jmr Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 So, about 5 minutes ago, I told a local "dj" that I'd fill in for him and take care of the music for two upcoming weddings. The thing is... I haven't been to a wedding reception since, like, forever, and I REALLY don't know that much when it comes to what music the average person listens to these days, much less what would be appropriate for a wedding reception. If anyone could name a few of the more common wedding songs, and any other songs that would be appropriate (from OCR or otherwise), I'd greatly greatly GREATLY appreciate it. Quote
The Author Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Ask the wedding planner. It,s the best help I can give you, depending on the party they may want different genres, and it should be up to the wedding party to make that call. Quote

The impression I was getting from the guy I was speaking to was that I would pretty much have free reign over what was played. He said that he has 2 - 3 CDs of stuff he regularly uses at weddings around here, but other than that, I have to decide. Still, getting in touch with the families is a good idea. I don't really know all of the who, whats, wheres and whens yet, but I'll be speaking with the guy again this evening, so I'll find out then. Quote
Nekofrog Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Consider the age of those getting married? Of a younger generation (20s?), then these have to be on the list: Ice Ice Baby Can't Touch This Baby Got Back Those songs will get an immediate cheer from the audience, assuming they're mostly young.

Kanthos Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I don't pay that much attention to music at wedding dances, but I've been to probably 3 weddings a year for the past 5 years, so I can remember a few songs and can probably come up with more if I think long enough. Kool and the Gang - Celebrate, Funky Stuff Commodores - Brick House Jackson Five - I Want You Back, ABC Sister Sledge - We Are Family Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music Quote
jmr Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 I was just speaking to the dj I'll be filling in for, and it turns out that these weddings are not until mid July and early August, so I've got plenty of time to collect together some songs. Plus, there's one coming up soon that the dj will be in town for, so he said that I can stop by for a half hour or so, familiarize myself with his equipment, and generally get a feel for the job. I appreciate all of the suggestions so far, guys. Thanks, and keep them coming! Quote
