Are you sick of hearing the SAME music every wedding you attend?
Use the lists below to help create your perfect wedding playlist!

FINAL THOUGHTS:
Some of the songs I have suggested might contain bad words or might be inappropriate for your family. Please take time to sort through the songs to make sure they are appropriate for your guests.
I created this list for my wedding and spent a lot of time on it. I want to share anything I can to make everyone's planning process a bit easier!
Cheers,
Jennifer Ipsan
