There are several events guests will look forward to on your wedding day. From watching the bride walk down the aisle to seeing the bride and groom say ‘I do’ to a delicious meal with speeches and lastly, but not least, the reception dance party.
Playlist Input
Playing a diverse genre of music, as well as popular hits is a sure way to get your guests out on the dance floor. Whether you have hired a DJ, or band, they will most likely be asking for a few songs to play throughout the night.
When it comes time to choosing songs, input from your guests can be helpful. Such as asking them to request one or two songs on their RSVP to help build your playlist. However, Coastal Wedding is also here to help! Below are a few of our favorites that are guaranteed to get the crowd out on the dance floor.

Playlist Tip
The last tip we will leave you with is an important one. Ask your DJ or Band to read the crowd and have a backup plan. If guests aren’t up ‘shaking a leg’ have them switch up the pace.
Cheers to making your night full of hips shaking and laughter.
