We want to make sure that everyone has a great time at the reception. To that end, peruse the playlist (below) we’ve compiled so far. Some of the songs/artists may not be familiar to you…Pete and I do have “eclectic” tastes in music. But, be assured that whatever we choose is going to be dance-able and memorable! Feel free to make suggestions for music that you would like to hear by adding a comment to this post. The only exceptions we have: absolutely no Macarena, Chicken Dance, or YMCA.
