Enya – Wild Child (Official Video)

When it comes to soothing Western music, I recommend Enya, the songstress from Ireland.

I think her songs will enhance the solemn and mystical atmosphere of weddings and receptions.

One of her songs was also used as the theme for the film ‘Between Calmness and Passion.’ It’s a moving piece.

Boys Town Gang – Can’t take my eyes off you

The Boys Town Gang’s 1982 release of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” creates a special atmosphere when it’s played at weddings.

This song, which took Europe’s disco scene by storm at the time, is still loved by many and is perfect for celebratory wedding moments.

Their cover preserves the charm of Frankie Valli’s original while infusing it with a fresh disco sound, setting a mood that naturally brings smiles to guests’ faces.

Carried by Boys Town Gang’s powerful performance, a fitting energy for a new beginning spreads warmly throughout the room.

If you’re unsure about wedding background music, I recommend this classic!

At LastEtta James90rank/position

At Last (Remastered)

Etta James, hailed as a “storyteller of American music” for a voice that moves effortlessly through R&B, blues, and jazz.

The piece she included on her 1960 masterpiece At Last! originally comes from a 1941 film, but her passionate delivery established it as a timeless ode to love.

Beyoncé portrayed Etta and performed the song in the film Cadillac Records, and its use at the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Ball helped it resonate with younger generations as well.

Its romantic atmosphere—singing the joy of finally finding one another over graceful strings—makes it a perfect choice to grace emotional wedding moments like the processional or the first dance!
