50 Background Wedding Songs for your Daytime Reception

 

Background music is essential to create an atmosphere during the wedding breakfast.  Music has the power to instantly bring back special memories every time you hear that song in the future. So of course, you’ll want your wedding day to be filled with background wedding songs that mean the most to you. I’ve put together a list of 50 background wedding songs for your daytime reception to help get you started.

While your daytime background weddings songs may not be the most important songs you choose for your wedding (I’m sure you’ll agree that they rank below your wedding ceremony songs or your first dance song), they are still essential in creating the right atmosphere during the hours between your vows and the evening reception starting.

Daytime wedding music choices.

 

There are no rules for your daytime wedding music choices; the music you choose will depend heavily on your own personal taste and the vibe you are striving to achieve on your day.

I suggest including songs that blend nicely into the background, gently setting your desired mood and keeping those absolute bangers for your evening reception where you and your guests, can let loose on the dance floor. Also choose a variety from different decades so you’ll play something that’s recogniseable for everyone.

Whether you have a good idea of the sort of songs you’d like to be played during your wedding breakfast or not…take a look through my list of daytime wedding songs and you are sure to find some inspiration to get you started.
