A guide to your wedding's other key songs

Canolli instead of cake!

So much of wedding music planning focuses on the dance floor, and for good reason - that’s where the party’s at. But your wedding day is full of key moments that deserve their own epic soundtrack too.

These are the short-but-sweet spots where the right song can turn a simple action into a memory that feels cinematic. It’s about adding a burst of personality and creating a specific feeling, for you and your guests.

Let's talk about two of the biggest: your reception entrance and the cake cutting (or champagne tower).

That 'just married' energy: your grand entrance

This is it. Your first introduction as a married couple. You’re about to walk into a room full of your favourite people, and the energy is electric. The song you choose to walk into should match that feeling.

This isn't the time for a slow, subtle background tune. This is your hype track. It should scream "we're married and ready to party!". Whether you want something high-energy and fun that gets everyone cheering, or a track that’s just effortlessly cool and stylish, the choice sets the tone for the entire reception.

It’s the first taste of the party to come, so pick a song that truly represents you as a couple.

To get you started, we’ve put together a playlist of entrance songs that we love. Listen to it below or on Spotify.

A sweet celebration: the cake cutting or champagne tower

This moment is a classic for a reason. It’s a joyful, celebratory peak in the night, and it’s one that gets photographed and filmed a lot. The right song in the background ties it all together beautifully.

Unlike the high-energy entrance, the music here can be a little different. It’s less about hype and more about marking a sweet, happy occasion. You want a song that feels like a celebration. Think feel-good classics, romantic bangers, or something just plain fun and sweet.

It's a short moment, but the right track makes it much more memorable.

We've curated a playlist of tunes that work perfectly for either cutting the cake or popping the champagne. Listen below or on Spotify.

Thinking about these mini-soundtracks for your day adds such a personal layer to your celebration. It’s a chance to share a little more of your story and your vibe with the people you love most.
