June 12, 201214 yr What songs do you really like to hear at wedding receptions? (Standards are fine, popular choices are expected, but b-sides and deep cuts are encouraged.) See if you can't fit in a slow-dance or two, if you're throwing in suggestions. It's wedding season and all, and I've already been to 3 weddings this spring/summer, so since my buddies and I always end up having the discussion at wedding receptions, I figured I'd ask my BGP buddies.
June 12, 201214 yr A wedding reception has to have at least one Frank Sinatra song IMO. It can be played during the dinner, but there has to be one!
June 12, 201214 yr My girlfriend brought up the idea the other day that if/when we get married, when we send out the invitations, on the RSVP card, for each guest to put down 2 sounds for the reception to be played. I thought it was a cool idea.

June 12, 201214 yr My feeling is that obscure songs that only Jim Shue , Adopted Admirial, CWB, and others might know are not for a wedding. The key to a fun wedding is participation by the masses so you need songs that are "fun" and that will get people out of their chairs. So even though I'm always stunned that a DJ plays "Rocky Top" I'm cool with it because for whatever reason people like it. Even though I'm aging I'm a youngster when it comes to music. Love to dance. Anything with a good beat even if it's corny is cool with me. However, if you want to impress me as a DJ throw on some Lakeside "Fantastic Voyage."
June 12, 201214 yr I've been to 4 weddings in the past 6 months, we've always made sure that Asia "Heat of the Moment" is played.

Come on Clyde,You can't throw me in there with those other guys.:lol:I might not be up to date with the current pop music trend,but I did some growing up in the mid to late 70s. I can get down with some KC and The Sunshine Band(Get Down to Night),Wild Cherry(Play that Funky Music)The Commodores(Brick House/Easy)and even some Wings(Silly Love Songs).

Don't misunderstand, my man. I'm saying the breadth of your music knowledge and tastes is much wider than the average person. That's a compliment. You're speaking my language on KC and the Sunshine Band.

I think there are certainly some obscure songs that don't belong at a wedding reception - no doubt. I was at a hipster wedding two weekends ago that had a whole bunch of really obscure music, and a whole bunch of empty dance floor to go along with it. Still, I think there are certainly some not-so-well-tunes that folks can dance to...so long as it's appropriate as "dance music".
