Wedding day playlists: choosing the music that matters
Hi guys,
Selecting the music and playlists for your wedding day is an important key to setting the tone for the day! We all know how important music is in so many parts of our lives. The fist pump at the end of The Breakfast Club would be nothing without Simple Minds playing in the background. You probably have songs throughout the most important moments of your life that take you back in time each time you hear them. Your wedding day is no different!
The playlists you select will add to the emotional moment of walking down the aisle, the happiness of when you enter the social hour, and the sweetness of your first dance. All of these moments that will stand out in your memories even more, based on the music that goes along with them.
Which is why Meander Gatherings has curated playlists to accompany all parts of your wedding day. With our micro wedding packages we also provide a pre-ceremony and prelude playlist, a ceremony playlist, and a cocktail hour playlist. All of which are played on our professional and powerful portable bluetooth speaker. We’ve created playlists that help create a romantic ambiance to your already special day. However, we are happy to add additional songs to our playlists so that they uniquely suit you! We can add in songs for your first dance, processional, and any other moments that are important to you.
If you are racking your brain for songs that you want to add to our customized playlists, we suggest thinking of a few different things! Do you have a favorite song as a couple? It could be a song from your first date that you both loved, a song from a concert you went to together, or a song that you both bonded over! You can also look up ideas online. Type in search words like “folksy first dance songs” or “romantic songs”. Above all, you want to select songs that make you feel something. These are the songs that will take you back in time when you hear them years from now! So the most important part is to pick something that makes you happy and feels like a perfect fit as a wedding day song.
Finally, don’t forget to think about music for those other important moments as well! Picking a song for the father daughter dance can be an especially sweet moment with your dad. There are so many great options for the mother son dance also. Ask your parents if they have any songs that they love or if you should pick out one together. This can be an easy way to get your parents involved in a way that will make both of you even more excited for your special moment on the wedding day!
Selecting your wedding day playlists can be one of the easiest and most fun parts of your planning. Allow Meander Gatherings to help by using one of our curated playlists and adding to it to make it yours!
