Wedding Songs

Weddings are all about tying the knot and having fun while you are doing it. This so called “fun factor” that so many people hope to find at a wedding, is normally lacking a bit. There are many ways to go about fixing this, but the best way is to have some great wedding songs. During your wedding there are a number of songs that will need to be played. Their will need to be a song for the first dance for the new bride and groom, as well as a song for the dance between the father and the daughter. With all of that aside, you are still going to need to find some wedding songs to play just for the party itself. This is additionally important if you intend on considering disc jockeys for the reception, or perhaps live bands and musicians.

Wedding songs come in a lot of different forms. You can find everything from Christian wedding songs to wedding rock songs. However, the important thing about all of the music you choose is that you have to find music that fits th
e feel and theme of your wedding. Never just choose songs, because your friends and family members like them. Only choose songs that you actually like and want playing at our wedding. This means that you can choose everything from “corny " love songs to R&B wedding songs.

Now, some people think that they do not have to worry about the wedding songs that are going to be played at the wedding, because they hired a DJ to take care of the song list. However, you have to understand that, no matter what kind of DJ you hire, his music list is going to represent his taste in music, or at least what he feels are good tracks. So if there are certain songs that you would want to hear at your wedding, then you need to be sure that you tell the DJ about them when you hire them. Give him a list of the songs that you would like to hear. However, you have to be sure that you give the DJ this list well before the wedding. He has to have tons of time to be able to find the music and get it on a CD before the wedding.

If you give him your song list a day before the wedding, then he may not have enough time to get the songs you like. Good DJs normally have about every song that you could possibly think of. These are the same DJs that normally have guests at the wedding write down their favorite songs so that he can choose from them and play them at the wedding party.

If you are not sure what kind of wedding songs that you would like to hear for your wedding, then you better start searching for songs now. The best way to do this is to get online and find lists of famous wedding songs. All of these lists are going to include different songs that you may or may not have heard of. With all the songs that you have not heard of, it would be a good idea to go online and see if you can find a place to listen to them. There are a lot of online radios that could allow you to listen to some of the songs you have never heard of. After all, you may want these included into your wedding ceremony and not even know it yet.


To help make searching for songs that you want to use easier, it's best if you can clearly come up with a style of music that you want. For example, if you like rock music, then you may want to look for rock wedding songs. Now, this may sound hard to find, but you would be shocked at how many rock wedding songs that you can find out there. Songs by Aerosmith, like “I Don't Want to Miss a Thing”, and songs by Guns n Roses, like “Oh Sweet Child of Mine”, fit nicely into the category. As you can clearly see, the ones that you choose do not have to be actual weddings songs persay. However, it does help if they have some kind of romantic theme to theme.

Wedding songs are the heart and soul of a wedding. Without good music at your reception afterparty, it's just going to be a complete waste of time. When people think of wedding parties, they think of fun, food, and dancing. The fun and the dancing can be taken care of by the wedding songs that you choose. If you can, try to keep the wedding songs that you choose in line with the theme of your wedding. Although this may sound kind of hard to do, you can note that this is a lot easier than most people think. As you start to listen to music that you want included into your wedding, you can start to get a general feel about that style of music. You will be able to tell if it fits your theme or not.
