You know what I love about weddings? That moment when the ceremony is finished, the cake has been cut, your family photos have been taken, and it’s time to turn on the wedding songs and dance. And wedding songs? When it comes down to it, there are a few elements that make up a good wedding song: feelings, fun, and family. You want to feel every bit of each song. You want to maximize fun for everyone, and you definitely want to see your family—chosen or otherwise—on the dance floor. And that’s where our collection of Wedding Songs 2016 comes into play.
I think a lot of us would agree that there have been some killer songs released in the last two years, and so many are begging to be chosen as your wedding songs. We thought there was no time like the present to compile a list of the best wedding songs from 2014 to 2016.
50 of the best wedding songs 2016
Some of these came out toward the tail end of 2015 and might be new to you (like Missy and Pharrell’s amaaaazing collaboration, “WTF (Where They From)”) and some of these fall squarely into “songs that will never, ever die” territory (I see you dancing there, “Uptown Funk”).

Of course, since we’re talking about a dance party, I couldn’t get away with only current wedding songs—there are definitely some older hits mixed in. Because hey: if you’re not playing Whitney Houston at your wedding, I’m not sure I want to be there.
