13 Of The Best Country Wedding Songs For 2025

With country music becoming so popular, we had to put together a blog post to share the 13 best country wedding songs you need for your upcoming big day.

Wedding country songs are all about good times, the first dance with the one you've waited for your whole life, and getting all your guests on the dance floor celebrating.

FixTheMusic has the best selection of wedding bands, roaming bands, showbands, and more, to make your wedding day awesome. So, once you find a song (or songs!) on this list to add to your playlist, we have you covered when it comes to finding who will perform it.

Our top recommendations for a country band for your wedding include Road To Tennessee and Heartland.

From romantic ballads to songs perfect for a father-daughter dance and beyond, there's something on this list for you! Here are 13 epic country wedding songs (plus bonus tracks!) that you’ll love.

1. Breathe - Faith Hill

All-American girl Faith Hill has incredible love songs, but Breathe has to be one of the most-loved songs to play at a wedding. With iconic Faith Hill lyrics, like, “I can feel the magic floating in the air,” playing while you share your first dance, you just know that your wedding is the start of perpetual bliss together.

2. Bless The Broken Road - Rascal Flatts

Does country music get any more country than Rascal Flatts? Country love songs are all about the ups and downs leading to love. And as you sway together on the dance floor to Rascal Flatts lyrics, like, “God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you,” you'll feel the obstacles were worth it for the happiness you’ve found.

3. My Little Girl - Tim McGraw

Tim McGraw ensures a soul-warming bride and daddy dance on your wedding day. Like all good country songs from dads to daughters, it shares a father's emotions as he lets his little girl go. This one is sure to have your wedding guests dabbing their eyes and your Dad beaming with love and pride.

4. Love Story - Taylor Swift

With famous Taylor Swift lyrics like, “You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,” this country song is all about fairy-tale romances. It's one of the most popular wedding songs to get the party started.

If you want this dance song performed on your big day with just as much feeling as Taylor Swift, look no further than hiring Road to Tennessee.

5. Die A Happy Man - Thomas Rhett

This wedding hit promises eternal devotion. Thomas Rhett's lyrics move from the flirty, “You're a saint, you're a goddess, the cutest, the hottest,” to the ultimate special moment of, “If all I got is your hand in my hand, Baby, I could die a happy man.”

This is one of those country songs that will have the dance floor rocking right after your romantic first dance.

6. You And I - Eddie Rabbitt and Crystal Gayle

This is one of those timeless country wedding songs delving into the complexities of love and commitment. With lyrics like, “And I love you even more than I ever did before,” your guests will adore this romantic ballad. Picture an acoustic duo performing this live as you share a romantic first dance.

7. Amazed - Lonestar

As one of the most romantic country tunes, an acoustic version of this would turn your processional into a movie scene. With a tender rendition like that from Sunbirds Duo, your first dance with your new spouse would be pure bliss.

8. Country Girl (Shake It For Me) - Luke Bryan

For an upbeat track and pure fun, Country Girl is one of the best country songs to add to your dance songs playlist. When he sings, "Shake it to the moon, shake it for me girl," you may get shocked gasps from some - but you may also get your grandma on the floor shaking it with you!

If you choose to have a wedding after-party instead of a formal reception, think about hiring a wedding singer to perform this to get your party rocking all night long.

9. 10,000 Hours - Justin Bieber

Bieber is not normally associated with country songs, but this hit (co-written with the duo Dan + Shay) should be on every wedding playlist. What could be more romantic than wanting to know every little detail about your lover? These lyrics irresistibly draw you like a honey bee to a rose.

It may not be a traditional first dance song, but it definitely works well at a country wedding.

10. I Run To You - Lady A

Lady A is on the playlists of many country weddings - and for good reason! Sweet Southern style coupled with lyrics like, “You're the only one I run to,” will have your guests in a puddle of happy tears!

Hiring a live band or DJ means that you can also get their other songs, like, “Need You Know” in the mix, too.

11. Beer Never Broke My Heart - Luke Combs

12. Forever to Me – Cole Swindell

Filled with emotion and sincerity, Forever to Me (Our Version) by Cole Swindell captures the essence of personal commitment like no other country song. Swindell wrote the song for his wife, and this new piano-led rendition (released February 14, 2025) makes it perfect for first dances.

With lyrics like “I might’ve gave her the diamond / But she gave forever to me,” it’s an intimate and genuine declaration of love that could be performed live by a stripped-back acoustic duo or soft live band set.

13. Love Is a Beautiful Thing – Phil Vassar (cover of Paul Brandt)

This charming country song lays out the small, beautiful details of a wedding day — the laughter, the family, the shared moments — in vivid storytelling. Originally released in 1999 by Paul Brandt, Phil Vassar’s cover soared to #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in 2008. With lines like “love is a beautiful thing,” it’s a heart-swelling choice for a live performance, whether during the signing, dance or casual reception time, this one’s sure to pull at the heartstrings.
