Dinner & Background Music

Supporting conversation, not demanding attention.

Dinner music plays during the meal — it should support conversation at each table without demanding attention.

Tips for choosing:

Keep the volume low enough for table conversation.
Mellow acoustic, jazz, and instrumental covers work best here.
Save your highest-energy songs for open dancing later.
A good DJ gently builds energy toward the end of dinner, leading into toasts and dances.
