The Grand Entrance is typically associated with the dinner portion of the wedding. This usually involves the DJ organizing the wedding party prior to dinner and playing music for the wedding party to be announced as they enter the room and take their seats at the head table. Most often this tends to be two songs, one for the wedding party and a second for the bride & groom (the entire song is not usually played). Music selections can be anything you want, but typically they are faster selections and “fun” for everyone. 

The Grand March is nearly exactly like the Grand Entrance only it occurs about half-way through the night. The two songs selected are typically a faster, fun song for the processional as the wedding party “parades” in a circle a few times around the dance floor, forms an arch with their arms and the bride and groom proceed through the arch. Followed by a slow song for the wedding party to dance to and switch partners giving the bride and groom an opportunity to dance with each person in the wedding party. It should be noted: Wedding etiquette says it is “socially acceptable” for guests to leave once the Grand March is over. To leave prior to the Grand March was considered to be rude. An earlier Grand March may result in your guests leaving sooner than expected. A later Grand March may result in an unhappy Grandparent or tired/cranky kids. Hence, why it is usually about half-way through the dance.

The decision to do both is entirely up to you. It is not uncommon to invite guests to the ceremony, dinner, and dance separately. Thus, reducing some expenses on the cost of dinner. If you have a split guest list, you will likely want to do both. If not, then the Grand March is redundant, and you can select one or the other. Today, it is more common to do a Grand Entrance only .

These two special dances are usually done in succession. Music is played to gather all the single ladies on the dance floor. The bride takes a position on the dance floor, closes her eyes and the groom spins her around, stopping her facing away from the group. The DJ initiates a countdown and the bride tosses the bouquet in the air. For smaller groups, you may want to include all ladies, but tradition is just single ladies.

There are two steps to the garter toss. The removal of the garter from the bride’s leg and the actual tossing of it. The best man (or a chair, or a combination of both) kneel/sit on the dance floor. The bride sits on the best man’s knee (or lap) and music is played while the groom removes the garter. Music is then played to gather all the single men on the dance floor. The groom takes a position on the dance floor, closes his eyes and the bride spins him around, stopping him facing away from the group. The DJ initiates a countdown and the groom tosses (not “snaps” like a rubber band) the garter in the air. For smaller groups, you may want to include all men, but tradition is just single men.

The lady and gentleman who caught the bouquet and garter are then introduced and share the next slow song. As tradition has it, they are the next two to get married. The entire group is asked to join after a moment or two

The dollar dance is often done because it is a tradition in some families. It originated a long time ago and was designed to help get the young couple “on their way” with a few dollars in their pockets. 

I have seen variations on this. Often a $10, $20 or even $50 dance. However, the money was all donated to a charity that the bride and groom supported. (Domestic Violence Shelter, Humane Society, etc.).

The best man and the maid of honor take a position on the dance floor, collecting the money, and music is played for the bride and groom to get to dance with guests..

All couples are invited to the dance floor to share a song or two (or three) depending on the size and age diversity. The DJ will typically start with all couples less than a year together, then progress to 3 years, 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, etc.. When the last couple is still on the dance floor, they are congratulated, asked for the “secret” to their longevity and offer words of encouragement for the new married couple.
