Every song was chosen by hand by an experienced wedding DJ, not pulled from an algorithm or a streaming chart. It's the reference professionals reach for while building a set, and the one couples open when they want their soundtrack to mean something.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1,875 songs. 1,333 artists.
