Two strobes metered at F/9 usually overpowers all lighting, even video lights.
DJ's generally respect you if asked to not use certain lights for the first dance.

Mostly I overpower with flash, some I shoot available light for the effect, and some I shoot available light and just convert to B&W. I live in Baltimore, so everyone always has purple (Ravens) uplighting. Especially in the fall. -Adam

Certain times I will overpower with off camera flash. One point no one has covered yet: When it comes to how the DJ light effects your metering...shoot in manual. During the reception, there is no other option for me.
