I am often amazed by seating charts and how they come to be. Most of the time, the bride and groom count on the caterer to help them with the layout of the room………..

But WAIT! Maybe the Bride and Groom should listen a bit more to the DJ. I mean, after all, the DJ is right in the thick of things and knows how a room responds to layout.

The BIG MISTAKE people make is to seat the older guests right next to the DJ. That never is a good idea, but it happens all the time. The best idea is not to seat any wedding guests right in front of the DJ or speaker system. If the room is packed and seating is limited, at least seat the younger, party crowd near the DJ for more favorable results.

My recommendation…. Take a walk thru in your reception room with a seating chart and try to visualize your friends and family sitting where you have assigned them.  It may give a whole new prospective to your seating chart.
