What Are The Best Songs To Play At A Wedding Reception
The music is a vital element in the success of your wedding reception. You will need to
choose the type of music you want played for your introduction, for when you are dining and
music that will get everyone up and dancing. This can be a tall order, what with everything
else you have to worry about for your big day. It does not have to be a big deal. You can
easily hire a band or a DJ that is well versed in wedding etiquette and will know just the right
songs to play at just the right time.
Other couples may take the music selection more seriously and take a larger part in choosing
what the guests will listen to during the wedding reception. The music is an important part of
the mood you are trying to create. You can have gentle, classical music selections playing
during the cocktail hour. For your bridal party introduction you can choose such song
selections as The Theme from Rocky, Get This Party Started by the artist Pink, or Chariots of
Fire.
If the bride wants her wedding to be like a fairy tale a selection can be Cinderella’s Royal
Fanfare. If the groom is a sports fan, especially of football, you can play the Theme from
Monday Night Football to herald the arrival of your bridal party. You can choose a different
song to announce the first formal appearance of Mr. & Mrs. Such as A Moment Like This, All
I Have, All I Ask of You, or Forever I Do by the incomparable Lou Rawls.
Of course your first dance will be to the strains of “your song.” This can be a song from when
you first met, or a song that you both choose to represent your feelings for each other as well
as your hopes and dreams for the future. It will be up to the groom and his mother to choose
the song that they will dance to and the same goes for the bride and her father.
Many couples like to kick off the festivities after the formal dances are through with Friends in
Low Places by Garth Brooks, or the hit Ya Gotta Have Friends by Bette Midler. The type of
music you play at your wedding reception is entirely up to the tastes of the bride and groom.
If you like country and western music, hire a band that specializes in this music genre or hire
a DJ that knows your preferences. You can request disco dancing music, Big Band era
inspired tunes, jazz, heavy metal or pop. What ever the music you decide upon, be sure that
the guests will enjoy it as well and will have no problem getting up and moving to the rhythm.
