The 5 Essential Music Genres for Your Wedding

1. Pop

Pop is the all-round genre that almost everyone enjoys. Classics from Michael Jackson or Madonna, and recent hits by Dua Lipa, guarantee that guests of all ages will take to the dance floor and give it their all.

2. Rock

From the infectious rhythms of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones to the anthems of Queen and U2, rock adds both energy and emotion. It’s perfect for honouring those golden eras and for giving your rock-loving guests a chance to enjoy some good guitar riffs and epic solos.
Legendary songs such as “Livin’ on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi or “Sweet Child o’ Mine” by Guns N’ Roses are always a must for a bit of air guitar fun.

3. Electronic Music

With its hypnotic beats and euphoric drops, electronic music is perfect for keeping the energy high on the dance floor. DJs such as Calvin Harris and David Guetta have produced tracks that have become true party anthems.
Even trance and house classics can create a nightclub vibe that keeps your guests dancing until dawn. Tracks by Avicii or Tiësto never fail to lift spirits and fill the room with vibrant energy.

4. Reggaeton

Reggaeton is ideal for the most relaxed and festive moments of the night. With its catchy rhythms and lyrics that invite you to move, artists like Daddy Yankee, Don Omar and J Balvin ensure that no one stays seated.
Songs such as “Gasolina” or “Vivir mi vida” are a guarantee that both young and old will join in the dance—or simply enjoy the joyful Latin vibe that this genre brings.

5. Ballads

For the most intimate and emotional moments, ballads are essential. Iconic voices such as Adele, Ed Sheeran and Alejandro Sanz bring that romantic touch that every celebration of love needs.
Songs like “Thinking Out Loud” or “Amiga mía” are perfect for the newlyweds’ first dance or for those heartfelt moments shared with guests.
Tracks like “Someone Like You” by Adele or “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran will resonate deeply, creating lasting memories and providing the perfect soundtrack for loving glances and whispered promises on the dance floor.
