Wedding Music: When It's Ok To Like Cheesy Songs

wedding musicAs musicians and music lovers we are all partial to our own genres. If you’re like us, you’ll find that it’s hard to admit that you like some of the cheesy songs that get played at weddings because…well, your taste is just too refined for Miley Cyrus. However, we find that even some of the biggest music snobs are open to all sorts of cheese when it comes to picking wedding music. Once we are planning a wedding, it seems like we are given a pass on our snobbish ways. East Coast knows this because we get many requests to play songs that probably will never show up on the bride and grooms iPod.
