30 Modern Upbeat Love Songs For A Happy Mood At Weddings

Love songs don’t have to be all lovey-dovey. You can have upbeat love songs during your wedding reception. In fact, we actually recommend upbeat love songs! No more snoozefests during cocktail hours or while the meal is being served to guests. You can choose to have a more lively themed reception with a happy tone. Select from one of our modern upbeat love songs for your wedding day.

When selecting love songs for your wedding, don’t only think about tempo. Also, consider the lyrics of the song. Break-up songs and songs about bad relationships are also considered love songs. Select love songs that are about being in love or loving another!

Lastly, our list of upbeat songs is not party songs or party starters per se. If you want party songs or dance songs for your reception, see our list of party songs. These are more mid-tempo songs to have as a background song or mood setter.
