cocktail music - list yours
Our dj is doing our music for both but it needs to be prerecorded for both and he does a live thing for the reception.
Well i got done with my ceremony music. I have every song in order to be played on my itunes playlist and I have the bp songs done. Picked mostly irish ballads and such.
Now i am working on cocktail hour and I am getting stumped a bit. Fh and I are not classical music light jazz people. We also attend many social functions with the family and music is a big part of it. Our taste is very different from people so what we are doing is a mix of non-stuffy borring music to be played NOT LOUD but just audible.
ANYWAY i figured if your having different music then the usual stuff during your cocktail hour maybe we can start a list so we can bounce ideas. Artists and songs or just artists. I got this idea fron indie bride since they do a lot of this.
So far i have
Irish drinking songs done by dropkick murphys, dubliners.
Folky rock such as dylan and the band, moody blues, america.
Contempory music such as cindi lauper, corrs, cranberries, fiest, porgues, sarah mclaughlin, etc.
Metal (not my type of metal but fh's stuff and nothing too insane and mostly instrumental), dark angel, iron maiden, scatterbrain.
Other music like Blues Brothers, can't think of who else i added (sorry).
I hope it works out for our wedding if not I am asking the dj to have something 'stuffy' on hand to switch just in case my family starts to get their panties in a bunch.
So what are you playing?
