WEDDING EVENT SONG IDEAS:
Choosing music for the various events throughout your wedding day may seem like a daunting task. But we've curated a series of Spotify playlists to help make the selection process much easier. Below, you'll find song ideas for each event that would occur during a typical wedding day. These are collections of tried-and-true songs compiled from previous clients and various entertainment companies across the country. These lists are certainly not the "be all, end all" of musical selections, but are being provided as a guide to help get your "creative juices" flowing and help you select songs that fit your personality and style.

PRO TIPS:
1. MAKE IT MEANINGFUL! Select songs that are particularly meaningful to you or that will help create the musical environment you're envisioning for your ceremony and/or reception.
2. CUT IT SHORT! You don't have to use the whole song. Songs may only be 3 or 4 minutes long, but it can feel like an eternity when all eyes are on you. It's ok to cut it short.
3. GET A LITTLE CLOSER! Position your DJ close to your dancing area. Closer proximity to the DJ encourages requests from your guests and keeps them on the dancefloor longer.
4. MIX IT UP! It's okay to have a bunch of different genres for the various events that occur during your wedding day. Don't be afraid to have a mix of pop, hip hop, country and more!
