This blog focuses on great songs couples want played at their weddings. But did you know some couples provide a list of banned wedding songs they absolutely don’t want played at their affairs?
So if one of their guests slips us a request, we won’t play it if it’s on the banned list.
For example, People Magazine reported that a growing cadre of brides don’t want “Uptown Funk” played at their wedding, simply because it’s been so overdone. From our perspective, it’s a song that always packs the dance floor, but your wedding is about you and your music personality. Take a listen and decide:
Banned wedding songs tend to fall into two main categories: silly dance songs and overdone dance songs. (Sometimes, they’re the same thing!)
In the former group, the top three banned wedding songs (according to FiveThirtyEight) are “Chicken Dance,” “Cha-Cha Slide,” and “Macarena:”

Cha Cha Slide
Macarena
The latter category includes ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline,” and “We Are Family” by Sister Sledge. These same songs are also on lists of favorite wedding dance songs, because they get people dancing and singing.
