Apply this answer to your own event
Whether “When should I send the first-dance song file?” has a single answer depends on your event — the type, the exact room and guest count, the programme, how equipment and the emcee role are split, the access window, and who is authorised to approve a change. Apply the answer above to those facts rather than treating it as universal.
Facts that can change the answer
- Exact date, venue and room
- Guest arrival, formal programme and finish time
- DJ, emcee, venue and production responsibilities
- The one exception or unknown that may change the answer
