There are several songs that are great contenders as last songs. It’s all in the mood that you want to set with your guests. A fast song will keep the energy high and alive, a sing a long works well too, and it gets everyone involved. Some couples opt for playing their first dance again, and inviting all guests to the dance floor, this works well. Finally, forming a circle and playing something like That’s what friends are for, works well with everyone locking arms. Your DJ could even loop the toasts from the beginning of the night back into the song.

What a way to end the night! There is no right or wrong. Talk to your DJ/MC during your planning meeting, they will help you.
