Your Wedding Reception Playlist

From old hits to the newest chart-toppers, we have selected some great songs you can include in your wedding reception playlist!

To make your wedding reception playlist fabulous, heat up the atmosphere by selecting some super-romantic songs! During your cocktail hour and dinner, opt for slower tunes which will create ambience and make everyone’s heart melt while indulging in delicious food and wine. Be extremely romantic when choosing your first dance song, pick something sweet and dramatic for the cutting of your cake, and then pump up the volume and play something really energetic to get your guests on the dance floor and dance the night away!

The key to making a great wedding reception playlist is mixing up old and new and offering something for all age groups. You want everyone to hear something they love including your young cousins and friends, your parents and your grandparents, so throw in some classic jazz, play some old rock and roll, go all the way to the hits which are currently topping the charts and sprinkle it all with some all-time favourite ballads. Love Is In The Air by John Paul Young will get everyone to the dance floor, Beyonce’s Single Ladies will address all the single girls in the crowd, and you can greet your family with We Are Family by Sister Sledge.
