The Ultimate Wedding Song List (Processional to Party)

Music is the invisible thread that ties your wedding day together. From the tears of the processional to the wild energy of the last dance, picking the right songs sets the tone. Here is a curated list for every milestone.

The Processional (Walking down the aisle)

You want something that builds emotion without overpowering the moment.

• Modern acoustic: 'Simply The Best' (Noah Reid cover) or 'Beyond' (Leon Bridges)
• Classical/Instrumental: 'Wildest Dreams' (Vitamin String Quartet) or 'Canon in D' (Pachelbel)
• Timeless: 'Can't Help Falling In Love' (Elvis Presley or Kina Grannis)

The Recessional (Walking back together)

This should feel like pure joy and celebration.

• Upbeat & Classic: 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered' (Stevie Wonder)
• Modern Indie: 'Dog Days Are Over' (Florence + The Machine)
• High Energy: 'You Make My Dreams (Come True)' (Daryl Hall & John Oates)

The First Dance

• Soulful: 'Coming Home' (Leon Bridges) or 'At Last' (Etta James)
• Acoustic: 'Lover' (Taylor Swift) or 'Perfect' (Ed Sheeran)
• Classic: 'Your Song' (Elton John)

Don't overthink the first dance. Just pick a song you both actually listen to in the kitchen.
