On the best day of your life, we believe the music should reflect the excitement and sentiment of a wedding. For every party there’s a perfect playlist that encapsulates the magic of the event. No matter if you have a DJ or you’re the king of the aux cord, here are the songs we think are essential to any wedding.
1.Mambo No. 5 - Lou Bega
This absolute classic is both family friendly and gets the whole crowd onto the dance floor!
2.Time Of Our Lives - Pitbull & NeYo
When Pitbull said “this for everyone going through tough times, been there done that”, we really felt it.
3.What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
A New Orleans wedding and Louis Armstrong go together like bread and butter.
4.Crazy in Love - Beyonce
It’s not a party without a little Yonce in the mix!
5.I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston
Be prepared for everyone to sing this song at the top of their lungs, it's like karaoke and a dance
party all in one.
6.CAN'T STOP THE FEELING! - Justin Timberlake
This song might have been made for the Trolls movie, but no one can deny how catchy and fun it is.
7.Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
Any event would be incomplete without Sweet Caroline, from a 5th grade graduation to your wedding day.
8....Baby One More Time - Britney Spears
This is your excuse to bust out the dance moves we all tried to learn from the music video. Don’t be shy!
9.Come On Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners
A multi-generational track that should be played at every function. Period.
10.Sorry - Justin Bieber
Of all the Bieber songs, this one takes the cake. It’s a fun-fueled 3 minute masterpiece that is sure to even get Grandma Betty moving her hips.
11.Low - Flo Rida & T-Pain
We included this because there's no funnier sight than seeing all the dads trying to “get low, low low, low”
12.Uptown Girl - Billy Joel
This timeless song will never fail to put a smile on your guests faces.
13.Macarena - Los Soneros
If anyone avoids the dance floor because “they can’t dance”... Here's the opportunity to drag them on their feet and do the macarena.
14.Sugar - Maroon 5
A sweet love song that still makes you wanna move, PERFECT for weddings!
15.(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life - Dirty Dancing Soundtrack
The ideal ending song to a perfect night. Bonus points if someone can pull off the lift from Dirty Dancing.
No matter what songs you choose to have at your wedding, it's sure to be an unforgettable night. With the right soundtrack to set the tone, we have no doubt every one of your guests will groove and boogie until their feet wear down. We hope to see you hitting the dance floor in the Parlor at the Pontchartrain Hotel soon!
