warm-up makes the peak much bigger.
- This is a great place for your own personal favourites that are not really dance songs.
- Keep the volume low enough for conversation while food is served.

FAQs
Why not start with dance music straight away?
Guests need time to arrive, eat and relax. A warm-up set builds anticipation and makes the dance floor busier when it opens.
Can you play our own playlist during the warm-up?
Yes. Send us a list and we will weave your favourites in.
How loud is the warm-up?
Comfortable background level, so people can talk easily. We raise it gradually.
