Wedding Ceremony & Reception Music Discussions

Final Meeting with DJ

My final meeting with my DJ is tomorrow (getting married in 2 weeks!!) 
What is the norm for the outline of the reception... cake cutting, speeches?
When we get introduced we are going right into our dance, then eating dinner.. but after that i am not sure what should go next. Every site i search says something different.
I have my song choices picked out-- but what are your choices for the garter/ bouquet toss?

    I would talk to your DJ about the order of events. Ours had a suggested itinerary but let us do what we wanted. We did ours different than yours in that we did not have the first dance right away, but I can give you a brief rundown of ours if you want:

    WP/bride and groom entrance
    salads served
    The toasts
    dinner served
    Cake cutting
    First dance/parent dances
    Dance floor open for about an hour, then the tosses/cake served

    For your next question, these were our toss songs:

    Bouquet toss: "I Know What Boys Like" by the Waitresses
    Garter retrieval: "Hot for Teacher" by Van Halen (I'm a teacher)
    Garter toss (H's choice): "Sexy Back" by JT
