7 Best Prince Songs For Live Wedding Music

So you’ve made the decision to go with live wedding music for your big day. You’ve sat down with your partner and wedding party to come up with a cool playlist. Having live wedding music and getting to choose the song list is like building the ultimate mixtape. Except this time you don’t have to cross your fingers and hope the DJ doesn’t start talking at the end and make you wait another four hours until they play “The Last of the Famous International Playboys” again (yes I remember the time of cassette tapes). You have made many decisions in the last months, so coming up with a playlist seems like the easy part. You gather your wedding party together, excluding cousin Sarah’s ex-boyfriend and his ex-vegan dinner plate request, and decide it would be fun to come up with a playlist as a unit. Everyone shows up with their list and after you consolidate everyone’s list you have five songs: Your first dance song, the father daughter dance song, Uptown Funk, Just Dance, and Generic Adele Ballad for the win. You need more songs.
