Song idea for reception show

Postby NightshadeDesigns » Sat May 16, 2009 7:54 pm

I am currently creating a show for a wedding reception. The wedding couple do not like country.
Most of the photos of this section of the show are of them as teens to present time.
I know they like Nickelback. I thought of using "Photograph" but it doesn't suit the occasion.
Looking for something not to hard rockish or fast. A nice steady pace or even something on the slow side would be fine.
Any ideas?

If you are looking for specific songs, you need to give us more than reception songs. If you are looking for soft rock songs, try Kool & the Gang's "Celebration", Donna Summer's "Last Dance", Earth, Wind, and Fire's version of "Got To Get You Into My Life", ABBA's "Dancing Queen", Ambrosia's "How Much I Feel", Bread's "If", Chicago's "I've Been Searching", Climax Blues Band "I Love You".

These are some general soft rock songs I have used to DJ with at weddings, some upbeat, some slower. It really depends on the bride's tastes. What songs, if any, are listed on her "Facebook"?

Try to find a instrumental that would fit her personality. You will be safe with that choice.

Some favs:

Feels Like Home - many singers
Man and Wife - Michelle Featherstone
Come Way With Me - Norah Jones
Always You - Sophie Zelmani - love this song
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

You could also go with a intrumental.

Pictures of you - Last Goodnight
Time of my Life - David Cooke
I don't want to miss a thing - Aerosmith

I also like the 'Chasing Cars' suggestion ....
