For my wedding, I comprised the music for my ceremony and reception.
I coordinated it down to the note and had the DJ also burn CD's as Wedding Favors for the guests. Sorta a "Soundtrack" to our wedding. All the guests loved the idea.
Seeing that my husband is half Italian, as guests arrived and were being seated, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin played Italian Love Songs
The ceremony consisted of the following
Going to the Chapel-The Dixie Cups
Never My Love- The Association
And I love Her- The Beatles
At Last- Etta James
a snippet of a lovely tune off a "victoria secret's" cd/ forgot the name.
Tradional Wedding march
As we were introduced as Mr. and Mrs.- Your'e my Best Friend-Queen played
During Dinner and Reception a variety of Lounge, Big Band, Swing, Mambo, Disco, Classic country, and well known pop hits played.
A good suggestion is to play music that people of all ages are familiar with and can enjoy.
Ex. Cheesy classics are great and always a hit at weddings!
Oh, and believe it or not "Lowrider Oldies" make terrific wedding music!
"When we get Married"- The Dream Lovers - was our first dance and guests were actually crying.
Best of luck and have fun with it.
THanks Stinkymonkey...I appreciate your sharing of personal song choices. THese are great.
