    Is there such a thing?  We are going to use an iPod for our wedding.  FI is in charge of the playlist, but I'm wondering what percentage of the songs should be slow.  Is there a rule of thumb for us to follow?

    My DJ told me that the rule of thumb was to slow things down at certain parts of the cermony.   Our reception was as follows:

    Grand Entrance

    First Dance

    Father-Daughter

    Mother-Son

    Toasts

    Then we had slower tempo songs  and built up to faster tempo songs.  The last song before dinner was a slow song

    Dinner

    Slower tempo Songs build up to faster tempo songs.  The last song before the cake cutting was slow.

    Cake cutting

    Slower tempo Songs build up to faster tempo songs.  The last song before the bouquet toss was slow.

    After the bouquet toss we partied,l the music started fast.  Our last song was a slow song to allow us time to say good bye to everyone.

     

    Good luck!
