Although DJs generally are not so keen on taking requests, it’s a completely different story when it comes to weddings. Naturally, we understand that this is not the time when we want the spotlight to shine on us, as you are the show’s stars! With that in mind, we always aim to make your event the complete reflection of yourselves and your unique love story. So, the choice of wedding songs is of utmost importance.
Of course, every celebration of love is different, and the wedding playlist tends to follow suit. Typically, we implement our own picks. However, it always comes down to the couples’ wishes. After all, that’s what makes it fun, since no two weddings are the same! But, as almost a standard, certain wedding songs are highly requested. Almost as a magical happenstance, everyone is either throwing down on the floor or delicately swaying in their partner’s embrace whenever they’re played. “Thinking out Loud†by Ed Sheeran rings a bell?
That said, we’d like to list these stand-out wedding songs that are absolute must-haves on your playlist. However, we won’t only mention reception songs. To get the full They Are Playing Our Song Atlanta wedding DJ experience, we’ve also included our top picks for significant events that are part of the event, like getting ready, the exit, and so forth. Load up your music service and create the perfect wedding playlist!

Wedding Reception Songs
Our Top Pick: “Paper Rings†– Taylor Swift
America’s sweetheart is dominating the world with her sold-out tour, but she’s no stranger to weddings as well. Since her lyrics are masterfully romantic, it’s no wonder why many couples choose to feature the pop superstar in their wedding music playlists. Of course, everyone goes for the classic “Love Story†and “You Belong With Meâ€. However, our choice comes right from her vault. “Paper Rings†from her album “Loverâ€, and the lyrics are as sweet as ever. Through drum-thumping beats, she sings, “I like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper ringsâ€. Clearly, it doesn’t get better than that!
