Our Most-Played Wedding Songs (And Why They Still Work Every Time)

There are some songs that just work — no matter the venue, the crowd, or the couple. Over the years, we’ve seen hundreds of dance floors come to life, but two tracks consistently top the list: “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder and “Twist and Shout” by The Beatles.

Superstition hits that perfect sweet spot — funk, soul, killer groove, and instantly recognisable. It’s one of those songs that gets everyone moving, from your uncle in the corner to your mate who never usually dances. It brings serious energy to the room without feeling overdone.


And then there’s Twist and Shout. It's impossible to ignore. There's a reason it’s stood the test of time — it's raw, joyful, and completely infectious. No matter the age range, this one always ends up being a highlight. Honestly, you can feel the floor bounce.

We also get asked a lot about first dances, and we’ve played everything from Ed Sheeran classics to lesser-known acoustic gems. Some couples go traditional, others opt for something totally unexpected — and we love both. Whatever the choice, it’s always a privilege to soundtrack that moment.


So if you're planning your wedding and stuck on music ideas, don't overthink it. A few timeless crowd-pleasers, a personal touch for the first dance, and a band that knows how to read the room — that's the recipe.
