My advice to you is to tell the DJ to NOT take request.
I worked really hard on my playlist just to have it ruined by my family requesting bullshit.
they can take requests, but just tell them not to play them if they don't fit with the stuff you already picked. thats what we did. we also had a "DO NOT PLAY" list which was pretty much any new country bullshit, kid rock, reo speedwagon, john meloncamp and some other bullshit that we did not want to hear.
i think if you get a good dj and you let them know what kind of stuff you like, they'll keep it around that. requests are cool, but you just gotta let the dj know where you line is and not to cross it. you want your family and friends to have fun, so you have to play stuff they will dance to. i remember my brother telling me he was a little surprised that we didn't have more underground weird music and i had to tell him that it wasn't just a party for me, its a party for everyone.
also, that song "tequila" from peewee's big adventure gets everyone up. that one was a smash hit at my wedding.
