WEDDING RECEPTION MUSIC
I’ve recorded the following DJ playlist from one of our wedding gigs in Kent – May 2009. It contains some of the wedding music played before wedding singer Luca’s second evening show and also from about 10.00 pm – 11.30 pm. It also includes the bride and groom’s last dance choice - ‘Have you ever been in love’ by Céline Dion. The order of the songs here is how I mixed them on the night and contain any special requests by the wedding party (Marked in bold).

ABOUT THIS DJ PLAYLIST
This is certainly a DJ playlist for the 90’s lovers and not really suited to people who aren’t fond of this era, however i did also try to include other material in order to involve the rest of the wedding party. I have to say having grown up with 90’s music myself it was nice to hear a lot of the old school tracks. If you look towards the end of the playlist you’ll see how it very gradually slows down in pace through the songs I’ve chosen. I prefer to slow it down gradually as I don’t like the way some Wedding DJs bring things to an abrupt halt at the end of the night, leaving wedding guests a little stunned.
I really enjoyed this music here and it made a nice change to be able to steer away from the typical Wedding DJ playlist.
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.
