When planning your wedding reception music, there are going to be a lot of songs that are important! Very rarely in your life will you have an event in which you’re tasked with finding songs that are going to be highly important. So, what do you need music for and what songs do you decide on? This blog gives you our advice on planning the music for your wedding reception!
4 Tips for Planning Your Wedding Reception Music
Have Songs for These Reception Events
Many couples will have their first dance song picked out and maybe even a few songs they want to play at certain times of the open dance. However, many couples don’t know that they should have songs for the wedding party intro, bouquet and garter toss, and cake cutting. Your Orlando DJ will help you pick these songs, however, it’s always good to be prepared with a few song ideas to nail down your wedding reception music for each event when meeting with your DJ before the wedding.
Keep it Simple
Deciding on Songs for your wedding is a big deal and certain moments like the first dance deserve more attention. However, with certain moments like wedding party intros, cake cutting, and bouquet toss, you don’t want these decisions to take up a massive amount of time. Be sure to keep things simple and play a simple, fun song for some of these events during the reception.
Pay Attention to the Lyrics
Some songs may sound like an amazing idea and its tune might fit the mood, but it’s lyrics may not. For example, Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks is a wedding classic nationwide! However, if you pay attention to these song lyrics it is ironically a breakup song. There are plenty of songs that couples will decide on due to the tune but the song’s lyrics don’t fit. That will always be your first dance song so it’s important that you know what the song’s message is.
Play What YOU Want to Play!
When deciding on songs for your Orlando wedding reception, the biggest thing to keep in mind is that it’s all about you! Just because certain music is more popular or something that may be overplayed doesn’t mean that should influence your decision. These songs are going to be played for your big day, so play what you want! At the end of the day, you’re going to want the music to make you happy on your wedding.
