If you are about to get married, or are in charge of creating the perfect wedding playlist, here are 100+ perfect songs for every age. 

wedding playlist

Let's be real, when the wedding playlist is bad, the wedding as a whole suffers. The music you play at the wedding reception will set the tone for how people feel. Do you want them to be movin' and groovin' or awkwardly swaying back and forth because they don't know the song? 

I went on instagram and asked the wedding experts and attendees what their favorite wedding songs were and we were able to come up with the ultimate wedding playlist.

If you want to head straight over to the playlist here's the link to our Spotify Playlist, Wedding Reception Perfection.

This post is all about the perfect wedding playlist.
