You want everyone to enjoy the music and to get up and dance.  Variety is the key.  While you may have several “favorite songs” you may wish to take care not to “over-program” the music.  Keep in mind your DJ is a professional.  Be sure to leave ample room for him to “read the crowd” and also play your guest’s requests.
