Menu or music, most couples prefer going the traditional route for the wedding. But right after the ceremony, the reception presents an opportunity to have some fun and show-off your couple style. While the music you choose will set the mood for the rest of the evening, it’s important to create a good first impression. Cue the entrance song.
“Pick a song that stays true to you and your new spouse,” suggests Subesh Patel, renowned as DJ Subz and founder of SKP Entertainment. The music expert’s process begins with “liaising with the couple to get a good understanding of their music tastes. Nine out of ten times a client has already heard our sets at previous events, so most often they trust in our music recommendations,” he adds.
Not limiting to just suggestions, DJ Subz always goes the extra mile to personalise the process. As he puts it: “We ask clients to think of memorable songs that their loved ones hold dearly. For example, their parents’ favourite song or a mutual favourite. This way we can announce and play them at the event without our clients having to let us know, meaning they can fully enjoy their special day. Our library includes new and old school Bollywood & Bhangra, Sufi, Bhajans, South Indian Beats, R&B, Hip Hop, Dancehall, Afro Beats, Garage, Drum & Bass, Dub, Reggaeton, French Rap, Mauritian Sega, Arabic & Iranian beats. We’re very popular for mixing desi beats with our old school Kisstory playlists,” he adds.
While he is all for personal tastes, we tapped in on DJ Subz’s expertise to share his top tracks that you can consider for your reception entrance.
