Lauren & Mark’s Wedding at Warren Estate

Another trip to Warren Estate, this time for Lauren and Mark’s wedding and an Evening Party celebration.

Unlike weddings where there is one very clear musical direction from the start, this was an evening that called for a really broad mix of music.

That is where reading the room becomes important.

First Dance to Bryan Adams

Lauren and Mark chose Bryan Adams – Heaven for their first dance.

From there, the evening moved through several different styles and generations, from soul, disco and funk through to 90s dance, R&B, pop, party classics and plenty of big singalong records later in the night.

There wasn’t one musical formula that was going to work all evening, so it was about watching the guests, changing direction when needed and finding the tracks that connected with the room.

A Proper Multi-Generational Wedding Playlist

One of the things I love about weddings is being able to move between generations without the music feeling disconnected.

During Lauren and Mark’s evening we went from Barry White, Luther Vandross and Sister Sledge into Whitney Houston, Madonna and Cameo, then through Robin S, CeCe Peniston and Alison Limerick.

Later we moved into Rihanna, Beyoncé, Usher and Sean Paul before finishing the night with some huge wedding singalongs including Bon Jovi, Journey, Oasis, Take That and The Beatles.

That variety is exactly why I never arrive at a wedding with a completely predetermined set.

The playlist below shows just how much ground we covered.
