Wedding Songs!
Welcome happy couple to the section of your wedding planning where you get to pick out a D.J. and find the music that will make your wedding day even more special. When I go to a wedding I know a lot of time we can't wait to see what the bride will look like or what the bridesmaid dresses will be like but I actually look forward to the music. For the ceremony I see the music as telling the couples love story. For the reception I look forward to see if we are going to dance the night away or well it just be a mellow low key vibe. Either way have some fun with picking out your music. Let the music tell your love story.
Part 1: The Wedding Ceremony
Now this is where I was talking about picking out songs that will tell your guest your love story. Yes songs can sound like a wedding song but is that song about you and your love. So take your time and really listen to the words and see if they really connect and does the song take your breath away or does it bring tears to your eyes. Also please make sure that you pick out music with your fiance his or her opinion matters as well.

3. Here Comes the Bride- This is the most important music to pick out besides the first dance as a happy newly married couple. The bride walking down the aisle is really the biggest part of the wedding it's self. We know the guest are going to be looking at your dress and listening to see what music you picked out that connects you with your groom or bride. I find it sweet to keep your song a secret if you can. Surprise everyone especially your groom. He sees his beautiful bride and then he hears this beautiful song; let's just say cue the tears.
A Whole New World - Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle - (Aladdin) Not only is this my favorite Disney song but this is one of my favorite love songs. I find this song to be perfect for a bride to walk down the aisle. This song tells a story in the title. A whole new world. The doors open or the curtains are pulled back and you see your guest all standing there waiting for you to walk down the aisle and your groom is waiting for you to walk down the aisle to start a whole new life a whole new world with him. So as you take that first step you are starting your whole new world as one.
I Get To Love You - Ruelle - The first time I heard this song I had tears in my eyes. I love when she says Love is a journey. Those words are so true. From the day you met each other from the time you decided to get married your love was and still in a journey. You took a journey to get to know each other, to learn to love each other and to spend the rest of your lives together.
My Person ( Wedding Version) - Spencer Crandall - Now if you have tik tok I know you have heard this song. It went viral on social media. Whenever I hear this song it brings a smile to my face. Such a beautiful song. You are marrying Your Person!
Perfect- Ed Sheeran -Who doesn't love an Ed Sheeran love song. The words are just so perfect for a wedding.
You Are The Reason - Calcum Scott and Leona Lewis
All Of Me - John Legend
Here Comes The Bride ( instrumental and traditional)
The Recessional - End of the Wedding Ceremony - You are officially married! - Now you are finally married and it's time to love the alter and get ready to have some fun with friends and family at your reception. Your recessional music can be traditional with the more classical music or you have fun with it and have more upbeat music.

Part 2- The Reception
Now that you have found your perfect songs for your wedding ceremony, let's move on to the reception. Before we get started are you looking to dance the night away with your friends and family. Or are you wanting just to keep your reception mellow and low key. Not really wanting a bunch of dancing. Either way you have to figure that out first before you even decided on which music to choose.
Introduction to the Wedding Party- My advice make this part of your reception fun. Have your bridal party dance it out as they are called or make up a dance to introduce your party. Either way just have fun with these songs.
