80’s Wedding Songs That Will Pack the Dance Floor
We’ve done the work of compiling Bride’s & Groom’s music requests, consulted with all of our Star Talent Bandleaders and Wedding DJs and have formulated the top dance songs by decade. All of these songs are Dance-able for a wedding reception dance party. We are looking for the best 80’s wedding music and we think we got it!
NOTE: Some great rock songs are purposefully left out because they are great “driving in the car tunes” but not great Dance Songs.
