Playlist: Wedding Cocktail Hour Favorites - Oldies Edition

You’ve just say your “I Do’s” and now it’s time for you and your guests to mingle and sip drinks: cue the cocktail hour playlist! Typically, music during this part of the celebration includes a wide range of genres and isn’t too upbeat in order for guests to be able to converse (and refrain from dancing until after dinner).

Downbeat entertainment specialists are always getting requests for oldies and Motown music to be a part of wedding celebrations, so the team decided to curate a cocktail hour playlist specifically for this genre!

Here are the top three song requests:

1. Lovely Day - Bill Withers

2. Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison

3. You Make My Dreams - Daryl Hall & John Oates
