Song Selections from Our DJ Besties

Hi Lovely People,This week we wanted to share some ideas to help all the wonderful couples getting married this wedding season find the perfect songs for their special moments. We know that some of the music you choose to feature on your day will be extremely personal, such as the tune you choose to have to play when you walk down the aisle or for your first dance. But sometimes you just need a little extra help in brainstorming options for what melodies could work. In order to help you in this endeavor, we turned to the experts for a bit of advice. We reached out to three of our favorite DJ's for their suggestions to pass along to you all!

Key Reception Moments (Grand Entrance and Cake Cutting)

These are some big parts of your night! You definitely want songs that are memorable for your grand entrance and cake cutting. Wyatt informs us that, “this sets the tone for the rest of the reception. I recommend picking a celebratory song that would go well with cheering’”. But for your cake cutting, choose “something sweet and upbeat”.

Dance Selections (Parent Dances and Last Dance)

For your parent dances, we heart Wyatt saying to keep it “a classic that is both family-appropriate and meaningful”, while your last song should be a time to “play your party anthem”. There are very different options for both of these times and we know choosing just one song is tough, so check out our fav DJ’s options below:
