Wedding music is essential to all wedding celebrations. From the moment the doors open and the bride walks down the aisle, to the ceremonial events taking place, music adds more vibrance to this significant day by bringing out all the feel-good emotions that are associated with each event.
If you’re still struggling to piece together your dream wedding playlist, we have compiled a list of the 10 most popular wedding songs across eras and includes a variety of genres:
1. Wedding March
Felix Mendelssohn (1842)
Composed almost two centuries ago, it remains one of the most recognisable piece of wedding music for the bride’s first march-in.
2. Can’t Help Falling In Love
Elvis Presley (1961)
A classic song of romance with charming lyrics. Who wouldn’t swoon at the velvety vocals of Elvis Presley in one of his biggest hits?
3. September
Earth, Wind & Fire (1978)
A party-perfect song to get everyone grooving and singing the night away.
psst – this is also one of VOX Singapore‘s upcoming additions into their performance repertoire.

10. Beautiful In White
