Popular Songs for a Wedding

Ideas, tips and a list of wedding songs to make your life easier

Choosing the songs for a wedding is perhaps one of the most enjoyable tasks that a couple will have.

Most couples have their own favorite songs which remind them of the special and precious bond they have.

If you’re not too fussy, you can simply indicate your “must have” songs and your wedding music provider will do the rest and choose those songs for a wedding that will make your big day extra special.

Professional wedding music providers will of course know what type of songs are appropriate for each part of your wedding.

However, your music provider does not really know you and your fiancé.

So if music is an important part of your life or if you want to plan your wedding right to the very last detail, then you should provide a full list of wedding songs that you’d like to be played at your wedding.

And why not? It’s YOUR wedding after all!

This is when it gets a bit difficult, because although you will most definitely have a few favorite songs, you most probably would need some ideas on what songs to play during the various parts of your wedding ...

... such as when you’re walking down the aisle, during the ceremony, when the bridal party enter, your unforgettable first dance, when you’re both sharing that special moment and dancing with your mother and father, when you’re cutting the cake, etc …

Get the picture? That’s a lot of songs to think about :) … and the fact that there are thousands of songs for weddings, only makes it worse.

If you’re suddenly feeling overwhelmed, don’t be. This is when our Songs for a Wedding section can help you.

We’ve compiled a list of popular wedding songs to assist you with your playlist.

To make things easier for you, these top wedding songs are divided into categories, so if you’re stuck on ideas for a particular moment in your wedding, you can go straight to the relative page.
