🎶 The Most Popular Wedding Songs of 2025 (Acoustic Version)
Wedding songs, how do you choose? As a wedding singer in Yorkshire performing at dozens of ceremonies every year, I get a front-row seat to the songs couples are choosing for their aisle walk, first dance and special moments.
And 2025 has brought a new wave of beautiful, emotional and modern tracks that work perfectly as acoustic versions.
Whether you’re planning a Leeds city wedding, a Yorkshire barn celebration or a Manchester hotel wedding, here are the most popular wedding songs of 2025 — all stunning when performed live and stripped back on acoustic guitar.
🌿 Wedding songs – #1. “A Thousand Years” – Christina Perri (Still the Classic)
No matter the year, this remains the most-requested aisle song.
The 2025 trend?
A slower, softer acoustic arrangement for a more intimate, cinematic entrance.
💛 Wedding songs – #2. “Until I Found You” – Stephen Sanchez
Huge for 2024, still massive in 2025.
It’s romantic, nostalgic and perfect for:
- aisle entrances
- first dances
or drinks reception moments
The acoustic version feels timeless and warm — couples in Yorkshire love it.
✨ Wedding songs – #3. “Lover (First Dance Version)” – Taylor Swift
Swifties are dominating wedding playlists this year.
The stripped-back acoustic version is magical for first dances, especially for barn weddings in North Yorkshire.
🎵 Wedding songs – #4. “Perfect” – Ed Sheeran
Still one of the UK’s most-requested wedding songs — especially for first dances.
As an acoustic wedding singer, this song always lands beautifully.
🌙 Wedding songs – #5. “Moon River” – Audrey Hepburn / Modern Covers
This classic has made a huge comeback in 2025.
Couples wanting a vintage, elegant feel are choosing this for aisle walks or signing the register.
🔥 Wedding songs – #6. “I Get To Love You” – Ruelle
A powerful favourite for emotional ceremonies.
The acoustic version allows the vocals to shine — especially in a quiet venue.
🌼 Wedding songs – #7. “Better Half of Me” – Tom Walker
Yorkshire and Manchester couples request this constantly.
It’s heartfelt, modern and perfect for live acoustic performance.
💍 Wedding songs – #8. “Simply the Best” (Schitt’s Creek Acoustic Version)
This soft, emotional cover of Tina Turner’s classic is trending hard in 2025 weddings.
Perfect for both aisle entrances and first dances.
💫 Wedding songs – #9. “All I Want Is You” – U2 (Acoustic Slow Version)
Another revival!
Couples wanting something meaningful but not overly emotional love this as a ceremony song.
🌹 #10. “You Are the Reason” – Calum Scott
Still incredibly popular.
Stripped back acoustically, it becomes a goosebump moment for the ceremony.
🎤 Why These Songs Work So Well Live
