Adele Wedding Songs: What Couples Choose (2026)

Adele is a much-covered artist on FixTheMusic, with 191 acts including at least one of her songs, from string quartets and solo singers to full wedding bands. Couples are often specific about how they want her music: a bride in Maidstone asked her sister to sing at the ceremony in B flat, and a couple at Blackpool Tower had their DJ play Make You Feel My Love for their first dance.

This guide sorts Adele's best-loved songs by where they fit in your day, with ideas on which kind of act suits each.

Ceremony songs

For more processional ideas, see our guide to songs to walk down the aisle to.

Make You Feel My Love (2008)

Bob Dylan wrote it, but Adele's piano and vocal version is the one that turns up in couples' enquiries. A couple at Blackpool Tower chose it for their first dance, a couple in Crete picked it as one of their two ceremony songs, a couple in Florence put it in a ceremony playlist, and a violinist booking for a wedding at Stockport Town Hall was asked for it alongside At Last and Can't Help Falling in Love.

It suits almost any line-up. More than 100 acts carry it, including string quartets, wedding singers and bands, so you can choose the feel you want.

Mythos Strings and Saranova both have their own versions on their profiles.

Skyfall (2012)

A string quartet favourite. Most of the acts that carry it are string groups, and the sweeping arrangement suits a processional or a drinks reception. Sabina Joanna and The Manchester String Group have performance videos on their profiles. String groups also favour All I Ask, a piano ballad that works well for the signing of the register.

Hello (2015)

Over 40 acts carry it, and around half of them are string groups, which makes it a good one to ask a quartet about for a ceremony or a drinks reception. The opening piano line is recognisable within seconds.

First dance songs

Set Fire to the Rain (2011)

The couple in Chianti who chose it were thinking about the arrangement as well as the song. They said they were happy for it to be a male cover and mentioned Boyce Avenue's version, which is a useful way to approach any Adele first dance. Decide whether you want the big original or a stripped-back version, and say so when you enquire. String groups, singers and bands all carry it.

Easy On Me (2021)

The newest Adele song on our acts' profiles, and a gentle option for a first dance or the moments before the ceremony. Touha have a performance video on their profile.

Someone Like You (2011)

Nearly 50 acts carry it, and it is one of the great singalongs of the last twenty years, a song the whole room can join in. The Soul Evangelists have a version on their profile.

Rolling in the Deep (2011)

On more act profiles than any other Adele song, so it is easy to book. Wedding bands carry it more than any other type of act. Sarah Louise has a live version on her profile.

Something a little different

When We Were Young (2015)

Around ten acts carry it, so mention it early when you enquire. A handful of acts also include Chasing Pavements, One and Only and her cover of The Cure's Lovesong, and the same advice applies.

Adele wedding songs: FAQs

Is Make You Feel My Love an Adele song?

Bob Dylan wrote it and released it on Time Out of Mind in 1997, the same year Billy Joel recorded his own version. Adele recorded it for 19 in 2008, and hers is the version that comes up in couples’ enquiries on FixTheMusic. One couple in Paris listed it as a Bob Dylan song, so if you have a particular version in mind, tell the act which one.

What is the best Adele song for a wedding ceremony?

Make You Feel My Love is the one couples name most often for ceremonies, and more than 100 acts carry it, so you have plenty of choice of line-up, from string quartet to solo singer.

What Adele song works best for a first dance?

Set Fire to the Rain and Make You Feel My Love both come up as first dances in our enquiries, and Easy On Me is a newer option. Tell the act whether you want the original arrangement or something stripped back.

Which Adele song do wedding bands play most?

Rolling in the Deep is on the most act profiles, and wedding bands carry it more than any other type of act. Make You Feel My Love comes second, with string quartets and singers carrying it as well as bands.

Can a string quartet play Adele songs at a wedding?

Yes. 50 string quartets and classical groups on FixTheMusic list at least one Adele song. Skyfall and All I Ask are carried by more string groups than any other type of act. See our guide to the best string quartets for hire for more.

Will a wedding band already know Adele songs?

Rolling in the Deep is on the most act profiles, followed by Make You Feel My Love, so most acts that cover Adele will have those ready. For a less common song such as When We Were Young or Lovesong, tell the act early so they have time to prepare it.
