Fun! Looking forward to adding something! We have a Spotify collaborative playlist for our Open Fire on Thursday Nights and it’s so fun to be like, “Cool song! Who added that?”
With a focus on filling the dance floor in celebration, and getting the kids and grandparents alike in on the action, I'm going more lively with three tracks: Shake it Off - Taylor Swift; Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) - Beyonce; Hey Ya! - Outkast. Party anthems that get groove thangs in motion.
At some point you have to play Alison Krauss’s version of “When You Say Nothing At All.” My wife and I chose it for our wedding song and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. We’re still married 25 years later.
You Make Me Wanna Shout!
Your article title obviously suggests that eternal classic by the Isley Brothers. I'd vouch for that and anything else they did.

If you want to get the crowd dancing then John Paul Young's - Love Is In The Air is a must.
Great idea! I excitedly went to my wedding playlists (had one for dinner, cocktails, and dancing) and picked out some good ones/bangers:

Buddy Holly “True Love Ways”
Keeper of the Stars- Tracy Byrd. If you went to any country weddings in the 90's, this was everywhere. Gorgeous lovely ballad.
If it was a relationship that started when the couple was young then Check Yes or No by George Strait is a classic.
For meme/dancing songs, Boot Scooting Boogie (Brooks and Dunn) and Bop (Dan Seals) are classic roll your eyes then join in the line dance songs.
