Wedding DJ playlist for open dancing!

Soon, I'll be going over wedding DJ playlists for your reception, but in the meantime, here;s an article on just that! Enjoy.

Here is a great set list for a wedding DJ playlist. As you can see, we begin with some good danceable Motown. Groove Me is a great crossover song into disco...it's Motown yet funky! WE then transition from disco into Top 40. From there we can cross mix into 80's alternative. Then we do a couple of Old School 80's tunes, then into 90's rap (so fun!) and close it out with the bouncy Venga Boys. Here we have a hard jump back into oldies, but we move into the classics, since everyone is ready to go nuts (thank you , bartender)! We end the set with Shout. At the end of this wedding DJ playlist, people were simply worn out and ready to lay down and take a nap! Talk about a workout.

I want you back Jackson 5

Respect Aretha franklin

Groove me King floyd

Boogie shoes Kc & the sunshine band

Funkytown Lipps, inc.

September Earth, wind & fire

Blame it (warning content) Jamie foxx f t-pain

New sensation Inxs

Anything, anything (i'll give you) Dramarama

Blister in the sun Violent femmes

Super freak Rick james

Baby got back Sir mix-a-lot

Whoomp! (there it is) Tag team

Tootsie roll 69 boyz

We like to party! Vengaboys

Brown eyed girl Van morrison

Twist & shout Beatles

Shout Animal house soundtrack

This is, of course, just a sample, but it covers a huge array of genres and eras. It is probably about an hour to an hour and a half long (depending on when the DJ mixes out of each song) and has such a wide variety, you're sure to please just about everybody within this time. Dont' forget, if you've seen a bigger response on the dance floor for a certain style of music,
get back to that genre as fast as you can. And, likewise, if you got NO dancing to a certain genre, don't bother playing the other songs on the list in that style. Get right into the next set. Have fun and remember, your wedding DJ playlist is not set in stone!

Weddings are so exciting! The very moment I step into the wedding venue and upon hearing the wedding songs, geee it sends shiver to my spine! Maybe I’m just so inspired even to be giving the best wedding songs list to my friends. Whenever I attend weddings, I see to it I list down songs I hear and also tell them to those who are looking for the best suitable wedding songs aside from the couple’s own OST. groom mother wedding songs
