Wedding Songs: 48 Wedding Songs For Your Style

All the tunes to get you through your big day -- your way.

Is anyone else going to scream if they hear "Macarena" one more time? Thought so. With so many different music choices, there’s no reason to go with a by-the-book wedding playlist. Show off your couple personality with songs that reflect your style -- and don’t sound like every other wedding you’ve ever been to. We’ve even done the work for you! Go straight with one sound style, or mix and match for an eclectic assortment that’ll have your guests up on their feet all night.

Your Wedding Style: Indie

Your wedding is as unique as you (hence the funny video montage you both created for your wedding web page). Your style is understated with quirky details, like the Converse sneakers he’s wearing with his suit or the fabric clutch you found on Etsy.com that goes perfectly with your casual, vintage dress. When it comes to music, you’re anti-Top 40 for your wedding (or any other day, while we’re at it).

Excellent DJ, great presentation -- Dorothy C, Valley Cottage, NY, 6/23/2011

My family enjoy the music and they dance all night. We had a really good time together. -- Zuane N, Somers Point, NJ, 6/17/2011

At first I have to say I was very nervous about booking a dj I never heard of or that wasn't recommended to me by someone. Well my worries disapeared once I met our dj form moltenpros, DJ Liam. He was so kind, played all the music I requested, was dancing and enjoying himself, was accommadating in everyway and put together a wonderful video montage. The outstanding low price was the main reason I decided to book this dj combined with the quality I received I will keep me using them & a few family members came up to me asking me about the dj as well. Overall- I can't say enough wonderful things about DJ Liam. He helped in making my daughters Christening a success. -- Christine P, New Hyde Park, NY, 12/4/2011

I'm an entertainer since 1992 and listed on gig masters too. My company provides high end upscale entertainment. So I know the game. Researched many DJs and selected a real pro. DJ Bravo from Affordable for all Events was the best DJ I ever met. I macro managed instead of being the DJ. Bravo played all the requests for the Bat Mitzvah candles. His mixes are just as great or better than the hot mixes he has in his audio press kit & web site. He never missed a beat, his mash mixes were awesome ! Our dancers loved his mixes. We are proud of DJ Bravo. He dressed sharp in a suit. We will be hiring him many more times in the future, hope he will fit us in. -- Dan R, Elberon, NJ, 11/12/2011 (contact 732-904-1110)

I wish I could rate higher than 5! I can't say enough good things about Carlton (DJ Bravo) and Dave. Amazing visual presentation! Perfect sound and music selections! Accommodating, professional, polite, and an endless list of positive, glowing adjectives! I am an entertainer (Almost Cher) and have worked with many great and not-so-great DJ/Sound Techs. DJ Bravo of Molten Pros is definitely at the top of my list. My client and I were thrilled with him. He ran my show as if he'd done it a thousand times. I predict that he will be so in demand that I'll have a hard time hiring him in the future. I can only hope he'll give me first priority. BRAVO FOR DJ BRAVO! -- Helene M, Berkeley Heights, NJ, 10/29/2011

Despite slow response times to a few phone calls/emails in the pre-wedding months and a few scheduling issues, they were actually the first vendors to show up on the day of the event. DJ Bravo and DJ Liam kept the party going from the moment dinner service was done til the last dance. The bride literally danced the ENTIRE time. They didn't play the last song we requested, but that was perfectly fine, as everyone loved what they put on. Overall they were great and I would definitely recommend them if you like to have a high energy party. They even threw in some extras they offer on the house! -- Evan C, New York, NY, 10/15/2011
