Top 30 Songs That Will Keep the Party Going

I’ve said it before, if the music and entertainment at your reception is sub-par, so will be the party! While it’s true that your guests come to the wedding to see you join your hands in marriage, they also expect to have a good time after the ceremony! Who could blame them right? After all, a wedding is a celebration of the joining of two individuals, thus a party is in order! But how do you keep the party going? 

For most couples, the reception is a time to eat, drink and dance like there’s no tomorrow! Even if you have other forms of entertainment (like a photo booth, video game station, etc.), most couples are still going to have dancing of some sort! Now the topic of hiring a band vs a DJ is conversation of its own and something that I have covered in a separate blog, so we’re not going to touch on that here. The whole purpose of this blog is to give you some ammunition to use in the war against lame reception vibes! So, as a favor to you all, I have compiled what I believe to be the top 30 songs that are capable of getting everyone to the dance floor, enjoy!
