[2025] A Roundup of Popular Western Wedding Songs

Kisses and CakeJohn Powell

P.S. I Love You / John Powell – Kisses and Cake

This is an insert song from the movie “P.

S.

I Love You.” It’s an instrumental with no vocals, featuring a gentle melody and the warm tone of an acoustic guitar that really resonates.

It’s a great choice as background music when sending a letter, among other occasions.

All You Need Is LoveLynden David Hall

Lynden David Hall – All you need is Love (2003)

This is a cover of the Beatles’ love song “All You Need Is Love.” The intro starts a cappella, creating a very romantic ballad.

It’s a great choice for an entrance song or a night wedding.

What Am I To You?Norah Jones

Norah Jones – What Am I To You?

Norah Jones’s “What Am I To You” is perfect for those who want a slightly different wedding song.

Its gentle melody and beautiful vocals make it a great choice for moments like reading a letter to your parents.

Her voice is loved across generations and is sure to move everyone’s heart.

Oh, Pretty WomanRoy Kelton Orbison

Pretty Woman – Oh, Pretty Woman (Roy Orbison) ᴴᴰ

Since it was also featured in the movie Pretty Woman, it’s a very famous song—Roy Orbison’s single released in 1964.

At weddings, the bride is more or less the main character, so this song, which praises women, is perfect.

Every time I hear that intro, I get excited.

It’s one of those timeless classics that never loses its shine.

A LOVER’S CONCERTOSarah Vaughan

sarah vaughan – A Lover’s concerto

It’s a cover by Sarah Vaughan of a song originally sung by the vocal group The Toys.

In Japan, this version is probably the most famous.

The voice of this exceptional jazz singer is elegant, while also creating a joyful atmosphere.

How about it for a slightly more mature wedding? The lyrics, in which two people vow their love, are absolutely perfect! It would work well not only for the entrance, but also during the welcome segment or the cake-cutting.

For the entrance, the lyrics after the 50-second mark seem ideal.

One Call AwayCharlie Puth

Charlie Puth – One Call Away [Official Video]

It’s a song by singer-songwriter Charlie Puth released in 2016.

Charlie has a truly beautiful voice.

You can’t go without piano sounds for a wedding song.

The track itself is mellow and highly recommended—my top pick.

FantasyEarth, Wind & Fire

EARTH WIND & FIRE – Fantasy

This song is a love song, but the lyrics are very profound.

Rather than just a simple love song, it can be interpreted as the curtain rising on a new life after encountering love.

It also feels like it could be referring to marriage, but I think it’s a fitting song for milestones in life as well.

Earth, Wind & Fire, who perform this track, are a group that defined the ’70s and ’80s.

They originally started as a funk group, but over time they also embraced soul and disco to match the changing times.
