"Tasteful, love-themed, reggae/dancehall music" = oxymoron? I hope not!

Caris, so as long as you find a good experienced DJ you should be fine. The greatest DJ's know just how to set the tone and still throw a good party. BTW I LOVE Soca and Dancehall. We will have some played at our reception too

What's wrong with suggestive. . .it's a wedding afterall LOL

I know what you mean though. Good luck!!

Oh yeah that IS the DJ's job isn't it? I've been "wearing too many hats", I need a vacation, lol. I literally JUST started working with a DJ; before that I was trying my best to put together a music playlist. Thanks Marlina!

We'llAlwaysHaveParis, slightly suggestive is fine lol but those songs would be in the minority!

No Problem Caris, you are paying your DJ for a reason! Get your money's worth : )

Caris- Just wanted to say that I love your avatar pic! It's super cute.

Find out if your DJ has a subscription to one of the DJ pools (Promo Only, Top Hits, Prime Cuts). They usually have "edited" versions of the music.

I like this song. Dunno if it's what you are looking for though. Michael Franti & Spearhead Say Hey I Love You

We will be playing some reggae at our cocktail hour as its on the beach. Mainly a few Bob marly songs.

I agree with the DJ comment. A good one will know how to handle the music for you. I am from Caribbean descent as well (Jamaica and Trinidad) so I know EXACTLY what you are referring to in the music. LOL!

Can you suggest to play songs that have no lyrics??

@Emily thanks! My sis/MOH took the pic :-)

@MCDJCarlos thanks for the tip!

@Tina I forgot about that song, definitely adding it to my list!

@Sarah, Bob Marley is a must!

@mrsaj2b I'm glad you understand lol!

@La-Kia that might be a last-resort option lol but I am playing some upbeat instrumentals during cocktail hour :-)

I'd suggest almost anything from Beres Hammond! He's a legend and always smooth!

I second Beres Hammond! I also would add Sizzla and Tarrus Riley.

Nice! Thanks Ninfa and Ana! :-)

Oh! Soca and Dancehall remind me of my college days!! I was such a fan

Richie spice - brown skin

gyptian - hold yuh

vybz kartel - yuh love

alaine - sacrifice

i haven't even spoken to our dj yet about the types of music we want.

Thanks MrsRight! I do have the one by Gyptian; I'll look into the rest :-) y'all are about to have me jammin at work! Lol

Thanks very much @BrevardMinister I really appreciate that :-)
