How to Choose the Perfect Unity Ceremony Song
As an experienced wedding DJ, I’ve assembled a list of songs for the unity ceremony. Songs are selected by the song’s meaning and popular hits by today’s couples. Besides new and trending, additional lists are grouped by genre to match your taste in music.
The wedding unity ceremony is a symbol of two people joining as one. Two families unite. Two souls unite. The event takes place during the wedding ceremony after the wedding couple exchanges their vows.

Quick Tips
When picking out the song for the unity ceremony, you must consider the following 3 factors:
1. Does the song have a special meaning to both of you?
2. Does the tempo of the song (fast or slow) match the mood of your ceremony?
3. Does the song’s genre and meaning match your music tastes and relationship?
