Wedding Playlist!

  • Alright ladies (and gents ), I'm getting married in a little less than a month (woohoo! ) and I'm just doing some final prepping and I need your help!


    I need suggestions for my wedding playlist. (I have a dj, but want to give suggestion) I need songs for the following categories:


    During appetizers (such as Michael Buble, Jason Mraz, etc.)

    Slow Songs (Bryan Adams, Keith Urban, etc.)

    Dance Songs (Black Eyed Peas, etc.)


    So just think, when your at a wedding or other function, what songs do you like to hear and get people excited and moving and then put them in these categories.


    Thanks in advance!!
  • I made a wedding playlist and burned it to CDs as wedding favors.
