First things first, consider the vibe you want to create. Are you aiming for a classic romance, a modern party, or something in between? Many things can contribute to the vibe you want for your wedding. For instance, you may want to consider the ages of guests attending, the style of the venue you have booked, and of course your and your fiance’s personalities. Once you’ve nailed down the mood, it’s time to curate your playlist. Here are some top event and wedding dance songs to get you started:
- “Come on Eileen” by Dexys Midnight Runners

And don’t forget to consider your guests’ tastes as well – after all, you want everyone to have a good time. Some couples opt for more classics and oldies earlier in the night and gradually progress toward current hits as the night goes on and the older generations starting head out.
