So I’m getting married and cant figure out what kind of music to use for the reception. I don’t wanna play old people music that noone can/will dance to. Me and my Fiancee will both be 23 when we get married. can we play what we normally listen to like make it like club music just not as raunchy?
yeah i was gonna use edited versions and i was gonna mike it like some slower songs that everyone can enjoy then some songs thats gives it the party vibe… oh and i def wont do the chicken dance, maqaranna(spell) or any of those other stupid typical wedding songs… sorry the 80′s and 90′s are over those songs need to stay there lol
Its Your Wedding.
Play What You Want To Hear.
Its Your Day : ]
Just don’t play anything with dirty words.
anything and everything you like.
just make sure you have the chicken dance.
Yeah its your wedding. Maybe you can have the same type of music u normally listen to but make sure the DJ plays the edited/radio versions so u wont offend anybody.
You should have a collection of your favorite songs, but also have some across-the-board popular dance music, so that your guests will also enjoy themselves. If you have invited a number of “old people” I would suspect they will be quite generous with their gifts to you, and will be most grateful if you return the favor by making sure they have a good time dancing at your reception. You and your friends should also have music you can enjoy together. Variety is the key for this type of occasion.
A good host always considers their guests so think about your guests. You’ll want to please a large variety of people in probably many different age groups. Speak to your DJ or band leader and ask for their guidance. He will probably suggest certain types of music for specific times during the reception. If you have a good wedding DJ or band they will know what to play. Heed his advice.
LINKIN PARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Oldies are popular in my town. It’s great for any age group and the dance floor is always full.Here are some we like:
1. Jump in the line(shake, shake senora)- Harry Belafonte
2. La Bamba- Los Lobos
3. Tutti Frutti- Little Richard
4. The Loco-motion- Little Eva
5. Rockin’ Robin- Bobby Day
6. Le Freak- Chic *(this was a ify)
7. Celebration- Kool and the Gang
8. Great Balls of Fire- Jerry Lee Lewis
9. I can’t help myself (sugarpie, honeybunch)- The Four Tops
10. Respect- Aretha Franklin
11. Good Lovin’- The Rascals
12. I’m a Believer- The Monkees
13. You really got me- The Kinks
14. Do Wah Diddy Diddy- Manfred Mann
15. YMCA- Village People
16. Bunny hop-??
17. Hokey Pokey- Brave Combo
18. The chicken dance-??
The best for last:
Shout- Isley brothers
its your wedding so i don’t believe that there can be inappropriate music as long as you like it, but if your lookin for suggestions you can’t go wrong with paradise by the dashboard lights its a fun song and fun to dance to.
I would suggest to have a DJ. An experienced DJ will have a full playlist which is a mix of modern and classic dance music, something for everyone.
If you are doing your own music here are some sites with the top party music. I would suggest to play a wide mix so everyone has a good time. Also the Electric Slide, Macarena, YMCA are popular choices to get people on the dance floor.

Keep in mind the comfort of ALL your guests. If you have a fair number of people your parents’ age, they will run screaming from the room if you play club music. They might even go psycho and start beating people. (OK, maybe that would just be my own reaction.)
Try for something middle of the road. After about 11:00 or so, many of the older crowd will go home and your DJ can start to introduce more contemporary music.
