Top 10 Wedding Songs for 2025
A 2025 Philly Star Events Roundup of the Tracks That Lit Up the Dance Floor
If there’s one thing we’ve learned spinning weddings all over Philly this year, it’s this: 2025 couples are here for love, nostalgia, energy, and big moments. From soulful slow jams to wild reception anthems, we’ve seen these tracks bring people out of their seats and onto the floor — no matter the vibe or venue.
Here’s our Philly Star Events list of the Top 10 Wedding Songs for 2025, based on the real reactions, real couples, and real dance floor magic we’ve witnessed this season.
1. “Essence” – Wizkid feat. Tems
Still going strong in 2025. The perfect blend of smooth + sexy for cocktail hour or the first slow sway after dinner.
2. “On My Mama” – Victoria Monét
A favorite for the bride’s entrance or feel-good family dance sets. Strong. Joyful. Timeless.
3. “Before I Let Go” – Beyoncé (Homecoming Edition)
There hasn’t been a Philly wedding this year where this didn’t spark a soul train line. It’s a must.
4. “Peaches & Eggplants” – Young Nudy feat. 21 Savage
Yes, really. And it goes off after 10 p.m. for the right crowd. Add a fog machine and it's a wrap.
5. “Fallin’ Back” – Drake (Chopped Remix)
For the moody late-night crowd, we’ve blended this with afrobeat transitions and the response has been 🔥.
6. “September” – Earth, Wind & Fire
Because everybody dances to this — from your flower girl to Aunt Debra. Pure joy, no age limit.
7. “Cuff It (Wetter Remix)” – Beyoncé x DJ/Producer Mixes
This remix has been HUGE. First dance? No. Dance break between speeches? Absolutely yes.
8. “Nice & Slow” – Usher
Still undefeated for last slow dance of the night. Trust us — you want that 90s R&B energy on the floor.
9. “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” – Whitney Houston
We’ve watched this song lift the whole room — again and again. Every generation feels it.
10. “Not Finished” – Brent Faiyaz (DJ Flip Transition)
An unexpected hit for 2025. We’ve had grooms request it and crowds sing along by verse two. It’s lowkey and so Philly.
Philly Star Events tailors every wedding playlist to reflect the personality, energy, and story of our couples. No two receptions are the same — but these 10 tracks have made appearances in some of our most unforgettable celebrations this year.
