For weddings it's best to keep up with the Mobile Beat Top 200 list... http://www.mobilebeat.com/top-200/
You can buy Waltzes, piano music (for dinner hour), and other Classical music at your local music store or even a Wal-Mart if there is one out there. You can also find this type of music online. Check iTunes or do a Google search for "Waltz" or "Classical" online music. Here is a website for the "Top 25 Waltzes"... http://ballroomdancemusic.info/Album/25TopWaltzes1927.htm
Make sure you have all of the party favorites like the Chicken Dance (Birdie Dance in the UK), Macarena, Cupid Shuffle, Electric Slide, Dollar Dance, Cha Cha Slide and the like.
Always inquire with the bride groom what song they want for their first dance, father/daughter dance and other dances. I have a whole packet I give them to fill out so they can choose all of the music they want and don't want played, names of the important people in the wedding party for announcements, parents names, best man, maiden of honor, etc.
The contract is on the last page. I always get a 20% deposit with the remaining amount due within a week of the reception. I ask for the packet info at least a month or two in advance so I can study it and make sure I have all of the music they are requesting. I tell them to email me if they remember the names of other songs they might have forgot to put on the list.
Good luck!
