Reading a Persian wedding, hour by hour

A wedding is not a club night. The crowd spans three generations, and everyone must dance at least once. Here is the hour-by-hour map I work from.

Hour one: dinner logic

Volume low, familiarity high. This hour buys you permission for everything that comes later.

Hour two: the aunties test

If the aunties dance, everyone dances. Persian classics, re-cut and modernized — this is exactly why I produce my own remixes.

Hour three: the real peak

Not the last hour. Energy peaks while nobody is tired and nobody has left. Hold the ceiling here.

Hour four: the long landing

Bring it down in stages. The last track should feel inevitable, not abrupt.
