Wedding Song Playlist
3 weeks to go until the big day. Our reception is going to be pretty casual. So no DJ or band will be playing. The reception will be held outdoors. So I am putting together a play list of music. The reception will be two hours long. No lines, no dinner, no wedding party introductions, etc. The only thing we will be doing is daddy-daughter dance, mother-son, and then our first dance.
I tried just putting the new Interpol album on loop but she's not a fan. Worth checking out though. I am looking for a good mix of contemporary and traditional to go with music from our eclectic tastes to play in the background as people mingle. So please post some of your favorites.

One or two receptions I've been to really stood out above the others. I'll see if I can track down my friends and steal some of their playlist. |

IMO, the biggest hurdle he'll have is that a lot of members show up at weddings expecting the typical funeral procession with soft music playing in the background and mints on the table. What we did is "prime the pump" so to speak by pre-planning for a bunch of our friends to start dancing, etc. once the dancing started. After a little while people figured out that you were supposed to dance and have a good time. |

FM is spot on. I am avoiding the typical Mormon wedding. And for the most part it won't be since my fiance is the only member in her family.
However, half of the songs I picked out last night already got axed by the girl so I am trying to find a happy medium. So what I am looking for is fun music that will be mellow enough so as not to distract conversation but still be able to dance to. And of utmost importance to my fiance is that the music be happy.

You may be scheduling the reception to be two hours, but if you really think it will last only two hours, you're nuts.
Be ready for one of the longest - yet happiest - days of your life. Our reception didn't have dancing because my in-laws paid for a string quartet to be at the reception. The only suggestion I have for music is a song by Paul Lukakis - Boom, boom.

Are you looking for dance music with a hip hop vibe?
If you are I've got several suggestions.
