Jeremy Vuolo Says that Jason Duggar Had Empty Dance Floor at His Wedding Because Duggars ‘Don’t Dance’ 

Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Jeremy Vuolo are getting candid about the dancing — or lack thereof — on display at Jason Duggar’s recent wedding.

The couple shared on their latest The Jinger and Jeremy podcast episode that the dance floor at Jeremy’s wedding to Maddie Grace was clear most of the time, except for when the DJ played specific hits.

“Hardly anybody was dancing,” Jinger, 30, recalled. “So, there were some times when the DJ would turn on a song and [the dance floor] would be full ‘cause it was, like, the ‘Cha Cha Slide’... he would turn it on ‘cause it tells you exactly what to do.” 

“So, all these people would get out there and do it, and then he’d turn on the next song and there would be no one out there ‘cause no one knows how to dance or they don’t want to get out there and be the only one,” she added.

Jeremy, 37, said that the DJ at the event appeared “confused” after Jason and Maddie opened up the dance floor to the rest of their wedding guests after their first dance and no one went up. He added that the DJ even played hits like Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline,” but there were no takers.

"I went up to him at one point and I said, ‘Bro, do you have any idea what you got into at this wedding?’ And he said, ‘No, but it’s wild,’ ” Jeremy shared. 

“And then, I said, ‘Dude, you just need to know, like, they don’t dance. This is the first dance floor at a Duggar wedding,’ “ he continued. “And he had no idea.”

Jinger said she didn’t dance because she didn’t know “what I’m doing” on the dancefloor, but noted that the guests did have some fun when the DJ would play “Cha Cha Slide,” “YMCA” or other songs with some dance “instructions” in the lyrics.

“When there [were] instructions for how to do the dance, everybody went out there and it was a lot of fun,” she recalled.

“[Dancing is] not part of the [Duggar] culture at all, and so it was just interesting,” she explained elsewhere in the podcast. “That was an experience.”

The former reality star tied the knot with Maddie in a fall ceremony joined by 300 of their closest friends and family on Oct. 3, 2024, at The Estate at Sweetwater Creek. 

Several of Jason’s family members took part in the wedding party including brothers James, Justin and Jackson and sisters Johanna, Jennifer, Jordan and Josie, the youngest Duggar. Jedidiah also served as best man.

The pair first connected on Instagram in December, 2023, before Jason popped the question a few months later in August. They shared a joint Instagram post showing snaps from the proposal on the beach, where he created a romantic setup with candles, white flowers and a lit-up sign reading ‘Will you marry me?’”
