Fun and Romantic Songs for Your Wedding Reception

Here's a list that I wrote up for our band/DJ to consider for our wedding reception. I tried to select songs that had special meaning for close relatives and for us; songs that people typically enjoy dancing to; songs that would appeal to guests of different ages; and of course, songs that we just simply liked. I avoided most modern music because I personally think it's awful.


Maybe you'll like some of these for your NJ wedding, too!
