Quick Tips

As the bride, select what song to play as you walk down the aisle. When picking out R&B songs for your wedding, you must consider the following 3 factors:

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

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