Also known as a “life story movie,” a profile video is one of the must-see highlights of a wedding reception! It’s a video that traces the groom’s and bride’s upbringings and then introduces how the two met, something many guests look forward to.

Choosing the BGM can be tricky when creating this profile video.

Some people find it hard to decide because a single profile video can use up to three songs—for the groom’s part, the bride’s part, and the couple’s love story.

In this article, we’ll introduce a curated selection of songs perfect for profile videos to help you choose the right tracks.
