As a wedding venue owner, I’ve seen a lot of weddings and been witness to many beautiful (and not so elegant) moments that were all orchestrated by a DJ. Aside from who you marry and where you get married, having a professional and experienced DJ on your wedding day is one of the top things you should be concerned about for your big day. Whether it’s the ceremony, reception, or those show-stopping songs to dance to, your DJ acts as your emcee and holds the power to turn your special day into unforgettable memories. If you're getting married in Fulshear or Wallis, and especially if you're hosting your wedding at the gorgeous Brandt 1910 venue with the incredible Deluxe DJs as your DJ and emcee, we've got the ultimate guide to the top wedding songs for 2025. From the all-time classics to songs that will get everyone on the dance floor, this list has something for everyone.

Turn a magical moment into an emotional one with the perfect walk-down-the-aisle tunes. These songs ensure there won’t be a dry eye in the room as you make your way to your forever.
- "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri
Modern yet timeless, this song is one of the best wedding songs and one of the most iconic for wedding ceremonies. If you prefer the songs to be instrumental, this song and others have beautiful covers like the Piano Guys version of “A Thousand Years.”

Best Songs for the First Dance
Your first dance as a married couple is a magical moment that deserves a truly romantic soundtrack to dance to.

Want your first dance to feel even more personal? Choose some songs that mean everything to the both of you and narrow it down to three. You can still use the other songs for other parts of your big day (cake cutting, anniversary dance, private last dance, etc.) Couples working with Deluxe DJs are encouraged to create their own Spotify playlists to make personal song selections part of the wedding soundtrack.

"Planning a wedding is all about creating moments that feel uniquely yours. One of the most powerful ways to make your ceremony unforgettable is through live music. As a wedding musician, I love collaborating with couples to craft the perfect soundtrack for their ceremony and cocktail reception. Whether it’s performing the song that played on your first date or arranging a fresh take on a tune that holds special meaning, I make it my purpose to bring your vision to life. There is the option of having a DJ simply play a recording of the song, but live music has a uniqueness that cannot be replicated; the performance exists for that one time only. I’ve had the privilege of performing for over 80 weddings, which also means I know how to adapt when the unexpected happens and still deliver a seamless performance. And throughout it all, I stay focused on what matters most—that this day is about you and the love you’re celebrating. What’s great about working with a solo guitarist like me is the flexibility it brings. If there are last-minute changes, I’m quick to adjust and when it comes to logistics, my guitar and I are highly portable which can be useful or even essential at some remote outdoor venues. If you’re looking to add that extra layer of magic to your wedding, I’d love to help create a soundtrack that’s as meaningful and unforgettable as the love you’re celebrating. " Garrett Pelland
