Ms.Katie over @ Upcycled Treasures posted a question on Facebook asking for suggestions on wedding music,and seeing as how we are in the thralls of wedding season, I decided to compile a list of love songs that will go over well at any wedding. Music can literally make or break a reception I’ve been to my share of weddings that just bombed in the music department and the energy of the crowd was a direct reflection of it. The playlist I compiled are songs that should be sprinkled throughout the night intertwined with some awesome dance music.I could have gone on and on but narrowed it down to 15 songs that say I love you, but not in a cheesy, I’ve heard this song a million times @ every wedding kinda way. This list is really just the tip of the ice burg, don’t even get me started on party music!
I know, I know. Get on with it!!
- Fade Into You-Mazzy Star
- Alive With The Glory Of Love- Say Anything (One for our alternative crowd)
- No One’s Gonna Love You- Band Of Horses
- Crazy Love – Van Morrison
- The Scientist- Cold Play
- Two of The Lucky Ones- The droge and Summers Blend (My Fave)
- Mirrors- Justin Timberlake
- For You- Tin Sparrow
- Two Notes and A Beat- The Lonely Forest
- Heartbeats- Jose Gonzalez
- Always Be Your Man- Farewell Milwaukee
- No Ordinary Love- Sade
- Slow Show- The National
- You are Mine – Mutemath
- I will Wait- Mumford & Sons
These songs are so great there’s something here for everyone! I hope this helps all you beautiful brides out there looking for some fresh Love tunes for your big day!

10/17/2014 at 9:25 PM (10 years ago)I’m a professional DJ… working 30-40 weddings per year. I think this is a good start, but there’s a lot that goes into picking great music. I think it’s funny when pro-DJ’s get mad about people doing the music themselves – the truth is, it’s easier than it’s ever been…
