I’ve been to my fair share of weddings! Being a Toronto wedding photographer for almost 10 years would make it impossible to NOT notice the songs that packed the dance floor.


The key to finding the best music to get the party going, is to take your guests into consideration! Determine the young and the older crowds; you want EVERYONE jumping to the dance floor right from the start. It’s not as easy as simply playing your own favorite songs, think of each decade and the biggest songs that made everyone want to sing along.


Music is my passion and so is sharing my favorites list! Below, I’ve put together songs (in no particular order) that I KNOW heat up EVERY wedding and event I’ve ever been to, regardless of the group of people.
