I recorded the following sample of my DJ Playlist from an evening wedding reception in Christchurch just over a week ago. It was a fairly young audience and from the wedding music requests given I got an idea of the sorts of songs to concentrate on.
The song order shows how I mixed them on the night and contains the guest’s requests (Marked in bold)

Note: As always the choice of music played reflects -
a) What song were requested from the bride, groom and wedding guests.
b) What the wedding party responded to and enjoyed most on the night.
This is what makes each and every Wedding DJ playlist unique and personal.
