Ps. He [b]bought[/b] them all from Amazon.com in case anyone is wondering 🙂
Dez, the DJ we are using has a massive selection of stuff we can request in advance via their website, we don't need to source it ourselves
😀
Wedding songs should be chosen by the DJ. Thats what you pay a DJ for, not only for music/lights, but to get the people up and dancing... No point in playing all the songs that you like, if no one's going to dance to them.
More often than not, if songs were requested before the function, then played when they asked, the dancefloor emptied pretty quickly.. A good DJ can see what music gets the people going, and will play the music that keeps em dancing all night long! But it is also nice to know the types of music that people like. I would not play much rock music, as most people won't dance to it, and the people that requested it, usually just sit there smiling rocking there head to the beat.
White wedding, celebration, ymca, macarena - Cheese to be played when everyone is pissed! (Can't believe I suggested those songs 😳 )
Wedding songs should be chosen by the DJ
Just because that's the way everybody else does it, doesn't make it right!
Because all I'll get then is a load of old cheesy crap (Like you suggested) and nothing decent.
We've sent the link they set up to all the guests and they get to make requests too.
There'll be time for some other stuff on the night too (including some quality cheese, yes, just not wall to wall cheese!), but I expressly DON'T want is the same old stuff you hear at every other wedding. You should see the track listing now. Wow.
I'm not going to post said listing because there are people on STW who will be attending....

Cool, no worries.
Milkie - I disagree, my wedding party was great - we just gave the DJ a list of MUST plays, so we got our faves in, a list of MUST NOT plays, so we didn't get sh1t like you suggest and it worked really well. People danced, people rocked, people shoulder stomped (Tiger Feet!).
Yea I'm not saying it works like that all the time. But it can happen. It can get a little annoying if the dancefloor is packed and the person demands certain songs to be played now, and the floor empties.
Sounds like the DJ has got it sorted and knows what he's doing, I can certainly see how it makes it easier for the DJ and how it could make for a really good night. But I've seen a fair few events where the DJ has done what the person wanted, and hardly anyone danced as the choice of music was not to everyones taste.
I admit to being alone on the dance floor as the White Lines 12" reached it's 9th minute... I was happy though 🙂
Calm now. 'Tis done. Requests submitted. We only have 9 "must play" tracks so even if they suck it won't be that bad.... 😉
But you gotta have House of Pain, right?
Hope you requested Hey Mickey by Toni Basil.
Impossible not to dance/sing along to if at a wedding reception.
Buy a "best of" Toots and the Maytals - you'll be rocksteadying all night long.
"Pressure drop, pressure, oh yeah, pressure gonna drop on you..."
And some Ian Dury & the Blockheads
And ABSOLUTELY [b]NO[/b] Come on Eileen.... (have Jackie Wilson Said, instead).
