One of the many fun details you’ll need to decide on for your wedding day is selecting songs that speak to you for your ceremony and your first dance together as newlyweds.
We recommend that you start building a song list early on in the wedding planning process of songs that speak to you. Anytime either of you hear a song you love, make note or add it to Spotify.
Do keep in mind, you should absolutely depend on the professional DJ or Band to build your full playlist. You’ll just want to give direction as to your favorite genres, artists and songs as well as any songs you do not want played on your big day. You should include songs and genres that will appeal to all generations of the guests that will be attending.
If you’re still determining what songs you want played for your ceremony processional, recessional and first dance, here are 15 suggestions our couples selected that you might consider or maybe it will spark an idea for a different song you love (not in any particular order).
If we can be of assistance to you, no matter how close or how far you are from your wedding day, we would love to connect with you! You can DM, text or email and we’ll get back to you asap. Cheers!
