Great Ideas For Wedding Reception Music

Of course when it comes to a wedding, all the final decisions are left up to the bride and the groom. Even if there is a wedding planner involved, it is these two people who the wedding is for, and who therefore need to be taken into consultation before every single decision is made. It is their special day, and so they should have everything just the way that they want it.

Now there are quite a few different decisions that are going to have to be made for any wedding, such as wedding reception food and the vows, but one of the most important is what the wedding reception music is. Now typically a couple will have a DJ at their wedding, so that there is a professional there to take care of the music playing.

However, you are going to want to have a word in the type of music that will be played, and in particular you may like certain songs that you want to have as your wedding reception music.

Song Ideas

There are a few song ideas for wedding reception music that are quite popular and which you may like for yourself, or at least which are going to give you a better idea of where you should be going with this.

Let's start with the first dance for the bride and the groom. Remember that there are different times of the wedding reception and you are going to want to have different types of music playing. Besides the first dance there is the cake cutting, father daughter dance, last dance, mother son dance, and of course the wedding party music which will probably go on into the early hours of the night.

So for the first dance wedding reception music, think 98 Degrees Never Let Go, Aaliyah 4 Page Letter, Air Supply Two Less Lonely People, or Al Green God Bless Our Love.

For the mother son dance you may want to stick with wedding reception music such as B.J. Thomas Mama, Atlantic Starr Always, and Anne Murray Roots and Wings.

These are all great song ideas, but make sure that you put yourselves into it. You want music that is going to suit the moment but also which is going to reflect you and your love. You don't have to be traditional either, and stick with church like music if you don't want to. Some people even have hip hop and rap as the music at their weddings.
