Best wedding songs to sing and dance to, as recommended by Singapore's top DJs

Who better than actual DJs to advise on what to play on your special day? From wedding marches to receptions, check out what these married experts have to say — and no, there's none of that Sixpence None the Richer or Shania Twain business up their sleeves.

Casie Lane of Parental Control

When: "This song can seriously get you in the mood so if you are getting married, leave this one for the bedroom."

Darren Tan of Dubwise

When: "The first wedding dance. This has to be one of the greatest love songs by one of the greatest singers alive! The lyrics are about how a couple should support each other."

Cherry Chan of Syndicate

When: "Best played for the first wedding dance. This track from Jill Scott is one of my favourites. I love its tenderness."

Debbie Chia of Midnight Shift

When: "During the wedding reception when welcoming guests."

Kavan Spruyt of Midnight Shift

When: "Start of the wedding dance."

Ginette Chittick

When: "After the wedding speech when your husband least expects it! I used it as a surprise present to my husband Shawn when I gave my speech. I was nervous as hell, but it was heaps of fun."

Dean Chew of Darker Than Wax

When: "Best played at the start of the evening to create the perfect vibe. It's an all-time staple by the great J Dilla. Sublime and emotional."

Matt Law of Law & Order

When: "Can be played at anytime."

Maurice Simon, not married but open to the idea

When: "Last song of the night before everyone goes home."
