A song to celebrate a wedding: a “congratulations” song from friends to the bride and groom.

Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

At weddings, it’s common to have performances like singing or to show a message video compiled from friends and colleagues.

At times like these, you might find yourself unsure about which song to sing or what music to choose for the background.

For example, singing a classic love song during a performance can feel a bit off, right?

So in this article, I’ll introduce songs that express friends’ and peers’ congratulations to the bride and groom.

Use this as a reference when choosing songs for performances or background music for videos.

Where the bouquet wentchay

Bouquet No Yukue

Where the bouquet wentchay

This is a song by singer-songwriter chay, written from the perspective of a female friend celebrating the bride’s wedding.

While it wholeheartedly conveys congratulations as a friend, as suggested by the title “Where the Bouquet Goes,” it also sweetly expresses the feeling of “I want to be the next one to find happiness!” If this is the first wedding among your group of friends, it might be nice for all of you to sing this song together as a gift.

Of course, performing it as a guitar-and-vocal piece like chay would also be lovely.
