2025 St. Louis Wedding Music Trends: What Couples Are Loving Right Now

St. Louis is buzzing with new wedding music trends for 2025. Our couples are gravitating toward fresh beats, local flavor, and timeless melodies. Here’s a peek at what we're seeing on dance floors across the city:

🔹 First-Dance Favorites with a Twist

Modern takes on classic love songs are huge. Expect soulful renditions of “At Last” paired with lush, acoustic arrangements. Bonus points if the track features a soul or blues twist (no surprise, considering St. Louis’s musical roots).

🔹 Genre Mashups & Multicultural Vibes

DJ sets that mix pop, Latin rhythms, R&B, and even some indie-folk are catching on fast. Feel-good transitions (think from Bad Bunny to The Lumineers) keep the energy rising without losing the mood.

🔹 Local Love: St. Louis Artists

Don’t forget our hometown heroes. Songs by Nathaniel Rateliff and Nelly resonate deeply with local couples. It’s both a celebration of love and pride in St. Louis culture.

🔹 Upbeat Seconds: Reviving the “Second Line”

Inspired by New Orleans, but tweaked for St. Louis, second-line parades with brass bands, tambourines, and upbeat jazz are on the rise. It’s a lively way to bridge ceremony and reception, especially in venues with spacious patios or ballrooms.

🔹 Danceable & TikTok-Ready Hits

Tracks with strong hooks (think breaks that demand a “let’s dance” moment) are in. Couples want playlist moments that land well in short videos, especially for under-60-second TikToks that capture their big day’s energy.
