    Epic Wedding Reception Without Dancing - E150

    Not every couple wants a packed dance floor, and that’s totally okay! In this episode of the Wedding Songs Podcast, Matthew Campbell of My Wedding Songs shares 3 creative ways to plan a wedding reception without dancing that still keeps guests entertained, engaged, and smiling all night long. From 30-minute themed music sets your DJ can mix live, to a fun “Who Knows the Couple Best?” trivia game that can double as Bingo, to turning the dance floor into a selfie station with a goofy photo contest and picture-themed songs.  These ideas will help you craft a celebration that’s just as unforgettable as any dance party.  Whether you’re planning a more low-key vibe, working with venue restrictions, or just want to do something different, tune in for practical tips and plenty of musical inspiration. Perfect for couples, DJs, and planners looking to break the mold! A Word About My Wedding Songs My Wedding Songs is a resource for wedding music planning.
