Bit late for my response, but you have to look at what cross section of ages you have there.
Be prepared to wip out your Abba, Gloria Gaynor (you will always get the older drunk lady folk singing to this), Destiny's Child/ Beyonce for the bridesmaids, early 80s classics but nothing with attitude... you can't drop Eurythmics, but you can get away with Gloria Estefan,
Village People/YMCA isn't always a hit, especially if the crowd is made up of a large portion of older males (Unless you are playing Elton John's wedding).
For the lady folk, do a medly of tracks that were featured in Dirty Dancing.
Ignore requests from drunk men unless it's the bride or grooms dad as it will usually clear the floor.
Remember to have one slow dance in the middle of the night and then one at the end (Not including the first dance of the bride). Tracks for this would be things like Berlin-Take my breath away and shit by Bryan Adams.
Make an assesment of the crowd early on to work out if they are predominantly older or younger, if they are older stick mostly to older classics, if they are younger you can throw in some top 40 but you are still safe to play older classics.
70s Disco stuff always goes down well when people are drunk.
Simple rule of thumb, obscure = bad. Extreme = bad, EDM = Bad, Rap/Hip Hop = Bad, DnB/Jungle = very bad, Dubstep = very bad.
The KISS Rule applies.. Keep it simple stupid.
Play popular songs that will be familiar.
Cheers
