When choosing songs for the evening of your wedding, don’t forget to think about Cocktail Hour!

Most couples overlook this part of the night, since they’re usually out taking pictures with the photographer, but all of your friends and family will be mingling – some even meeting for the first time! It’s a special part of the night and it’s important to set the right mood before your grand entrance to reception starts.

As professional DJs (Atlanta’s DJ Cuttlefish) who have worked countless weddings, here are 22 of our favorite go-to songs to play for a classy cocktail hour. Feel free to save this playlist, snag your favorites or add it to your own wedding playlist.

Enjoy classic artists like Michael Buble, Leon Bridges, Etta James, Alicia Keys, and more.
