Enjoy! Rock on!

As evidenced by this eclectic list, rock covers a wide range of music. There’s a lot to choose from, but we can guarantee that each song on this list will have your wedding guests hopping, jumping and having a blast at your wedding.

If you’re having trouble choosing a playlist for your wedding, start by thinking about the kind of mood you’d like to set. Do you want it be fun and silly or serious and romantic? You can mix it up by having the ceremony music more romantic and the reception more playful and fun. Music can have a big effect on the feeling of a room. More than decorations or the colours you choose, music will set the tone for your wedding. Thinking about the kind of tone you want to set will help you narrow down the types of songs to use. And if all else fails… Choose rock!
