We get it. You’ve heard “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran at every wedding for the past five years—and if we hear “Marry You” by Bruno Mars one more time, we might just start crashing receptions for real. If you’re looking to break away from the predictable wedding playlist and give your guests something fresh, edgy, and memorable, you’ve come to the right place.
At Deez Entertainment, we believe your wedding soundtrack should be as unique as your love story. So here’s a list of 10 wedding songs you didn’t know you needed, that will have your guests saying, “Now that’s a wedding!”

For a fun and slightly trippy vibe, this track brings the energy to your reception entrance or even a late-night dance floor moment. It’s the perfect balance of retro-electro to get people moving.

If you’re looking for a soulful first dance track that feels romantic but isn’t overplayed, this is your jam. It’s full of warmth, heart, and those “aww” moments without being too sappy.

This track is ideal for your reception finale or even a first dance if you’re up for something energetic. The song’s upbeat tempo and Florence’s powerful vocals make it an unforgettable anthem to kick off your forever.

At Deez Entertainment, we specialize in reading the room and keeping your vibe alive all night. We’ll work with you to create the perfect playlist that ditches the clichés and sets the stage for the celebration of a lifetime.
