The Best Wedding Songs 2017: Let’s Get This Party Started

Bey, you can stay

Wedding music is funny in that there are some songs that rule the wedding charts for a year or so before disappearing and others that go on to be forever-classics. So at the beginning of each year, we sit down and ask ourselves, “What will be the best wedding songs 2017?” Last year we topped our list with “Uptown Funk,” and when every wedding I went to lead with that song, I felt like I had nobody to blame by myself. This year, I have on good authority that Christina Perry’s “A Thousand Years” will be again burning up the wedding music charts. While I’ll be fine with that wedding song falling into obscurity… at some point… soon? (it’s been five years so far), I think we can all agree that Queen Bey’s recent work can stay forever.

So whether you’re looking for slow jams, singer-songwriters, or something downright funky, this list of twenty-five wedding songs 2017 has got you. AND BONUS: In case you’re still grooving to the tunes of recent past, we’ve included fifteen songs from previous years, too.
