Countdown to Trudi's wedding; the music debate

Countdown to Trudi's wedding; the music debate

Every great wedding reception needs a really good live band or disco and Trudi has chosen a client who has been a huge supporter of Guides for Brides since we started in 1995, Adrian North Disco.

Over coffee this morning the office debated the top 5 "must have" wedding reception songs, and the 5 guaranteed to kill the party and after much debate on whether we could include "all songs by Status Quo" in either list, we have the ultimate top 5.

Our Top 5 classic Wedding Disco songs:

  1. Dancing Queen by Abba
  2. I've had the Time of my Life from Dirty Dancing
  3. The One that I Want from Greece
  4. The Road to Amarillo by Tony Christie
  5. YMCA by The Village People

And the 5 to avoid:

  1. D-I-V-O-R-C-E by Dolly Parton
  2. Agadoo by Black Lace
  3. The Macarena by Los del Rio
  4. **** You by Eamon
  5. Walking in the Air by Aled Jones
