DJ Breakdown: Wedding Party Introductions

There have been some epic wedding party introductions in the past, but whether you go all out and over the top or do a simple introduction, yours will be unique to you.

Music typically plays, but what you do will be fully up to you. Here are a few samples of format for a wedding party introduction.

The Whole Wedding Party

Most common practice is to introduce the whole wedding party. Typically bridesmaids and groomsmen are paired up and each pair is introduced together. This can either be just the bridesmaids and groomsmen or can include parents of the newlyweds and/or flower girls and ring bearers. Who you include is up to you, but this is the most traditional and most common introduction.

The Groups

With this version, you select a song for each of three groups. The first group is the parents of the newlyweds and they get their own song. The next group is the wedding party including a best man and maid of honor. The last group is made up of the newlyweds. Each group getting their own song to come out to. It's a fun way to mix things up.

Just The Couple

You may also opt to introduce only the couple that just got married. If there are too many people to introduce or you want to do things low key, it's still a good idea to have yourselves introduced into the reception. It's a time to be celebrated and it let's the wedding party and wedding guests know that things are about to turn up.

Which method is best?

There is no right answer here. Do whichever appeals to you most and consult with your wedding DJ, they should have so much experience with this that they can give some good recommendations. Whatever you do for your wedding party introductions... make sure it fits your style and that you have fun.
