You’ve booked the venue. You’ve chosen your florals. You’ve hired your DJ \u2014 and are now curating your perfect wedding playlist filled with your all-time favourite songs. But what about the melodies you don’t want to hear on your magical day? Is it okay to have a do-not-play list at your wedding? According to our experts, YES! As Melbourne’s Velvet Moon Acoustic Duo<\/strong><\/a> expresses:<\/p>\n

“We all have songs that we dislike for various reasons. It’s not uncommon for a couple to ask that we exclude a few particular songs or a particular artist. It’s your day, no one else’s \u2014 your desires come first.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Whether you want to minimise the cheese or want to avoid at all costs hearing the song that broke your heart many moons ago \u2014 you’ll be happy to learn that your chosen entertainers have your back!<\/p>\n

“It’s important that entertainers avoid playing that song that would ruin your night. Everyone’s taste is different. There might be a song from a funeral you wouldn’t want to hear, or you might just cringe every time you hear Daryl Braithwaite’s ‘Horses’ in a pub while everyone else is belting out the words.”<\/em> \u2014 Spinning Disc Entertainment, Melbourne<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\nbrowse wedding musicians<\/span><\/a>\n

From corny dance tunes to outdated ballads, here are the songs that real couples have included on their wedding do-not-play list:<\/em><\/h5>\n

Cheesy Dance Move Tunes<\/h4>\n

Some call them ‘classics’; others are so bold as to say they ‘loathe the song’! From the Chicken Dance<\/em> and Duck Dance<\/em> to Eagle Rock<\/em> \u2014 we’re starting to think people have a thing against birds\u2026 Nevertheless, with a whopping 12 out of 32 votes, the Nutbush line dance performed to Tina Turner’s Nutbush City Limits<\/em> is easily one of the top do-not-play tunes on couples’ wedding lists, followed closely by the Macarena<\/em>! While your guests may be keen to bust a move and get their limbs flailing about, if you prefer they do so to a tune that doesn’t make you want to reach for the earplugs, it’s entirely up to you!<\/p>\n

“Everyone’s taste is different. We often find half our clients can’t wait to do the Nutbush or the Macarena with their family and friends, but the other half can’t stand the thought of it.”<\/em> \u2014 Spinning Disc Entertainment, Melbourne.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
