I know someone was talking about this not too long ago but what would be good p songs to play at a wedding reception. What should be the first dance, slow songs, and "party" songs. It's hard to brainstorm this by myself anyone got ideas?

I recently made CDs for a wedding and here was what I used:

A Case Of U (on the dinner mix)
Kiss
Courtin Time (mixed in with some big band songs)
Computer Blue (I cut off some of the end)
DMSR

I also like playing 7 at weddings, but I chose not to put it on this set of CDs

I feel like I'm forgetting a few tracks

I've always thought "Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife" was a perfect wedding song. Maybe even a first dance song 4 the reception.

Some Slow SOngs

The Arms of Orion (with Sheena Easton) from Batman nice little ballad.
SOul Sanctuary and Savior from Emancipation.
Call my name
Pink Cashmere
Adore
TMBGITW
Diamonds and Pearls
When 2 R in Love

I'm suprised no one has mentioned 4Ever in My Life....that's what getting played at my wedding.

Seems kinda depressing for a wedding dontcha think?

Forget Prince songs....

How about Superman by Black Lace?

Featuring classic lines like "Comb your hair" and "SPRAY!"

A party is never complete without it.



Go on, flame me, you know you want to.

My husband and I got married June 6, 1998.
At the reception, we played "Forever in my Life" as our song, 1987 was the year we met.
But it was a toss up between, Soul Sanctuary and The Most Beautiful Girl in the World.
I would think that those three would be nice to play at the wedding.

Just play 'Wedding Feast' all night long! What a fun party it would be!

TGRES
I love U but I don't trust U anymore
Why U wanna Treat Me So Bad
Bob George (to get the reception hoppin)
5 women
Old Friends for Sale
There is Lonely

When I got married, I used Aboretum at the signing of the registers. I had a karma sutra/Xpectation mix in the background behind the meal. I didn't feel I wanted princes voice gate crashing the ceremony.

My wife picked the slow song (non prince), but I got to pick the first fast song.

You should have seen everyones faces when the dance remix of "Head" came on. I thing I got away with it, afterall, it is based around a wedding!
