For many couples, the wedding is an absolute highlight in their relationship that should be as perfect as possible. The location, the guests, the good food and the entertainment – on this special day, everything has to be just right to make the wedding a real celebration. Music is a particularly important factor here: if chosen correctly, it can emphasise the serious significance of the moment, spread joy and encourage conversation as well as dancing. So it’s no wonder that the topic of wedding music is a headache for many bridal couples: Which songs should be played? Is a playlist enough or do you want to hire a DJ or band? And what options do event venue operators or wedding planners have if music is required at the wedding? We’ve put together the most important tips for finding the right music for your wedding here.

First of all: there is no such thing as THE perfect wedding music. Rather, there are many different moments on a wedding day with very different moods from contemplative to joyful to exuberant – and these moments of the wedding should be reflected in the music. From the solemn wedding ceremony to the party late into the night, very different types of music are required. If you want to find out which wedding music is the right one, you first need to ask yourself what part of the day it is intended for.
Whether at the registry office or in the church: in most cases, a reverent and romantic atmosphere is desired for the wedding ceremony itself. Calm sounds, ballads and particularly solemn music are the right choice here to acoustically emphasise the significance of the moment.
In the field of classical music, sacred sounds are of course popular, but there are also many artists who translate current chart hits into a classical setting. If you want to use music with vocals, then romantic, calm songs are of course particularly suitable. Pay close attention to the lyrics – ambiguous lyrics could cause irritation among the guests at a church wedding.
After the wedding, it’s time for the reception to receive the congratulations of the guests and then for the meal together. Background music is ideal for creating the perfect atmosphere and relaxation. The music should resonate harmoniously in the background but not take centre stage. When it comes to style, you have a wide range of options to choose from. From easy listening to lounge music to relaxed jazz – there are many options for wedding music that will create a cheerful, relaxed and cosy atmosphere. You’re sure to find some inspiration in our playlists of royalty-free music.
After the wedding ceremony and dinner, it’s party time – after all, saying “I do” between two people is a reason to celebrate. Classics for the opening dance are a Viennese waltz or slow waltz, but more and more couples are choosing music for the wedding dance that means a lot to them personally. After this transition from formal event to relaxed celebration, the wedding music should encourage the guests to celebrate and offer enough variety so that every guest can shake a leg.
The wedding music should not only suit the special day, but above all the most important people on the day, the bride and groom. Do you both like it rocky? Then let it rock! Have you opted for a romantic summer wedding? Then chilled lounge sounds could be just the thing.
There are basically three different ways to play music at a wedding. Depending on the course of the day, several variants can be used.
Live musicians are particularly popular during the wedding ceremony, but especially during the exuberant wedding reception in the evening. They create a good atmosphere, but do not play the whole time and are expensive. However, live wedding music is always a special highlight.
A good wedding DJ ensures a successful party atmosphere for the celebration. In the best case scenario, he will be guided by your wishes and adapt flexibly to the moment. In any case, a professional DJ should be hired. Because skilful comes from ability.
The playlist is a cost-effective option, but it does not offer the opportunity to adapt the music to the current mood. If you know your guests’ musical tastes well or have asked for song requests in advance, a playlist can be successful.
A playlist is perfect for certain occasions: for example, it creates a relaxed atmosphere during the meal or during the live band’s breaks. Some wedding venues offer the service of royalty-free playlists – just ask.
If you are organising weddings or managing a special event location, it never hurts to have some music on hand that bridal couples can fall back on during the day. Various playlists that can be played as wedding music during the wedding dinner are particularly useful.
