My friend and colleague John, from www.ariamelody.com and my friend Steve from www.thesoundchoicemusic.com both have great playlists for every part of the ceremony. Indie bride is also a good source.

We're seeing a lot of Beatles lately; All you Need is Love. The ever popular, "We are Family", Somewhere over the rainbow" (Uke version), I even had one couple use "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" and another used the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean......

You'll find one !

I've been told ours isn't "upbeat" enough but we like it and it means something to us. I think in the grand scheme of things that's all that matters.

This is ours

Interesting James to Be. FH chose this song as our recessional as well

FYI: I love song #1. FH and I are definitely going to dance to that song as well.

FMC, FH chose "Cool" as our first dance.

Ours is It's The End Of The World As We Know It by Great Big Sea, so excited to see out guests faces

Ours is You Make My Dreams Come True by Hall & Oates

FH picked ours! Its pretty upbeat.

R&B, do you like some upbeat blues? Something's Got A Hold on Me is nice and upbeat. Etta James version if you start it at about 30 seconds in has good spirit lifting. "Feeling good" is also a nice one, usually to get the more upbeat part you cut in around 40-50 seconds.

If you want some funk, James Brown's "I Feel Good" is definitely upbeat. More modern, Joss Stone's "Super Duper Love".

Marvin Gaye's "Aint no mountain high enough" is a classic.

Thank you @ Celia Milton

@B'Loved: Wow My Fiance hates Dream Girls, so I didnt tell him where the song came from lol

*SoonToBeMrs.Kelly* Wow you took the word right out of my mouth, I was about to say, my grandmas jaw would drop off lol

Genevieve H.: Thanks!

Auburn's "Perfect Two"? That one makes me smile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lLvtydTM78

FH hated that movie as well. But for some unknown reason, he only remembers one song from the entire movie.

My BFF is getting married in June and she is doing the chorus of Young Jeezy song I do... She is a free spirit that way :-)

Ours is "Best of My Love" by the Emotions. Upbeat, words say us and it's from our era of music

Might make it our entrance song though still not sure.

Thanks for bringing this up! I totally haven't thought about this yet. lol

Our recessional is Crazy little thing called love by Queen (our guest will already have champagne in hand by the time we begin our recessional! @ Rowena G. we are coming into the reception to the song "best of my love"

Thank you

I was thinking of using Usher's new song "Scream" still undecided. We are doing a "country" theme, so I was hoping to find a country song, but I cant find one! I like all music, so im not saying country is all that will be played, def not, but i was hoping to stick to the theme on the important stuff. But I like this song!

my other close favorite was this:

Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On

For a contemporary version of the traditional Mendelssohn wedding recessional, this is very nice - lots of fun, but not over the top for the guests who might typically prefer the traditional.
