The Best Contemporary Wedding Songs

The perfect way to express your feelings beside the wedding vows is music. Finding the right songs can make the difference. Here is a list of contemporary wedding songs considered to be the best choices for the first wedding dance:




From This Moment On by Shania Twain

From This Moment On is a great country song to play as background during your wedding ceremony. This song was Shania’s second number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary singles chart. The lyrics are specially created for such an event. Even the video of the song is stunning, very tender and touching and inspires a lot of beautiful things. It’s one of the best choices for walking down the aisle towards your groom to be.

The song ends with these special words that could also be used to express your wedding vows: “From this moment as long as I live, I will love you, I promise you this, There is nothing I wouldn’t give, From this moment I will love you as long as I live, From this moment on.” Is there anything better than this to express your feelings?

All My Life by K-C and Jojo

All My Life by K-C and Jojo is an R&B love song about how much you waited all your life for one special person. The lyrics are absolutely gorgeous and are the best expression of someone’s feelings for this one special person. But better than the lyrics is the melody growing throughout the song that ends with a very emotional ending.

Love Will Be Our Home by Sandi Patty

This is a Christian song with lyrics that truly touches the heart of every listener. The song is the choice for any kind of wedding. No matter where you go, love will be your home; your hearts will always be as on. “Wherever there is laughter ringing, someone smiling, someone dreaming, we can live together there, Love will be our home.” Isn’t that nice?

You Raise Me Up by Josh Grobin

Well, this is such an amazing song, more of a religious contemporary one. The best accompaniment for this song is the organ or a string ensemble if the wedding is outside. “I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up, To more than I can be.” This is the best description of the marriage.

I Cross My Heart by George Straight

I Cross My Heart is another touching country song. It’s the best way to express how you feel about your love. “I cross my heart and promise to give all I’ve got to give to make all your dreams come true. In all the world you’ll never find a love as true as mine.”

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack

Roberta Flack recorded the song in 1969 on her album called “First Take”. It was originally written as a folk song and it won a Grammy Award for best song of 1972. It’s a slow song that makes a truly memorable moment from your wedding ceremony. “The first time ever I saw you face, I thought the sun rose in your eyes, and the moon and stars were the gifts you gave, to the dark and empty skies, my love.” Isn’t that lovely and romantic?
