Putting together your wedding playlist is an essential part of any wedding planning. It’s also a lot of fun. However, with the sheer amount of music out there ready to be downloaded and listened to at a touch of a button, you can easily get overwhelmed with the choices. So, in order to help you out and keep you from becoming a frazzled mess before your big day, we’ve complied a list of some popular songs for weddings that will be sure to make your wedding a day to remember.

Whether you stick with recordings or decide to hire wedding singer Sydney and a wedding band, your wedding entertainers Sydney needs are listed below. Everything from classical to modern, from reception songs to your first dance.  (Just a note, a few of these, especially the more traditional songs, have been mentioned in our earlier posts on wedding music, but that’s just because their the classics for weddings, and you can’t go wrong with the classics.)
