Wedding Songs

Melissa, on October 2, 2019 at 2:29 PM Posted in Planning 0 7
Hello! I need help figuring out how many songs I need for the ceremony AND reception. I’m starting to do research and look into all these specific songs but does anyone have an idea or a list I can go off of to make sure I have all of the ones I need?


please help. Thank you!

    I only have three songs chosen so far, but here's mine!

    Processional: "Canon in D" by Johann Pachelbel

    Father/Daughter dance: "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton

    Last Dance: "Forever" by Chris Brown

    The other songs our DJ mentioned choosing a specific song for were

    Recessional

    First Dance

    Mother/Son Dance

    Cake Cutting

    Bouquet/Garter Toss

    Grand Exit

    For pre-ceremony music, our DJ suggested Vitamin String Quartet, they play string instrumental covers of popular songs. Still working on the rest of the songs on the list lol, hope this helped!

    We had 🎶playing before the ceremony, a bit during, after, and for the Reception.

    It depends on what you and FH want.

    I had a song for the Bridal party to walk to, a song for me, a song during our Unity Ceremony, Recessional, I never heard our Reception entrance song, we had songs for our 1st dance, Mother/Son, 🎂cutting, 💐toss, and then 🎶 during and after dinner.

    Congratulations and 🍀‼️

    Are you hiring a DJ? They should be able to provide a list of the ceremony and reception moments that you could choose songs for. You may not want all of those options though. For the reception you can choose songs for the parents to walk in to, the groom and his party as well as those mentioned above. It's all in what you want for your day. We chose a total of 4 songs for the ceremony (settling guests, 1st bride's entrance, 2nd bride's entrance, recessional) and 2 for the reception (first dance and cake cutting cue).
