One of the most common questions we hear is:
“What are other couples choosing for their ceremony or drinks reception?”
And while your wedding music should reflect your story, it’s always helpful to see what’s trending — especially when you’re choosing between hundreds of possibilities.
Here are 10 of the most requested and loved wedding songs we’ve been performing in 2025 — plus a few wild cards you might not expect.
🎧 1. A Thousand Years – Christina Perri
Still a huge favourite for the processional. Soft, emotional, and instantly recognisable. The live cello makes this one especially powerful.
🎧 2. Can’t Help Falling in Love – Elvis Presley
Timeless and romantic. Our instrumental version is perfect for either the ceremony or drinks reception — simple, elegant, and always gets a smile.
🎧 3. Perfect – Ed Sheeran
An obvious but deserved classic for the signing of the register or first dance. It’s gentle, warm, and deeply personal when performed live.
🎧 4. How Long Will I Love You – Ellie Goulding
This one’s becoming a modern classic. Beautiful for walking down the aisle or background music as guests arrive.
🎧 5. Bridgerton Theme – Kris Bowers
For couples who love a cinematic touch. Instrumental TV/film scores like this are trending in a big way for 2025 weddings.
🎧 6. You Are the Reason – Calum Scott
A stunning, emotional choice that works wonderfully on cello and piano. Ideal for the register signing or a reflective moment.
🎧 7. All of Me – John Legend
Still a powerhouse ballad for ceremonies, especially when paired with a scenic venue or outdoor setting.
🎧 8. You Make My Dreams – Hall & Oates
Upbeat and joyful — a perfect exit song after your ceremony or to kick off the drinks reception with a smile.
🎧 9. Somewhere Only We Know – Keane
A popular indie choice that’s romantic, nostalgic, and surprisingly emotional when played live.
🎧 10. This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) – Natalie Cole
A high-energy option for the recessional or even the drinks reception. It’s infectious, classic, and makes your exit unforgettable.
