Your wedding day is kind of a big deal – and the music you choose? Well, it sets the tone for the whole thing. Whether you’re a total music buff or just want “something nice” playing in the background, picking the right songs can feel overwhelming. But don’t stress – XO Sounds is here to make your life easier. We handle the music so you can focus on more important things, like perfecting your vows or making sure Great Aunt Susan doesn’t drink too much before the speeches.

We offer fully customisable experiences, and our artists will play up to three of your handpicked song requests live during your ceremony – one for the walk down the aisle, one for the signing of the register, and one for the celebratory exit. We love creating dreamy, acoustic versions of your favourite songs, but if you’d prefer to blast the original track from Spotify (especially for that upbeat walk back up the aisle), we can do that too. Basically, whatever you want – we’ve got you.

Now comes the fun part: picking your songs. If you’re feeling stuck, here’s a little inspo to get you started.

“The right song at the right moment feels like pure magic.” XO Sounds

1. The Aisle Song – Your Grand Entrance

This is the moment – all eyes on you, hearts swelling, maybe a few happy tears (okay, maybe a lot). You’ll want a song that’s gentle, slow, and packed with emotion. One of the perks of live music is that our XO Sounds artists can stretch or shorten your aisle song as needed, making sure the timing is just right.

Here are a few tried-and-true favourites:
🎶 I Will Spend My Whole Life Loving You – Imaginary Future & Kina Grannis
🎶 River – Leon Bridges
🎶 Tenerife Sea – Ed Sheeran

2. The Signing Song – The “We’re Official” Moment

You’ve made it through the vows, the happy tears, and maybe a slight voice wobble. Now, while you’re signing the papers to make things legally legit, you’ll want a song that keeps the romantic energy flowing without making your guests too emotional (we don’t want mascara running before cocktail hour).

A few great options:
💛 Bloom – The Paper Kites
💛 This Old Love – Lior
💛 Better Together – Jack Johnson

3. The Celebration Song – Your First Walk as Newlyweds

You did it! You’re officially married! Now it’s time to take that victory lap back up the aisle with a song that screams pure joy. This one can be performed live or played as the original track to get the full impact. Either way, it’s got to be a bop.

Our top picks:
🎉 Ain’t No Mountain High Enough – Marvin Gaye
🎉 Latch – Disclosure, Sam Smith
🎉 Come and Get Your Love – Redbone

Bonus Song – Because We Couldn’t Resist

If you’re looking for a song that’s effortlessly beautiful and works for any part of your ceremony, do yourself a favour and listen to:

💖 Best Part – Daniel Caesar ft. H.E.R

And that’s it! Now all that’s left to do is send your ceremony song requests through to XO Sounds and get ready to be absolutely floored by our artists’ stunning renditions of your favourite tunes. We can’t wait to bring your wedding soundtrack to life! 🎶✨
