Ten Wedding Reception Song Ideas from Our 2022 List

Here are ten songs from our 2022 reception list, with pop, soul, and slower options. Use them as ideas, then check our current song list and ask about the arrangements you want.

  1. Levitating, Dua Lipa. A pop choice to try alongside your disco and funk favorites.

  2. That’s What I Like, Bruno Mars. Include this if contemporary R&B is part of your list.

  3. Blinding Lights, The Weeknd. Consider it for a set that leans toward pop and synth-driven songs.

  4. September, Earth, Wind & Fire. A starting point for couples who want plenty of funk and disco.

  5. Treasure, Bruno Mars. Another option for a list that connects newer pop with older dance music.

  6. I Gotta Feeling, The Black Eyed Peas. Think about whether this is a song your friends would want to sing together.

  7. Can’t Stop the Feeling!, Justin Timberlake. Put it on your shortlist if bright, upbeat pop fits your taste.

  8. Stand by Me, Ben E. King. Consider this when you want a slower moment in the evening.

  9. Sugar, Maroon 5. An option for couples who want pop throughout the reception.

  10. Let’s Get It On, Marvin Gaye. Listen to the full lyrics and decide whether its mood fits your celebration.

Choose your must-plays

Mark the few songs that matter most, rather than treating every suggestion as mandatory. Keep first dances and entrance music in a separate section with exact versions and cues. Add a do-not-play list, including any songs you would rather guests did not request.

Check the current Soulution song list and send us the few songs you most want to hear and anything you’d like us to skip. We’ll discuss the arrangements and leave room to choose the order as the night goes along. This is a starting list, not a promise that one set of songs will suit every wedding.
