Crafting a Rock ‘n Roll Wedding Playlist

Since you have a wide range of rock ‘n roll songs to choose from, crafting your rock ‘n roll wedding playlist can seem challenging. Some great tips to help narrow down your song selections include:

Choose songs you both like: It’s your special day, so include songs you both like in your playlist. It could be songs you danced to on date nights or songs with special meaning for you both.
Select a high-energy song for the wedding entrance: You want a rock song that is upbeat to get your guests excited and energized.
Don’t limit yourself to just one genre of rock: You are free to choose songs from all the rock genres. This way, you have a variety of songs for everyone to enjoy.
Select a song with deep meaning for the first dance: At your reception, choose a special rock song you both feel reflects your love and relationship that led you to your wedding day.
Steer clear of sad rock songs: Some rock songs can talk about breakups or other sad things. You will want to avoid these so you don’t bring down the energy level.
Consider the age of your guests: Some rock songs can have explicit lyrics that may not be appropriate for younger guests. Reserve these songs for your private adult afterparty.

Why Choose Rock Songs From Different Eras?

When creating your rock ‘n roll wedding playlist, it is recommended to choose rock songs from different eras. Most people have favorite songs from various artists in different eras, such as Elvis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Nirvana, Royal Blood, and U2. In addition, if you have older guests, like your parents or grandparents, at your wedding, choosing rock songs you like from when they were younger will ensure they are equally engaged and have fun, too.

What If Our Wedding Is Themed to a Specific Rock Band?

When your wedding is themed to a specific rock band like KISS, you will want to include a variety of your favorite songs from the band. However, you shouldn’t limit your playlist to just songs from that band. Do some research to find out what rock legends inspired band members, and select your favorite songs from those legends to round out your wedding playlist.

For example, KISS was inspired by heavy metal and glam rock, as well as various rock ‘n roll legends, such as:

Alice Cooper
New York Dolls
Led Zeppelin
The Beatles
Slade
Mott the Hoople
Black Sabbath
The Rolling Stones
Grand Funk Railroad

So, for a KISS-themed wedding, you could include songs from these legends when creating your rock ‘n roll wedding playlist.
