Hi Rochelle!
There are many many different options for wedding playlists, this depends on the type of wedding etc. An Irish wedding will not have the same playlist as a German or Jewish weidding. You must also distinguish between the live band scenario and the DJ one. Live bands have their own playlist that are well rehearsed but can also play a wide selection of old and new tunes, giving a live touch to the music. The DJ on the other hand play exactly what you want to hear. Having said that here are some more popular playlists that might be considered "classic".
