because it's a wedding, and a wedding means inclusivity. And that means tracks that stand at least a chance of being recognised by a few people. Funk and soul aren't mainstream in the first place, and apart from Bob Marley, most reggae isn't either. At a wedding you want cheers going up and girls dragging their partners onto the dancefloor when you put a tune on, not a bunch of specialists nodding sagely at the bar.
This is coming from someone who went to a family friend's wedding at 15 and spent most of the night haranguing the dj to play "Trans Europe Express", so bear with me...
