23 Viral Songs To Play At Your Reception

Wedding DJ

Your guests will definitely know these viral songs!

*updated for 2022 weddings

We all know what happens with viral songs… they get overplayed and then you never want to hear it again. Until maybe your wedding day! Our Mike Staff Productions DJ team put together a list of current viral hits that will be sure to get your guests on the dance floor. 

That’s what every couple wants at their wedding reception, right? I’m talking about a PACKED dance floor!  Accomplishing that gigantic goal starts, number one, with a top-notch wedding DJ! (Ugh, we can help in that area!) We say that because it’s true!  

After being a a part of 25,000 weddings, over the last 20 years – you could say our professional wedding DJs have picked up a few tricks along the way to get the party started right and keep it going strong!

3 Ways to Keep Your Dance Floor Packed at Your Wedding

  1. Be smart with your seating chart. Seat friends and family who love to dance closest to the dance floor. The number one complaint amateur DJs receive is about volume control or lack thereof!
  2. I know this may sound cliche but get on the dance floor and DANCE! If the bride and groom are on the floor, the guests will follow.
  3. You need a professional wedding DJ that knows how to read a room and know what types of songs to play and most importantly when to play them….

That includes the classic songs everyone loves AND the new viral hits! Talk with your wedding DJ before your reception to discuss adding newer tunes to your wedding playlist to give your reception that modern touch. This Spotify playlist should help with song inspiration.

DJ Derrick is by far the best DJ in the entire world! He got the whole party going WILD and had the absolute best mixes. We were so picky on our music and he delivered. Would highly recommend Derrick!

DJ James was our DJ this past August in Detroit and just exceeded our expectations in every way. First, the communications with the staff at Mike Staff was excellent. Booking was easy and prices were clear and fair. DJ James arrived prepared, lead us as the Emcee through the grand entrances, speeches, first dances, and even did some shoutouts we requested during the reception. He was professional and knew exactly what he was doing, what a weight off my chest!! I would highly recommend DJ James from Mike Staff Productions again. He was the DJ at my sister’s wedding and she couldn’t reccomend him enough; I’m so glad I took her advice!

I can’t say enough good things about the absolute pros my husband and I worked with to create a memorable wedding with our loved ones. But I will try. We appreciated the intake process, how much the Mike Staff crew thought through the details beforehand. There was no stone left unturned in their willingness to understand our style, story, and needs. Both vendors took their time in getting to know us and how to collaborate on such an important day. It was easy to talk to them and fun to plan with them. Ron, our DJ, brought so much energy and professionalism to that dance floor and building the musical story we wanted. I am a huge music lover so every song had to have its moment. Ron ran with our ideas and orchestrated transitions seamlessly, especially during the ceremony. Motown cocktail hour was cool and groovy with the Detroit Zoo’s penguins torpedoing and marching around in the background. Dance floor had a bit of everything. First dances were magical, and I loved that conga line.

Booking Ron for our September wedding was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. He was extremely personable and helped us throughout the whole planning process and kept the dance floor absolutely packed all night long! He played a perfect mix of songs that the older folks of the wedding loved, but kept the dance floor alive with more modern music as well!! We highly highly recommend Ron if you are looking for a DJ. Thank you so much Ron for an amazing night! ❤️

Mike Staff was absolutely amazing for our wedding photographer and DJ. They sent us a few profiles of professionals that were available on our date, and we chose from there. Both the photographer and DJ were above and beyond our expectations, and truly felt like such a huge part of our day. They were communicative, helpful, and so easy to work with! I would recommend them to anyone!

My DJ services were great. Reasonably priced. DJ Chris was exceptional at communicating with me prior to our wedding to have different genres of music. He kept the crowd engaged in the music and dancing. I are very satisfied with my services and I highly recommend.
