Is podcast is brought to you by what my reading the UK's most influential wedding brand. Hello. Hello there. Welcome to rock my wedding the podcast everybody. Hope you're all right you okay? I'm great good. I'm excited about today's episode meeting. I feel for a change on might get a bit carried away here. I have a killer list at the end of this episode. So let's see how we go a few episodes back. We talked about General wedding entertainment. Do you remember ideal and what we're going to do is try and break that down a little bit. Get into a few episodes about music music specifically. Oh, yes. This is the first of those episodes and we're going to be talking about essential Dance Floor fillers for your wedding party Polly Bieber. Obviously like you are a huge fan of the cause. Yeah, if ever he gets dressed like just put the cause album on if you don't know who the cause our Spotify them. I'm sure they're on there. I mean, I'm a I like the cause but you're like some sort of Mega fan on you neck fat you do wish you were Andrea from as we've just said, what was that what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another so that can be quite tricky thing to tackle when it comes to your wedding. Party playlist you want to make sure everybody's happy and there's something on there for everyone everyone can get up and have a dance and enjoy at least one song. I'm quite easy to please. I've got a real eclectic. Let me to be honest. I know we joke, but and I think as well people put too much pressure on themselves. Like we always say for weddings, like actually, you know, you have a good selection of different genres of music and different tempos and the likelihood is that everyone's having a really great time and they're going to get up and dance to some think the perhaps in a different scenario. Yeah, they might not be so bothered by. Yeah, it's your wedding. Everyone's there. It's all about the love. Yeah had a few drinks. There's a dance floor. There's a DJ. Yeah, there's a band or both or there's a playlist some description. Everyone's going to get up and dance absolutely interesting. You say that you need to decide really how you having a DJ. Are you having a band because that will sometimes dictate what you can play. Yeah and also because if you have a band so you might have agreed a playlist with them. Yeah. The band more often than not will agree to play your playlist through the speakers. So you probably don't want to repeat the songs. Yeah, absolutely band to play that seems a bit silly. So you might just want to check out, you know what their playlist is and then work out different playlists for after they finish and then how long is that time and talking about? How long is that time? I remember when we had a deejay we talked about that in this in the entertainment part. I did we didn't have a band but we just had a DJ and I remember him saying to me make me a list of every Engel song that you really really want to hear. You know, I'm playing from 8:00 p.m. Till 1:30. We had a long party. So you've got about a hundred songs or so to fill that amount of time. So he's sort of worked out as sort of 20 songs to fill in our three minutes each three minutes each of the sort of your average song like me out. So if you put in your own playlist together that in mind so I gave him as many songs as I could think of that we loved that was, you know from different generations and different styles of music all that sort of try and cater for everybody and I have Few friends have got specific very specific taste in music. So in our RSVPs we had line on there that said let us know one song that you want to get up and dance to they do that to ya know what the rest of them back. Yes, please would I lie to you by Charles nerdy? Oh my I mean he played it says in my says my it's lazy and got him to get up. Remember the music video to that itlook everyone listen to this is probably just scratching their head like who just killed it Charles an idiot will be on YouTube You're Dead what you do? But yet so it's really helpful isn't it to you know, make sure that everybody's catered For and We'll definitely get songs back that you didn't think of and it would just make your playlist so much more varied. Yes and fortunately entertaining. Yeah, everybody involved Navi some surprises. Oh, yeah. Well, I wasn't expecting Charles in Eddie. So you many moons ago actually wrote a post on my reading about your wedding playlist. I did and it's quite old. Yeah, it's an old but still very good post loads of comments for people suggesting songs and things like that. You did say was pre Gaga. You are a bit sad about that. Yeah, because she would have been there. Yeah should have been definitely on that list. She's definitely on the playlist that I'm going to read out to you and I know a hundred percent there was some really good choices on the little snippet that you shared of your playlists some see best mate and some that were seeing an which is really important. Yeah that great miss but I think also trying to include the old generation. It's really nice for them to hear a song sort of from their era so that they feel involved. But ultimately what I find mine unreal Love's is if I just get her up to any old tune sure, and she gets to dance with me to music. I really enjoy like mine on loves that sort of stuff. So don't worry too much about there being too many songs that perhaps you're not that familiar with to please the older Generations. Yeah, because your day away your day your way and they will just absolutely love watching you in your element another good idea for making sure that you get all these different generations of songs in there is to maybe just an idea to start your evening. With the older songs. So those people like in an and people like that get to hear those songs before the party really gets go in because you know, sometimes they might leave a bit earlier. So if you're paying their songs towards the end of the night when everyone's a lot more Mary and getting into the past of they might miss it and then that way all your best mates were going to be there to the end get to hear all the current songs that they look so you can kind of do it Through the Ages. Yes, it's a good way of, you know, keeping the party going to make and it gives you as a couple This is how to curate your playlist exact, isn't it? Yeah, absolutely. Do you know what was my favorite song from your playlist Gordo? I mean you had quite a variety my very very favorite. Let's go in there. I mean old Acapulco. Literally for years and it's the very first song I ever bought on a vinyl. I think that was one for if I remember correctly one for my husband's parents. Oh my word again. If you've never heard of it get it on the YouTube actual chewed so quickly quick quick fire round yet spinning around Kylie Minogue. Oh, yeah. I don't feel like dancing Scissor Sisters. Yeah, push it salt and pepper laughter. I Can't Get No Satisfaction. Faction the Rolling Stone, not the Brittany version. Not the Brittany version. Okay. Hey boys. Hey girls for The Chemical Brothers. Yeah the Way I Are Timberland no. Love it Gold Digger Kanye West. Yeah. Mr. Brightside The Killers absolute word and essential that one. What are you waiting for? Gwen Stefani? Yes, Maneater Nelly Furtado relight my fire take that and Lulu Dancing On The Ceiling Lionel Richie Dude Looks Like A Lady Aerosmith Amazing White. Ting Billy Idol Oh rocks Primal scream Toxic Britney Spears knew that be a Britney a nurse Heartbreaker William Common People Pope. Oh, yeah Chain Reaction Diana Ross. I've another clue who requested that Vogue Madonna standard Friday. I'm in Love by The Cure Breakfast at Tiffany's deep blue something. Wow, My Sharona the nap Whenever Wherever Shakira fuck is, you know, That's who I want to be a part of magic or also should get Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon which is actually one of the names of our tables because we had our table names after some of the songs that we had on our place. So you've got a real real eclectic mix on there. Yes. Oh and I missed out. Give me all your loving by ZZ Top which was a request from my dad who has got two left feet two right arms, honestly when they talk about Dad dancing you've Not seen it anything until you've seen him dance to give me all your love thing. I'll just leave that to your imagination and it's these songs that make the evening so memorable isn't it? Exactly so it's really nice to get requests in a good or bad way. Well, yeah either way bring them on but really good and I feel like your playlist but was definitely from 10 years ago. Sorry kids obviously, but don't fear. Current brides-to-be. We have got an updated version of the playlist and I've included in it some answers that you gave to my Instagram question about telling us your top five must have songs for your wedding party playlist. So they're all included as well. So thanks very much for helping me out with that one. We have a Spotify account. So if you search for rock my wedding on Spotify, we will come up and you will see this playlist in full on there. So you can steal it use a few bits from it. Absolutely. Right off some of the songs if they're not up your street late. Why are you cooking the dinner yet? Get used to it get a feel for it. See if it gives you all the party Vibes and by all means use it if that's what it's about how you're going to play your music whether that is DJ band iPhone, whatever it might be. Only word of device here is to try not to get swept up with what everyone else has been having at their wedding. Yes. Do not please don't do trendy when it comes to entertainment. No because trendy might not necessarily be you and you're not going to enjoy it now and for example, you know, there's there's no point you employing a swing buttoned if you've got zero interest in the sound of a swing band exactly just because you know, three other friends had it doesn't mean you have to have it. No, but swing bands are great. I'm just saying if it's not your thing. You don't don't do that because everybody else is it's all about bringing it back to your own taste to make sure your day is as memorable as possible. And if you're hiring abandoned that they'll have their own set list as well. Like we've learned about make sure you see the set list and that you're happy with all the tunes that are on the set list and you can ask them to learn new songs if there's something you really want that's not on there, but I don't expect them to always say yes to that big night and if they do they might be like him a supplement that you have to pay because they're going to have to get together and use their time and resources to be able to her. Is that song on them? Play it for you now, that's right the logistics, you know to get together later saying rehearse and make sure they get that song right it's going to cost them money. So if you want a specific song that they don't have you might incur an extra fee for that. So just ask them about that, you know, they'll be more than happy to discuss that with you you looking for abandon you struggling at the minute, please visit rock my wedding doctor at UK forward slash the list because the bands that we have on there are phenomenal and you won't be disappointed by any of those. So if you're struggling head there because that should be it. First place to start really to try and Whittle it down. Yes, I'd you would like to have when it comes to both your band and your DJ you really need to remember that they are professionals and you can provide them with your playlist. But also you need to trust them to do their job as well and an experienced band or an experienced DJ will know which songs people get on their feet too and they should be able to read your guests and sort of see what's making them excited. Yeah, and then choose songs that are along that same day lately partygoers. It has a particular genre of music and they put it on Everyone leaves maybe don't play but genre yet again. You would hope they would get that, you know, oh, they're not down for that. I need to stick more to whatever it might be. Yeah, known up $19 System of a Down which that's the saying I noticed in these notes that Becky has not mentioned yet. I yeah, I skipped over that bit didn't I basically just a bit of anything, you know, I'll take the System of a Down just just FYI. My husband has to guilty. Sirs, right one is System of a Down. Okay, you two should totally get together and talk about mostly we will get can we just talk about the second one, please which we had not been together that long. I want to say maybe like a year and when used have cd players and your car. Oh, yeah, and he's like, you know, yeah, I do. Do you have a guilty pleasure music I thought alright if you switch over to the glove box, I think you know, okay you ready for this back here go on Enrique and lazy. He's gonna kill me. She gonna kill me. But that is the truth. And then worse plus he had his car stolen and after being concerned about the actual car being stolen the second thing you said was other taken of my CDs Enrique in there. I'm not being funny, but they're not going to be impressed. Wow with the next car with the Enrique in the glove box and armored with I have all of the not a clue. I remember seeing a thing with Anthony when he used to rock up in his Fiat Punto to pick me up and he went I think it was a petrol station something. I haven't his glove box. He had sweet like chocolate in there, you know from back in the garage day. Okay, but tune also so I can do this All right. So here's a tip. If you're unsure about your future husband or wife to be check. What's in the glove box. You think can be very telling is their musical guilty pleasure and because In years to come they might make you play at your wedding. Well Enrico's definitely not on my list normal, perhaps we should add it on actually for James. Okay. So yes allow your music professional some creative license basically is what yeah. Okay.
