Jeff + Amber Photography

Wedding season is officially upon us. While there are many things to prepare for as you plan your special day, one of the most important is finding a list of songs for your guests to dance to. If you're a retro guy or gal, then we have the perfect playlist for you! Keep scrolling for some of the best '50s music for your reception (if you want oldies from the '50s, '60s, and '70s, we have that too), and then check out all of our wedding music content.
