Conclusion
The best part of every wedding is the reception. It’s where the gbedu (party, music, and dancing) happens. But then, not every song makes a good wedding music playlist.
The perfect wedding music playlist should have a planned-out set of songs for every part of the event, including the perfect wedding entrance song, the right song for the father-daughter or mother-son dance.
You’ll also want the best song for the couple’s first dance. For an Igba Nkwu ceremony, it is important to also pick the perfect song for the Igbo bride’s first outing.
If you’re looking to choose a set of songs that will set the tone for your Igba Nkwu ceremony, the above playlist works great. I hope you like them.
