This sets a positive tone for your evening and makes your guests feel comfortable right from the start.

Finally, another slow song is played and all guests are invited to join in.

Next the party really begins with dance music starting with light rock, beach, Motown, 50/60's, country, and builds to classic rock, disco and then top forty dance. This gives your entertainer the freedom to determine the preferences of the crowd. We want to make 'em dance! Sets of slow songs are alternated with more uptempo pieces throughout the evening. Please advise if you prefer a different approach. _________________________________________________________________________

Your SPINNERS entertainer will take requests and attempt to work the songs into the program for the evening. Please indicate NO here if you do not want us to take requests. ______

BOUQUET AND GARTER TOSS
The bouquet and garter toss is typically staged in the middle of the dance portion of the reception. (we will operate this to work with your photographer's schedule). Would you like to have someone cue us when you are ready to throw the bouquet? _______ If so, your entertainer will need to know where to ask the single ladies to assemble. Once the bride is in place, he will either ask you to close your eyes or turn your back to the single ladies. Then he will "count down" the toss to heighten the suspense.

The garter toss follows. A chair is placed on the center of the dance floor and the best man is prompted to escort the bride to this seat. She sits with her legs crossed and facing the audience. Meanwhile your entertainer as instructed the single men to assemble in the appropriate area. Do you want the entertainer to taunt the audience with a question like "would you like the groom to remove the garter with his hands or with his teeth?" (Please indicate YES or NO here to indicate if you want this done). _______

If both the lady who caught the bouquet and the gentleman who caught the garter are adults, the entertainer will prompt the gentleman to place the garter on the lady's leg, and a slow dance song is played to spotlight the two of them. (Please indicate NO here if you do not want this done)_______
