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?

I am another that would say "none".
Obviously it's your wedding and you want music but from a guest point of view an alternative quiet room/area would be nice to provide.

One thing that would keep me off a dance floor would be Grease Medley!

That list on the other thread of songs not to play at a disco are 100% the ones that get me up dancing. It’s me, I’m the one who requests ‘Come on Eileen’ at every wedding and birthday Blush

Achey Breaky Heart would bring half the people running to the dancefloor, and send the other half running... anywhere else!

Our dance floor filled to Salt n Pepa’s ‘Push It’

Tom Jones - It's not unusual

Absolutely know your audience - half of these make me want to hide in the toilet- half make me vaguely think of might move. Oops upside your head always gets people up - then wander off as they realise it goes on forever and no one quite knows what to do between the row boat bit. Anyrhing that tells you what to do is a win for me - time warp etc - definitely anything before 1980 is more likely to get me up. Know your audience! Xx

OP is probably married by now…

Fourcandleforkhandle · 05/10/2025 01:25

This has been really popular on the dancefloor of a couple of weddings recently- Freed from desire.

Mambo No 5

Good choices! Mambo No 5 never fails to get me on the dance floor.
