Blue Fish 0 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'd like the names and artists of any songs or tunes which are good to play at weddings if you don't mind. Thank you Songfactors!! Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 hmmm... I used to be a mobile DJ (shocking, I know) and played weddings mostly. But that was 20-25 years ago... I imagine a lot of the same standards are in place... are you talking about wedding songs that are about love that can be dedicated to the bride/groom? Or songs that are good for dancing to at weddings where the whole crowd can have fun? Link to post Share on other sites
JuniorNB 0 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I've been a mobile DJ for twenty years. I, too, need to know which kind of songs you're referring to. Are you talking about "first dance" type songs or later-on-when-the-crowd-is-drunk types of songs? Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Fish 0 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Both first dance and Later on to keep everyone danceing and happy type songs. Some songs that are romantic would be good...but not to many as it's only two people getting married and not everyone else. Get the drift? Link to post Share on other sites

_Laurie_ 11 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Do the bride and groom have a favorite song they share?, that could be used for the first dance... Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The First Dance song at a wedding should be a song that's special to the bride and groom. No one can tell them what song they love, they pretty much have to pick it themselves. As far as the rest... since it's the older people who usually leave first, play the stuff they would like, which the younger ones can get into, also. Stuff such as "New York, New York" ~ Frank Sinatra, "Twist And Shout" ~ Beatles, and maybe some "Hokey Pokey" thrown in for the novelty affect (people love to be dorks and do this stuff at weddings). "Lady In Red" ~ Chris Deburgh, is (was) always a slow-dance favorite, and "Wonderful Tonight" ~ Eric Clapton. Then work in "Old Time Rock and Roll," ~ Bob Seger, "Do You Love Me" ~ Contours, "What I Like About You" ~ Romantics... But then I'm of the older variety of DJ... some things go out of style...

Blue Fish 0 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Do the bride and groom have a favorite song they share?, that could be used for the first dance... Yeah, Monty Pyhons Glaxay Song. They are NOT having that one as a first dance song. Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I just remembered another favorite: I Knew the Bride When She Used To Rock and Roll by Dave Edmunds. Link to post Share on other sites
JuniorNB 0 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Ok. these are NOT songs that I nessessarily like, but ones that I get many requests for when I DJ weddings. Celebration Oh What A Night(Dec. 63) Some Kind Of Wonderful Paradise By The Dashboard Light Dancing Queen I Will Survive Cha Cha Slide Hot In Here- Nelly Yeah- Usher Brick House Play That Funky Music. There are more, of course, but those will get the party started. Link to post Share on other sites

blind-fitter 0 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Most memorable music from my own wedding do... Madness "One Step Beyond" : I led a trail of who-knows-how-many nutty dancers snaking round the hall. Great laff! Mrs Fitter and I had specifically requested "Right Now" by The Creatures for our first dance, but the prat of a DJ went his own way and played "Walking On Sunshine" by Katrina & The Waves instead, to a less-than-ecstatic response...

Blue Fish 0 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 How close are the couple ? " Careless Whisper "- Wham , is a great slow waltz ... Very close. In answer to that! Thanks, that'll be a good one... They can both ballroom dance so it would be great to have some to Dance to in that way too. Though theres nothing wrong with drunks flinging there limbs around to other beats I suppose.. ah boy... Link to post Share on other sites
