Wedding Music Selection
You might talk about your origin story, your team, highlight awards or recognitions, or share photos. Tap into your creativity. You’ve got this. The way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
A wedding isn’t a wedding without some disco bangers, some soul smoochers and some straight up funky beats. Given dance music’s roots in these genres of music, we are absolute experts in this section.
For this selection, expect hits such as:
"September" - Earth, Wind & Fire: An obligatory offering to the gods of disco! This feel-good song is celebrated for its catchy melody and lively rhythm, embodying the spirit of celebration and happiness. It's a perfect party-starter regardless of the month.
