Musical Choices & Request Lists

Some musical ideas

Some recent clients have asked for advice on musical choices, so here are some ideas for music at your wedding reception.

We've split the music below into categories so that you can get an idea of our DJ's extensive repertoire and musical knowledge. We really will play any music that you want.

Keep it familiar

A perceptive client recently commented 'I've noticed at weddings people tend to dance to the tunes that they know and obscure tunes don't work so well'. This is a wise observation so when asked, I always recommend that you include 'accessible' choices in your request list.

Pick important songs

It's a good idea to have a reason for every song that's on your playlist. It could be from the hen or stag party, or a significant moment in your lives. Or you both might just like the song. It might be a song from your days as a student. Your DJ will try to get a good reaction from you and your guests from every song that is played.

First dance

It's important to time the first dance so that guests have settled and had a chance to socialise. The first dance is then a good focal point to start things off on the dance floor.

On occasions I've seen couples exit the dance floor straight after the first dance, which can then encourage guests to leave the dance floor too.

Where will you be on the night?

The guests are there to see you, so if you're on the dance floor then guests will join you... The main places that people tend to congregate are the dance floor and the bar, so if you set the example that the dance floor is the place to be, then your guests will normally follow.

Music that you and your guests will enjoy

When you think about your musical choices, try to think about how your guests might react to certain styles of music and different songs. The main reason for compiling a request list is so that your DJ has a good idea of music that you will enjoy and that you think will encourage your guests to dance.
