Electronic wedding songs by style

Electronic music covers many sounds, so it helps to know which one fits your day.

  • Tropical house: relaxed and sunny, popularized by Kygo, and ideal for a beach or garden wedding.
  • Progressive house: big builds and emotional drops from artists like Avicii and Swedish House Mafia, perfect for the peak of the party.
  • French house: funky, disco-sampling grooves from Daft Punk, Modjo and Stardust that every generation can dance to.
  • Future bass and melodic electronic: dreamy, cinematic sounds from ODESZA and Porter Robinson, lovely for the ceremony and the last dance.
  • 90s house and Eurodance: nostalgic anthems that bring parents and older guests onto the floor.

How to plan an electronic wedding

  • Choose radio edits for key moments: extended mixes can run eight minutes, so ask your DJ for the shorter versions during the ceremony and first dance.
  • Time the drop: for an entrance, the drop should hit just as the doors open or the couple appears.
  • Mix the generations: pair EDM with crossovers such as "Get Lucky", "Wake Me Up" and the 90s house classics so older guests stay on the floor.
  • Use remixes of familiar songs: house remixes of pop and soul classics bridge the gap between your taste and your guests'.
  • Book a DJ who knows electronic music: a good EDM DJ will read the room, build energy and save the biggest anthems for the peak of the night.
  • Watch the volume: keep the bass reasonable during dinner and speeches, then turn it up once the dancing starts.

Electronic songs for the cake cutting and exit

For the cake cutting, "Sugar" by Robin Schulz and "Digital Love" by Daft Punk are playful choices. For a sparkler exit, "A Sky Full of Stars" or "Don't You Worry Child" give a festival-style finish. See our cake cutting songs and wedding exit songs for more ideas.
