The Miami Vice Wedding Cocktail Hour
Miami Vice is an iconic television series of the 1980s. The show, which ran from 1984-1989, drew heavily upon New Wave culture and music. The show became noted for its heavy integration of music and visual effects to tell a story. 327 songs were used over the course of the show’s 109 episodes. Michael Mann, the executive producer of the television series, went on to direct a film adaptation of Miami Vice that was released in 2006.
Our playlist includes a mixture of original songs from Miami Vice and our own picks that channel the vibe of Vice and Miami. Genres featured include 80s/New Wave, classic rock, house music, Latin styles and hip hop. This playlist could be particularly welcome at a summer beach wedding, or for a bride-groom who love the 80s! At the bottom of this article, check out a free, one hour Miami Vice dance mix by DJ Gregg Ambient!
Ambient DJ continues its tradition of selecting a signature cocktail for each wedding cocktail hour playlist. During the course of their undercover work, we can imagine Detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs sipping on Cuba Libres.
