If there was a DJ at that reception, he wasn't doing his job well - not well at all!

As a professional DJ (ADJA member), the majority of events I do are wedding receptions. I make sure to work out with the bride (& sometimes MOB) not only the order of the reception events, but an approximate timeframe as well. I make a point of sharing this with the photographer/videographer ahead of time & then gently remind the bride when it's time to throw the bouquet.

Worst reception I had to endure was one I only did because the MOB was a friend of my wife. I won't go into the whole litany of disasters that went on except to say that the low point had to be when the drunken groom decided to shed his clothes & skinny-dip in the pool at this backyard wedding/reception. Not surprisingly, the "marriage" lasted little more than a year.
