A TYPICAL SWEET 16 TIMELINE: Most events follow the same general timeframe and schedule. Our typical breakdown (assuming an 8PM event with a length of 4 hours) is included below. This is a guideline and may vary for each event and hall. We recommend that the time on your invitations be one half hour before your actual start time. Guests often arrive late for events and this will ensure that you will be able to start your event right away!

8:00 to 8:20PM

Event commences and guests begin to arrive.

Depending on the type of event, we will be playing either current radio hits (if the party is dominated by a younger crowd or if it is less formal) or cocktail music (if the party is more formal).

8:20 to 9:00PM

Introductions and Formalities

The evening formalities begin with a grand entrance for the parents, the dais, and finally, the Sweet 16 girl! This is usually followed by a dance with Sweet 16 girl and her father or other family member. The dance is often followed by a toast. Afterward, the dance floor will be opened for the first music set to generate some energy among your guests before dinner.

9:00 to 9:45PM

Dinner is Served

Our Emcee will ask the guests to kindly find their seats. If the event is a buffet style dinner, we will call the tables up to the buffet in numerical order starting with the dais and tables with immediate family.

9:45 to 10:30PM

Open the Dance Floor

With dinner over, we will now open up the dance floor again for your guests. During this next hour of music, we will play various styles, including dance music, latin, disco, and hip-hop. If you or your guests happen to like one particular style of music, the sets will reflect that style. If desired, the dance set will also include several popular party dances, such as the Dollar Dance and the Cha-Cha Slide.

10:30 to 11:15PM

Candle Lighting Ceremony

The candle lighting ceremony typically runs for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Cake, coffee, and dessert is served at the conclusion of the ceremony.

11:15PM to 12:00AM

Last Dance Set

This segment of dancing will consist of our newest and most high energy dance music to pump up the crowd depending on your preferences. We will finish with a closing by our MC thanking the guests and wishing them well on behalf of you and Dynamite Party Productions, Inc.
