How to Create a Country Wedding Playlist for Every Moment

As an experienced wedding DJ, I’ve assembled a list of country wedding songs. Songs are selected by the meaning of the song and popular hits by today’s couples.

Current country music has a more “Pop and Rock flair” and less twang than yesteryear. If you enjoy country songs from the past few years or classic favorites, you will enjoy our list of romantic country love songs for weddings (fast and slow).

Quick Tips

When choosing country songs for your wedding, you must consider the following 3 factors:

1. What is the tempo of the song to determine the style of dance?
2. What is the meaning of the song and is it appropriate for your wedding?
3. What moment of the wedding ceremony or reception will the song play?
