Bruno Mars and Train share the spotlight with Elvis and Etta, according to latest GigMasters.com survey
Event entertainment booking service GigMasters.com today announces the Top Songs for 2012 weddings. The lists are based on a survey of recently married and soon-to-be married brides and grooms.
“Can’t Help Falling in Love and At Last remain the most popular songs, with newer songs like Train’s Marry Me breaking into the top 5,” says Marta Segal Block, GigMasters’ Editorial Director. “Although many of the songs being chosen aren’t new, what is new is that brides and grooms are taking a larger role in choosing the rest of the songs for the reception. The majority of couples are creating “Must Play” and “Do Not Play” lists for their reception, and some are even creating specific set lists.”
