Great picks! Vitamin String Quartet is the best. =)
I love so many of these songs! Also, the Paul Simon song is a wonderful song and a perfect choice for the Father/Daughter dance! =)
Love your choices!! Check out Boyce Ave... I love every cover by them...
Great music choices!
Just be sure to tell your DJ that if a guest requests a song and it's not on your do-not-play-list that he can play it. And make sure he understands. I told my DJ that he could take requests as long as the songs on our do-not-play-list. Anytime a guest requested a song he told the guest that they had to clear the song by me first. Ugh. I had 5+ people come up to me mid-conversation with someone else to ask if a song could be played. I wasn't annoyed with them-- I was annoyed with our dumb DJ.
Great choices!
Great selections Kristina- I guess you’re pretty much excited on your wedding day. You could also check Bruno Mars album-his songs are really great!
