Some songs work every single time. The first few notes ring out, someone shrieks, and suddenly the dancefloor is full.
These are the 90s and 00s anthems we can rely on to fill the floor at any wedding, plus the song we always open with, the one we always save for last, and the surprise hit that catches everyone out.
The opener: Golden Touch
We always open with Golden Touch by Razorlight. It's bright, fast and instantly recognisable, and it tells the room the party has started. Guests who were hovering by the bar start drifting over before the first chorus.
Ten floor-fillers that never fail
In no particular order, because any one of these will do the job.
I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor · Arctic Monkeys
The title says it all. That opening riff is an instant call to the dancefloor.
Chelsea Dagger · The Fratellis
You don't need to know the words. Everyone knows the chant.
Dakota · Stereophonics
It builds and builds until the whole room is singing.
Sex on Fire · Kings of Leon
One of the biggest singalong choruses of the 2000s. Arms in the air, guaranteed.
I Predict a Riot · Kaiser Chiefs
Less of a singalong, more of a shout-along. In the best way.
Take Me Out · Franz Ferdinand
That moment when the tempo drops and the riff kicks in gets the floor jumping every time.
Sit Down · James
Watch how many guests end up sitting on the dancefloor. It always happens.
Don't Look Back in Anger · Oasis
The ultimate British singalong. Which is exactly why we save it for last.
Buck Rogers · Feeder
Short, loud and full of energy. A shot of adrenaline in the middle of a set.
Somebody Told Me · The Killers
Fast, catchy and impossible to stand still to.
The surprise hit: What You Know
What You Know by Two Door Cinema Club is the one people don't expect to love, but always do. Plenty of guests couldn't tell you the name of it, but the moment the guitar line starts they're straight onto the dancefloor.
The closer: Don't Look Back in Anger
We always finish with Don't Look Back in Anger. Arms around each other, the whole room singing the chorus back at us. There's no better way to end a wedding.
Have we ever had to say no?
Honestly? No. We've never had a request we've had to turn down. If there's a song you want, tell us and we'll do our best to make it happen. If it's one we can't do justice live, we can always play it through the PA between sets.
