Cocktail Hour & Early Dinner Music
The goal for this portion of the evening is upbeat, current, and social music that keeps energy moving naturally while saving the biggest dance floor moments for later in the party. Kids can absolutely start dancing during this time, but we’ll hold off on the highest energy tracks until open dancing officially begins.

  - Family loves jazz, but wants to avoid the room feeling too sleepy during cocktails/dinner
