7. Aerosmith – “I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing”
In my opinion, Aerosmith’s “I don’t wanna miss a thing” is the most romantic song in the world. It’s beautiful, romantic, and the lyrics will melt even the coldest person.
Don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing.
8. Eric Clapton – “Wonderful Tonight”
Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight” is the standard when it comes to weddings, and it’s amazing for any part of it. It’s a wonderful way to show appreciation towards the person next to you, and you may want to play it at a lesbian wedding reception.
These should definitely keep your reception (and your guests) hopping along! Before we close, we do have a few tips for DJs preparing for their first gay or lesbian wedding,
Tips for DJs preparing for their first same-sex wedding
First, don’t feel like every single song has to be written by, for, or about same-sex couples in love. There are so many wonderful gender neutral love songs out there, too! These make beautiful ideas for slow songs.
That said, make sure you choose plenty of upbeat songs that everyone can dance too! Along with those shared above, there are plenty of non-love songs to fill the evening. I’m betting you have plenty of those on tap already, so go ahead and use the songs that you know everyone loves to dance to!
Remember, the couple hired you for a reason. They like your style! So, aside from choosing some beautiful lesbian wedding songs to include in the mix, don’t worry too much about filling the night with LGBTQ-specific songs, unless they ask you to do so.
Creating a playlist for a lesbian wedding can seem hard at first sight, but all these songs will definitely help you create something amazing.
