STATION DESCRIPTION - We offer a curated selection of wedding day music available 24/7.  As a unique digital broadcasting station, we strive to provide ideal Gospel, Hip-hop, R&B, and Smooth, Contemporary, or Traditional Jazz songs for couples planning to marry or renew their vows. Our station is designed to help couples create a personalized wedding day playlist, which they can share with their wedding DJ or enjoy during date nights and other special occasions.

MONDAY – FRIDAY SHOWS

 

6 AM to 10 AM -  Gospel Love & Inspiration airs every morning. The program features a rotation of Contemporary Gospel hits and Gospel songs that emphasize themes of love in their lyrics. These selections are perfect for those seeking a religious wedding day music experience free from secular influences, or they may simply inspire you to clap your hands, stomp your feet, and send words of praise into the atmosphere.

 

10 AM to 2 PM - The Prelude consists of love songs played 30 minutes before the ceremony starts, while guests are ushered to their seats. The show repeats overnight from 10 PM to 2 AM.

 

2 PM to 6 PM - The Processional & Recessional are songs played as the wedding party walks down the aisle and when they exit the ceremony space. Typically, slower songs are chosen for the wedding party to gracefully make their way down the aisle, while upbeat songs are often selected for everyone to dance back up the aisle during the exit. The music repeats overnight from 2 AM to 6 AM.

 

6 PM to 10 PM - The Reception airs daily and features the latest R&B chart-topping hits, Old School and Throwbacks. Nonetheless, we advise against playing all of the songs for your reception dance floor, because some songs have inappropriate lyrics that are not suitable for a wedding day.  Essentially, we have included the latest R&B Hits for listeners to discover what hits have charted nationally, however when creating a playlist for your wedding DJ, or your wedding DJ provides you with a playlist, be sure to inform the DJ of any songs you do not want played on your special day.

With a tall cocktail mixture of the three Jazz types played on air, it provides listeners with the newest Smooth Jazz songs while listeners can also enjoy Jazz hits and legendary tunes from the top Jazz Albums.

2 PM to 6 PM - The Bride & Groom Songs airs every Saturday and Sunday. These songs correspond to activities that the bride and groom will engage during a traditional reception, such as instrumental music for the unity ceremony, an instrumental song for a guided cake cutting or a love song for the cake cutting if no one will explain the importance of cutting the cake and the couple's toast.  Equally important is the tossing the bouquet song, the removal of the garter and tossing the garter songs, as well as the last dance song. These songs evoke emotional or light-hearted moments that help to define a musical timeline that some guests look forward to experiencing.  The show repeats overnight at 2 AM to 6 AM.

10 PM to 2 AM - Special Dances include songs specifically chosen for the wedding party's entrance and the introduction of the newlyweds as Mr. and Mrs. The special dances will commence at the beginning of the reception, as the wedding party dances to their seats. In some instances, the wedding party will remain on the floor until the start of the bride and groom's dance.  The bride and groom should dance-in to the center of the dance floor for their introduction, leading into their First Dance. Traditionally, the brides chooses a song for the Father-Daughter Dance, and the groom selects a song for the Mother-Son Dance that are scheduled to occur during the first part of the reception.
