10 Best House/EDM Songs for Your Wedding Reception Playlist
1. “Let Me Love You” - DJ Shake ft. Justin Bieber. This 2016 hit by DJ Shake and Justin Bieber is a requirement on any EDM playlist. It has all the requirements of a great dance song. It has singable lyrics, solid bass, and a poppy melody. You’ll be humming this tune all night long.
2. “The Upside” - Lindsey Stirling ft. Elle King. This song starts with a gentle beginning and strong lyrics, but the pace quickly picks up and turns into a bouncing dance number. Elle King combines electronic beats with the organic sounds of the violin, making it a uniquely signature song.
3. “Day ‘N Nite” - Kid Cudi (Crookers Remix). Who doesn’t like an EDM remix? This house version of Kid Cudi’s hit song turns it from a relaxing hip-hop song to the perfect party song. Kid Cudi’s lyrics take on a whole new meaning when laid over an electronic beat.
4. “#SELFIE” - Chainsmokers. This song has a fun intro and a hopping beat you can listen to over and over again. Take selfies with your wedding party to this playful dance tune.
5. “Wake Me Up” - Avicii. This artist manages to blend two very unlikely genres into a sweet, chart-topping song. Wake Me Up is both a country music song and a dance song at the same time, and it’s a guaranteed favorite for anyone at your wedding reception who enjoys both genres.
6. “Joy” - for KING & COUNTRY. This dance song has an old school feel even though it was recorded in 2018. It’s a unique combination of a strong beat and equally strong vocals. Choose joy and add this funky song to your wedding reception playlist.
7. “Happier” - Marshmello ft. Bastille. Characterized by a slower beat laid under heartwarming vocals, this song by Marshmello can fit seamlessly into any type of playlist. It pairs electronic tones with a slow tempo, making it a perfect candidate for a first dance song or a cake cutting song.
8. “Get Lucky” - Daft Punk ft. Pharrell. This disco-funk song performed by the French music duo Daft Punk with vocals by Pharrell can be enjoyed by all ages. It combines 80s funk with modern musicians, ensuring a dance song that older generations can enjoy as much as younger generations.
9. “One Kiss” - Calvin Harris ft. Dua Lipa. No EDM/House playlist is complete without at least one Calvin Harris song, and if you have to pick only one, this Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa collaboration should take the spot. One listen is all it takes to fall in love with this song.
10. “Safe and Sound” - Capital Cities. Barely making the EDM/House cut, this song by Capital Cities is another song that blurs the music lines. It has an electronic beat and features witty lyrics at the same time. It’s a universal dance tune, so you can enjoy this song even if you’re not a die-hard EDM fan.
For a hopping party, remember you want more fast songs than slow ones. The sweet spot is adding a slower song every twenty minutes, or adding one slow song after every five dance songs, but if you’ve got a great party going, don’t be afraid to slide in a few more dance songs before adding an obligatory slow jam.
