Wedding Reception Songs – variety is key
All your wedding reception songs and advice in one place.
What appeals to your high school friends is not going to be exactly the same as what appeals to your business colleagues. So mix things up and play some of each. If you do it right, the guests who come to the floor for KC & the Sunshine Band will stick around for Beyonce! As a general rule, wedding reception songs should be a colourful assortment of different flavours of music.
Remember, this site is loaded with playlists (and do-not-playlists), advice, as well as suggestions for albums available. All weddings receptions songs information is on the right-hand menu!

Wedding Reception Songs Album
There's nothing more romantic than some of the songs available on Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings
album. It includes songs such as Can You Feel the Love Tonight and Beauty and the Beast, my two personal favourites. The orchestration of these perfect wedding reception songs hits emotions anytime time they're played, much less at such an emotional time.
If you're still a kid at heart but want a grown-up version, then this cd is perfect for you. It has all those great disney songs but with a twist of jazz to appeal to a grown-up crowd. Beautifully orchestrated.

How to Set Your Wedding to Music
Barbara Rothstein & Gloria Sklerov, author's of How to Set Your Wedding to Music, mention that visualising your dream wedding is the first step in choosing wedding reception songs:
"Visualing is one of the most important parts of planning, for behind every successful creation is an idea... a heart's desire. The clearer your vision, the easier you'll find the process of making it a reality."
Close your eyes and visualise your reception hall or garden. What are your guests doing, what music do you hear?
"Think of your wedding as a film. Like any successful film, a great wedding has an interesting and meaningful opening and dramatic moments that build in intensity to an exciting climax and satisfying ending."
Using Barbara's and Gloria's ideas, artists, songs and genres may already be springing to mind.
