The Cocktail Hour Music Playlists Wedding Guests Will Love

To help you figure out the best cocktail hour music for your big day, check out these cocktail hour playlists of our favorites.

The cocktail hour is when you finally get to sip, munch, and mingle before the reception starts. It’s important to set the mood for the fun evening ahead, but also keep the cocktail hour music mellow (and played at a low volume!) so it doesn’t overshadow the conversation. This is a great time to play some of your favorites as a couple to add your own vibe into the mix. But don’t forget about your guests, make sure to include classic favorites, jazz tunes, or songs that, while beautiful, aren’t particularly easy to dance to. So take your time putting together your wedding cocktail hour playlists, and remember, the dance floor bangers will come latter!

Quick Tip/ When planning your wedding cocktail hour playlists, keep in mind most cocktail hours typically last anywhere from 60-80 minutes, so no more than 18-22 songs can be played.
