As the excitement (nerve) builds for my best friend’s wedding next weekend, I can’t help but reflect on how much thought has gone into planning her special day - especially the music! Since I will be the events MC, I’ve been helping her curate the perfect playlist for both the wedding itself and the reception. It’s a much bigger task than I had anticipated and the pressure? Phew. After an hour of searching, it got me thinking: with so many songs out there, how do couples ever decide on the right music for their wedding day?
Weddings are full of magical moments and music plays a huge role in setting the tone and etching those memories in stone. Whether it’s the song that accompanies the bride down the aisle or the one that gets everyone onto the dance floor, every couple’s playlist tells a story.
With that in mind, here are three of the most popular wedding songs that have stood the test of time: (According to the world wide web!) I also searched high and low and found some Snappers who delivered these better than the original, so thought I'd share those as well.

“At Last” by Etta James, Performed by Alikona808
A true classic, this soulful ballad is a go-to for first dances. Its timeless melody and lyrics about finding true love make it a favorite for couples looking to create an unforgettable, romantic moment. -
“Perfect” by Ed Sheeran, Performed by Ethan91
Since its release, this song has quickly become a wedding staple. With its heartfelt lyrics and tender tune, it’s the perfect blend of contemporary and sentimental—a song that resonates with modern couples. -
“Marry You” by Bruno Mars, Performed by AmandaMLynn314
This upbeat and playful track has been a huge hit at weddings, especially for couples who want to keep things light-hearted and fun. It’s great for a celebratory moment like the reception entrance or even a group dance!
While these songs are popular choices, every couple’s love story is unique, and their music should reflect that. I’d love to hear from you - what song did you choose for your wedding, and how did you decide on it? Let’s celebrate the beautiful diversity of love stories through music!
