15+ Songs for Your Wedding Highlight Reel

Depending on how long your wedding video is, you may want to include a slower melody for the wedding ceremony (think: "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri or another song couples choose for their walks down the aisle) and a more upbeat wedding video song to play during the wedding reception footage. To help you with the selection process, we’ve gathered together five wedding video songs in three categories – something for couples who want their video to be as classic and traditional as their wedding ceremony, tunes for those who prefer their soundtrack to represent when their nuptials occurred with something popular and modern, and lesser-known melodies for newlyweds who showcased their unique personalities on their big day and want their highlight video to do the same.

Take a listen below to these wedding video songs for 2021 and beyond wedding video highlights!
