The wedding dance tunes thread

[rugerpc]

I'm getting married in August. Our music will be by DJ spinnin' iTunes. We're not letting the DJ pick the tunes, we want to do that ourselves.

But the doesn't mean that we aren't open to suggestions. We're looking for danceable tunes from classic rock, with perhaps some classic disco thrown in or even some more modern stuff. We need both faster tunes and slow dance tunes.

What would be on your must play list for a wedding these days?

Note: many of the tunes you suggest could be new to us, so song title AND artist would be appreciated!

Congratulations! And good luck. My wife and I had to same sort of plan 19 years ago. Pretty much laid out what the DJ was to play. Then a number of the guests went up and requested a bunch of country tunes while we were busy, and all I remember is endless "Achy Breaky Heart" line dancing. UUGHHHHH!

What level of dancing are we talking? I love Brian Setzer Orchestra stuff, but most people can't dance like "Jump, Jive and Wail" (especially me), but a little liquid courage and it's a song that makes people move.

The closest thing to country will be Bob Seger's "The Fire Inside".

We're just talking regular club dancing stuff. I don't think there will be any waltzing or dub step.

I have 100% control over what will be available on the server. I plan on making several play lists:
One for as the reception starts
One for the introduction of the wedding party
One for the fist dances
One for the dinner
One for the dancing into the night.

If you want to throw a little blues/soul in there, Tommy Castro has a few you might like: Hard Believer, Ninety Nine and One Half, Nobody Loves Me Like My Baby, Lucky in Love. And if you're gonna dance into the night, by definition you have to play Dance The Night Away by Van Halen!

Congrats!

Calling Sergio...

Huh? Somebody call me?

Do you have the big songs picked yet Bill? By that I mean first dance, first time introducing the happy couple, etc... or are you even doing that?

What's the age demographic?
