Bacchus Bistro wedding: is a Spotify dance party too much to hope for?
Hello everyone! This sub has been essential for planning my wedding, happening this fall—so thank you in advance! My partner and I are getting married at Bacchus Bistro and we thought it was wonderful that they present the budget-friendly option of not hiring a DJ, and creating Spotify playlists that the staff manage instead. We have opted for no DJ, but do want to have the option of dancing. Our attitude towards dancing is that it’s a nice to have; we are focusing more on the meal and cozy conversations, and have arranged to do the hora in the back garden for a bit of fun, but dancing above and beyond that we can take or leave.
My question is: Is it unlikely to turn into a dance party unless we have a DJ? Has anyone been to or hosted weddings there that had dancing and no DJ? How successful was it? Was it clear that there was a dance floor and was the atmosphere inviting enough to dance without a DJ? I know this is very crowd dependent but would appreciate any perspectives you’re able to provide.
Thanks everyone! 🙏🏼
