GOOD SONGS BAD SONGS WHAT A TOP WEDDING DJ RECOMMENDS
According to Modern Bride, the people who provide the entertainment play a large role in determining the success or failure of a wedding reception. A key person is the DJ - in-the-groove operators like Scott MacMillan who know how to work a crowd, pace an evening and suggest appropriate songs for those big moments. Among MacMillan's suggestions:
For the Father-and-Daughter Dance:
"As Times Goes By" - Jimmy Durante
"Sunrise Sunset" - Zero Mostel
"To Sir With Love" - Lulu
"We Are Family" - Sister Sledge
"Wind Beneath My Wings" - Bette Midler
For the Brides' Garter Toss
"Another One Bites the Dust" - Queen
"Boom Boom Let's Go Back to my Room" - Paul Lekakis
"I'm Too Sexy" - Right Said Fred
"Patricia the Stripper" - Chris de Burgh
"She Drives Me Crazy" - Fine Young Cannibals
For the Bride's Bouquet Toss
"I Need A Man" - Eurythmics
"It's Raining Men" - Weather Girls or Geri Halliwell
"Man, I Feel Like A Woman" - Shania Twain
"Shoop Snoop Song" - Cher or Betty Everett
"Whip It" - Devo
TUNES FROM A WEDDING DJ'S DO NOT PLAY LIST
MacMillan says that while brides and grooms are usually happy to have spirited dancing during the evening, most want to stay away from undignified line dances or anything that turns the event into a drunken frat-night party with people flapping their arms like chickens and sguawking around the dance floor, all captured for posterity on videotape. With this in mind, he stays away from:
"The Bird Dance"
"The Macarena"
"The Hokey Pokey"
"Achy Breaky Heart"
