There’s nothing sadder than an empty dancefloor, so use this ultimate wedding playlist to get the party started – and keep it going! (ps if you’re an 80s/90s kid you’ll especially love it)
Most first dances end with the couple beckoning everyone on the dancefloor, with guests stepping in and doing 30 seconds of reluctant dancing before sloping off to the bar. So how do you get everyone on the dancefloor and loving it? Create an awesome wedding playlist full of popular upbeat sings, kicking off with a song that everyone loves. Plying your guests with booze during dinner helps too…
It might sound obvious to choose songs that people love, but so many people choose music they love, which isn’t always mainstream popular. It might seem like a good idea, as it’s your wedding and all, but it’s a real downer when the music’s pumping but no one’s dancing because they just don’t love gangster rap. Now we’re not talking Celebrate and September and all that stuff, we’re talking a good bit of cheesy pop – it’s all good fun!
So as much as it might pain you to have Taylor Swift on your wedding playlist (come on, it’s everyone’s secret fave, admit it!), it will guarantee the dancefloor is full!
I recently shot Amy and Martin’s wedding at Hampton Court and one of the best things about it was the absolutely perfect playlist. Guests were boogying from well before the first dance and didn’t stop for a second until the lights went up. There wasn’t a single moment when the dancefloor was anything less than rammed. So I stole their playlist! Want your dancefloor full all night? Scroll on and hit up their exact playlist!
So if you want your wedding guests dancing all night long, here’s Amy and Martin’s wedding playlist!
