Your cake cutting can be a great moment to showcase one of your favorite feel good songs, especially if it’s a track you’d like to play that may not necessarily be danceable. Whether you choose a romantic crooner hit, or something a little more edgy, this can be a memorable moment in your wedding reception. We asked the DJs from our NYC and BOSTON rosters for a few cake cutting song suggestions to help make your first slice a little bit sweeter!
