Hi! I'm getting married soon and am currently finalising my evening playlist, and I'm hoping some of you can help!

I have about 100 guests, ages ranging from early 30s to late 70s and I'd love it if everyone had a great time and felt like dancing all night!

What song makes you immediately run onto the dance floor?

For universal appeal I would say ABBA or a few classic Beatles songs especially at the start of the set. Also a few cheesy 80s ones, Wham, etc

Interested in this thread?

None. For me, at a wedding the whole point is to catch up with people you hardly ever see, I much prefer to stay on the sidelines and chat. I really will be enjoying myself but not dancing and I don't like the idea of being pressured up onto the floor as sometimes happens. However for those that do want to dance 80s music always seems to go down well and I love listening to it even if I'm not dancing. Stuff people can sing along to as well as dance.

yeah none, I have never danced in my life, I would not know where to start, I would just look ridiculous😂

Chic Good Times

Dancing Queen
Don’t leave me this way
Tainted Love
Dancing in the dark

and all most Motown , but especially:
Reach Out, I’ll be there
I second that emotion
This old heart of mine

As you’ll guess from the song choices, more like tottering than running to the dance floor for me ! 🤣

And My Girl ( Otis Redding version , please ) to close the night.
I’ll be ready for my Ovaltine then …..

QueenMummyTheFirst · 20/05/2025 13:54

Great question! Basically anything that I can belt along to and gets me moving, ideally from the 60s to 90s. So things like

  • Don't Stop Believing
  • We Built this City
  • Teenage Dirtbag
  • anything by Queen
  • Twist and Shout
  • Build me up Buttercup
  • Let's Twist Again

Also, emo rock from the 2000s, like Sk8r Boi, and All the Small Things.

Have a great time!!

weddingplaylist · 21/05/2025 14:33

Thank you all SO much! I'll have a little listening session tonight and select the perfect ones for my playlist!
