is it bad luck to play break up songs at weddings?

some of my favourite songs are sad lol, do you often have couples ask you to play non-love songs?

I don't see a problem.

Bagpipers are often performing 'retreat' tunes at ceremonies. This is sort of the same thing.

It's not bad luck but it doesn't help, weddings are a time for celebration and there are sooo many happy celebratory songs to choose from.

It's not bad luck. It's your wedding day and so you ultimately get to choose whatever music you want to listen to and the vibe you want to create.

its not about luck but about creating what you want.  Sometimes a break up song can also mean that you would never want that to happen to you.    I am sure not everyone pays real attention to lyrics but the more at the melody.   However if its a concern to you then maybe this is warning sign to not play the songs that talk about breakups.. .its not a matter about good or bad luck by more to do with taking action to create what you want  and using whatever tool you want.   The meaning you give to things is always your choice so follow your heart.

We don't think it's 'bad luck' and there is definitley an opportunity on your wedding day to play songs that you enjoy that might have a not-so-loving feel - during Canapes and later on the night for example. In saying this, we probably wouldn't suggest picking a break up song for a special moment during the ceremony as you definitly want those love vibes to be flowing then!

Hi thanks for your question. Weddings receptions are always a happy and fun time to celebrate your special day.I play songs that make people have a good time, if its something that you really want to do you should discuss with your Dj.

Kind Regards

Traditionally, we like to play music that is up tempo and entertaining for the guests.  We like to set a mood and try to create a great atmosphere that matches the occasion. You wouldn't play songs that bring people down or remind them of bad times etc. Unless the song is a crowd favourite or a special request from the bride and groom, we would try to avoid as many sad songs as posiible. Is is bad luck? Probably not. Unless you are very superstitious.

I think you make your own luck on the big day, and if you like a song that's what really counts. That said, it can be good to make  the special moments (walk down the aisle, first dance etc.) that much warmer of happier with music to suit. Just remember it's YOUR day so whatever you want is what your should ask for!

Songs are songs as long as it doesnot evoke emotions when you play them.
