Choosing the last song for a wedding can sometimes be a very tricky job. It’s the final note of a couple’s big day, and the last memory the guests will have of the entire night. Not just any song will do. I tend to choose songs that bring people back to a certain time in their life, and I try to keep it upbeat to go out with the energy high and hands in the air but will gladly put on a more sentimental song if the couple wants to end on a sweeter note. Here, my top picks to end your party on the right note.
