You might also break out the Nuggets compilations. I went to the wedding of a garage rock couple, and both old and young people were really into dancing to the old 60s garage stuff, even songs that weren't well known.

You could play some disco like Donna Summer and ABBA. Or some old country music like Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, or Loretta Lynn.

You have this insurance to fall back on: people ALWAYS dance at weddings. Always. But, man, if they don't, it's on you.

If you know Kurt Reighley, ask him for some advice. He's done a lot of weddings, and knows how to please that fickle crowd.

Also, former Seattle DJ Michael Antonia has a new company that specializes in "cool" weddings, check his site for some music pointers: http://www.theflashdance.com/

* More than 1, but no more than 5 classic Motown songs that everyone knows (excluding Michael Jackson - who you can feel free to flog to death as everyone is still in love with him).

* Whatever the top 3 pop singles of the last three months are. When 18-40 year old women are drunk, they know no songs other than the latest 3 pop singles. Old people will pretend to be down with hip-hop as long as its not threatening.

* Breathers: include smaltzy slow songs because you can't go full throttle for hours with older folks, they need to stop for a break and/or slow dance at some point.
