No moment defines the celebration quite like the dance floor. It’s where stories unfold, memories are made, and energy becomes contagious. Veteran DJ Scott Sheehy, better known as DJ Spin Diesel, has mastered the art of reading a crowd and creating nights guests never forget.
Here, he shares his top five tips for keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long.
1. You set the tone.
If you’re out there dancing, everyone follows. Energy is contagious — guests take their cue from you.
Pro Tip: Want a packed dance floor? Stay on it. When the couple leads the way, everyone else follows.
2. Don’t over-program.
List a few “must plays,” not 50. Allow your DJ creative space to read the room — that’s where the magic happens.
Pro Tip: Think vibe, not playlist. Share your taste and vision, then trust your DJ to work the crowd.
3. Mix eras, not just genres.
The best parties blend nostalgia with now.
Pro Tip: Drop a few classics early to get every generation dancing together — it’s an instant icebreaker.
4. Let your personality show.
Your wedding should sound like you — not a template. The dance floor should tell your story.
Pro Tip: Pick one unexpected song that means something special to you as a couple. That’s the moment guests will remember.
5. Trust the vibe.
The best nights happen when you let go and enjoy the moment. Connection beats perfection every time.
Pro Tip: Stay present. Forget the cameras, lose yourself in the music, and live the memory as it happens.
