Planning Guide
How to plan your wedding music.
A simple, step-by-step guide for Twin Cities couples who want a soundtrack that feels personal from start to finish.
Start with the moments that matter
Before you think about genres, list the moments that need a specific song. Most weddings include a processional, a recessional, a grand entrance, a first dance and often parent dances. Choosing these first gives the rest of the night a shape.
Build a must-play list
Pick songs that mean something to you, not just songs you think you should include. A strong must-play list usually has:
- Songs with a story behind them
- Artists the two of you always come back to
- A few guaranteed crowd-pleasers for your friends and family
Don't skip the do-not-play list
Your do-not-play list is just as important. Leave off anything that brings back the wrong memories, line dances you'd rather avoid, or songs you've simply heard too many times.
Think about your crowd
Who will be on the dance floor? A mix of ages and backgrounds is a good thing. A few well-known songs from each generation help everyone feel included, and they're often the moments guests remember most.
Leave room for the night to happen
The best dance floors feel spontaneous. Share your favorites, set your boundaries, then trust your DJ to read the room and connect the dots.
