Wedding Song Lists, Playlists & Tools for Wedding DJs

My Wedding Songs is a wedding music resource for professional wedding DJs. My Wedding Songs tracks new releases weekly and publishes curated playlists organized by ceremony, reception, and tradition.

The Wedding Music Canon

Every wedding DJ works from a canon (the songs that always work, the ones that earned their spot. Almost nobody has written theirs down). It lives in muscle memory, inherited from whoever trained you, and it has gaps you won’t find until a floor empties.

The Wedding Music Canon is that list, documented and stress-tested. 1,875 songs from the 1950s through the 2010s, each one validated against Billboard, Spotify Viral 50, Shazam, and Apple Music chart data. Then, it was cross-referenced against actual wedding playlist requests. Not what should work. What has.

How to Build a Wedding Playlist That Fills the Floor

A great wedding playlist isn’t a list of great songs. It’s the right song at the right minute, with a transition that doesn’t kill the energy you just spent 20 minutes building.

My Wedding Songs breaks down song selection, set order, and transitions for every part of the night from cocktail hour, dinner, first dance, peak floor, and last call. You walk in with a plan instead of a folder.

Wedding Songs by Moment

My Wedding Songs organizes wedding music by the moment it plays: processional and recessional songs for the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner playlists, grand entrance tracks, first dance songs, father-daughter and mother-son dances, cake cutting, bouquet toss, anniversary dance, and last dance. Each list is curated by moment, genre, era, and BPM.
