Wedding Party Song FAQs

What songs get everyone dancing at a wedding?
Recognizable, high-energy crowd-pleasers, like Uptown Funk, September, and Mr. Brightside, plus group dances that pull every age onto the floor.
How many party songs do we need?
For a few hours of dancing, plan 40-plus high-energy tracks. Your DJ reads the room and pulls from a much deeper crate, so you are never stuck with a set list.
Should we include line dances?
A couple are great for getting everyone up together, but too many can stall the energy. Your DJ sprinkles them in at the right moments.
