Love SongSara Bareilles
A hit song by Sara Bareilles.
It’s piano rock with contrarian lyrics—“I’m not gonna write you a love song”—that give off a youthful vibe.
Perfect for a bride who feels that love songs and ballads just aren’t her style.
It’s sure to liven up a wedding ceremony or reception.
MineTaylor Swift
It’s a song by the queen of love songs, Taylor Swift, released in 2010.
It’s a soft country-pop tune that soothes you every time you listen.
If you’re planning a garden wedding party, hanging photos of your memories from the trees like in the music video would make a lovely touch.
Be sure to have this song playing for the occasion.
This Is MeThe Greatest Showman
A perfect anthem to cheer on two people brought together after overcoming adversity.
It’s the theme song from the musical film The Greatest Showman.
The powerful vocals are uplifting and evoke the spirit of youth.
I think it will make weddings and receptions moving and memorable.
Marry MeTrain
It’s a song released in 2010 by the American rock band Train.
The romantic lyrics you’ll want to savor and the gentle guitar melody are striking.
It’s perfect for places where vows of love are made, such as weddings and receptions, so I highly recommend it.
Someday My Prince Will ComeAdriana Caselotti
It’s the theme song from Disney’s animated film Snow White.
The Japanese title is “Someday My Prince Will Come.” There’s a pop version sung by actress and singer Ashley Tisdale, among others—why not look for the version that best fits your wedding or reception scene?
How Far I’ll GoAlessia Cara
This is the ending theme of Disney’s animated film “Moana.” It’s a refreshing version sung by Canadian artist Alessia Cara of the main theme in which the protagonist, Moana, sings about her longing for the ocean.
Using it as background music for a wedding ceremony or reception would help set the tone for a new beginning.
