We'll play all the right songs."

Song suggestions for special dances at wedding receptions

The "perfect" music for your wedding's special dances should be unique and specific to your own experiences and tastes.  The songs should be well thought out.  Some avid music fans have known what song they want played at their reception from the day that they fell in love, or before.  Yet, for others, the task can be grueling.  It is even more difficult for those that don't listen to the radio or purchase CDs.  That is why we have created a list of popular first dance, father-daughter, mother-son, wedding party dance, introductions, bouquet toss, and garter toss songs.  This list is not an "end all" source.  We are merely suggesting some options that are "danceable". 

When you choose a song, pick one that you can dance to.  Then practice dancing with you fiancé.  If you are not used to dancing, consider taking some basic dance lessons with your fiancé.  There are dance instructors that specialize in preparing brides and grooms for their first dance.  Make the first-dance a major part of your reception's theme, with a touch of class.

Occasionally, I hear brides say that they don't want to have the Macarena, Chicken Dance, Electric Slide, YMCA, and other "cheesy songs" played at their reception.  We always honor the requests of our clients and refrain from playing such songs when requested to do so.

Yet, before you totally write off the Macarena, consider this.  There are several "non-dancers" that feel less threatened when they can participate in a popular "group dance" song.  This might be their only chance to have fun and participate at your reception.  At least two or more of these type of songs are usually requested at a typical reception from a guest.

There are a lot of different tastes out there and a good DJ will touch on as many of them as possible.  Try not to discount too many songs just because they've been labeled "cheesy."
