I was thinking of hiring a DJ for our wedding, but my sweetheart has me second guessing myself. He says he really dislikes dancing, but is willing to "sway back and forth" if I want music. I offered dance lessons, but he says that he's received instruction on dancing for plays/productions and he has been awful at it. I'm also not a huge dancer and rarely dance at the weddings I attend. I'm also a pretty big introvert.
We are having a brunch wedding. Most of the individuals coming to our wedding will be in their 40s-60s. We are serving mimosas and bloody marys, but that will be it in regards to alcohol if people need a cup of courage.
Do you find weddings without dancing strange? What on earth are we going to do with everyone after we eat and cut the cake? I would hate the idea of people leaving after just 2-3 hours with us. Our venue has a beautiful porch to relax on and talk, but it's not like 50-70 people can all hang out there. I will have giant jenga and cornhole for the children and our guests, but for those closer to 70, this might not be a great option.
I also would hate the idea of paying $700-$1000 for a DJ and have very few people dance. In looking at my guest list, there might be 5 or 6 couples that would be likely to dance, but I doubt they would keep it up for long. But maybe just having a DJ for background music would be nice?
Thoughts? Ideas?
