KISS is known for their iconic costumes and business savvy, but at the end of the day, they are a hit-making machine. Their music spans from 70s rock to 80s glam and 90s ballads, providing something for every part of your reception.

Rock Ballads: Emotional, sweeping tracks for dances and ceremonies.
Party Anthems: The ultimate “get out of your seat” tracks for the reception.
Classic Riffs: Iconic sounds for entrances and exits.

Spotlight Moments: Dances & Ceremony

The “Made for Each Other” Anthem: “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” – 1979. This is the quintessential KISS wedding song. It has a unique disco-rock groove that makes it perfect for a high-energy First Dance or a fun Grand Entrance. The lyrics say it all: “Girl, I was made for you.”
The Power Ballad First Dance: “Forever” – 1990. This is one of the most popular rock ballads of the 90s. With a message of “no doubt in my mind,” it is a top-tier choice for a First Dance or even a Wedding Processional for a couple who wants a rock edge to their ceremony.
The Emotional Tribute: “Beth” – 1976. While it’s technically about a musician not being able to come home, its beautiful piano melody makes it a frequent choice for a Parent Dance or a nostalgic slow dance for the “KISS Army” members in the room.
The Dramatic Ceremony Exit: “God Gave Rock ‘N’ Roll To You II” – 1991. If you want a grand, anthemic Recessional that will have your guests cheering, this is the track. It’s celebratory and huge.

Reception & Party Starters

The Ultimate Party Song: “Rock and Roll All Nite” – 1975. This is the song that should be played when the dance floor is officially “open” or as the final Last Dance of the night. It’s an anthem that every guest, from your nephew to your grandma, will know and sing along to.
Kick Off the Dancing: “Detroit Rock City” – 1976. With its high-octane riff and driving beat, this is a great choice for the Wedding Party Entrance to set a high-energy tone for the rest of the night.
The High-Energy Slow Dance: “Heaven’s On Fire” – 1984. A great mid-tempo track that keeps the energy high while still allowing for a bit of a “sway” on the dance floor.
The Fun “Dr. Love” Moment: “Calling Dr. Love” – 1977. This is a fun, tongue-in-cheek choice for the Garter Toss or a lighthearted moment during the reception.

Rock ‘N’ Roll Energy

Shout It Out: “Shout It Out Loud” – 1976. Another massive anthem that’s perfect for the peak of the reception when you want everyone on their feet.
The “Love Gun” Entrance: “Love Gun” – 1977. For the couple that wants to make a truly bold entrance, this iconic track provides all the swagger you could ever need.

DJ Expert Tips: Mastering the KISS Vibe

The “Unplugged” Option: If the original rock versions feel too heavy for your ceremony, look for the KISS Unplugged (1996) versions of songs like “Rock and Roll All Nite” or “Beth” for a more acoustic, intimate feel.
Mixing the Eras: KISS transitions perfectly into other legendary rock acts like Van Halen, Aerosmith, and Bon Jovi. A “Classic Rock Anthem” set is always a hit for keeping the dance floor packed.
The Fade-In: Many KISS tracks start with heavy guitar riffs. Work with your DJ to ensure they hit the “sweet spot” of the song for entrances so the energy is immediate.

And girl, I was made for you
