What Music Should I Choose for My Wedding Video?
This is one of the questions we get asked the most!
At love reels, we believe your wedding video should feel truly personal—and that starts with the music. That’s why you get to pick the soundtrack for your special day. But we know it can be tricky deciding what to choose, so here are some tips to help you out.
What Kind of Music Works Best?
The best music for your wedding video is the music you love. Music sets the entire mood—seriously, it makes a huge difference. A Coldplay track creates a very different vibe than, say, Macklemore.
Sometimes mixing it up works well—like starting with a slow, romantic song and ending with an upbeat party tune to match the energy of the day.
Does the Meaning of the Song Matter?
This can be a bit tricky. You probably want to avoid songs about breakups or divorce, but many love songs might have deeper or unexpected lyrics if you really dig in. A great tool to explore song meanings is Genius, where users annotate lyrics with insights.
That said, if a song makes you feel good, don’t worry too much about the exact meaning of every line—your emotional connection is what counts.
How Many Songs Should I Pick?
If you’re using one of our packages, here’s the breakdown:
Mini Highlights: 1 song
Classic Highlights: 2 songs
Extended Highlights: 3 songs
Can I Use Any Song in My Video?
Music in wedding videos needs to be properly licensed. Using unlicensed songs can cause legal issues, especially if you share your video online. Plus, your videographer could be breaking copyright laws by including unlicensed tracks.
Luckily, at Love Reels we have access to a big library of licensed popular songs. Check out our Music page and Spotify playlist featuring artists like Fleetwood Mac, Coldplay, Aretha Franklin, Green Day, Muse, Keane, Bruno Mars, and many more!
Do I Have to Choose the Music Myself?
Not at all! If picking music feels overwhelming, just leave it to us.
We’ll watch your wedding clips and consider songs used during key moments—like your first dance, walking down the aisle, or the party—and then pick tracks that suit your style and complement your video perfectly.
