This issue certainly comes up from time-to-time, and we will work with you and your family members on a plan that you feel will be appropriate for your wedding reception.
In our experience, it is best to confront these issues in advance to make sure that everyone is “on the same page” with similar expectations. It is very uncomfortable for a DJ (or anyone) to be stuck between a bride or groom and their mom, each giving different instructions.
Please let us know about any family dynamics we should be aware of and how we can support you in dealing with special circumstances.
