DJ Romeo’s top wedding picks for 2011
ALTHOUGH weddings have a traditional vibe to them, more and more brides and grooms are requesting modern love songs. These are not the songs that get both grandma and cousin Steve on the dancefloor together – they’re played at the cocktail hour, dinner and receptions.
In all my years handling weddings, songs tend to come up again and again, regardless of how formal or informal the rest of the ceremony has been. These songs are often requested by the bride and groom in advance, but frequently a good DJ just knows the right way to set the mood. These songs have all been released in the past decade (most are quite new), and are sure to bring on the happy tears. So, if you or a friend have a wedding coming up, consider adding these songs to the playlist.
