THIS IS A NECROPOST CAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE STARTING A NEW THREAD, VIEW RESPONSES ON SECOND PAGE


I suck at music, I listen to mainly Progressive House, Trance and Ambient music. I know jack Shit when it comes to real artists names, song titles, etc etc.

We want to steer away from the traditional love songs that you hear at every wedding. I would love our first dance to be a song thats both musically and vocally chilling. The type of song that shoots through you, full of emotion and all that jazz. The rest of the reception can be whatever, I am focused on mainly "our" song.


any suggestions or should I just stick with some BS by Rod Stewart?

Good song. Pearl Jam's rendition of Last Kiss would be good too.

Techno can be played at weddings...well...not techno..but dance music at least.


Heaven by DJ Sammy


I did a co-op at a place that did DJing for weddings,etc. and I learned that almost any music can be danced to or played at a wedding. Hell, they had some slayer and anthrax on some of the cd's for the weddings.

You Give Love a Bad Name ~ Bon Jovi

Play the classics. The wedding is about you, the reception is for everyone else.

Save some hardcore dark trance for the honeymoon.
Try Yoji Biohemanika to add a bit a spice.

I assume you're having a DJ and not just setting up your Bose iPod speakers in the corner of the room. So ask the DJ what he recommends as nice love songs that aren't overly traditional. You'll have your own input, of course, but he's seen a lot more weddings than you have and this is what you're paying him for.

Also, beyond the first dances and other traditions, a lot of wedding dance music is simply upbeat stuff to get people on the floor. Staples like the Twist, Crocodile Rock and Brown-Eyed Girl aren't love songs; they're just generic songs played so people will actually move and have a good time.

A really moving song for your and your bride to be:

I love you - Barney the Purple Dinosaur.

Guarenteed to get you nookie.

Madeleine Peyroux's cover of "Dance Me to the End Of Love". A friend of mine was going to make this her song, then she eloped.

I had another friend from NJ that played Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer as their last dance. A surprising crowd favorite.

Marry me.

Ok, but I've seen you dance...might want to look into lessons... *snicker*

I recommend Yanari, she's a great teacher and she only grabbed my *** once.
