Top 10 Upbeat
Cake Cutting Songs

Often brides and grooms forget to choose their cake cutting songs. Perhaps they don't think it is an important part of planning your wedding music.

But as far as I am concerned it is quite an important part. If you choose the right song for this moment it can really highlight it and make an otherwise kinda boring moment (for many guests) into something more interactive and memorable.

Often guests are busy socializing, eating, drinking or standing in line for the bathroom when it is announced that the bride and groom will be cutting the cake.

And therefore they might be less inclined to drop what they are busy with to come and look at the two of you cutting the cake.


Make this moment something special by firstly having your MC or DJ announce that you will be cutting the cake, and secondly by choosing a nice, up-beat song with appropriate "sweet" lyrics.

Ask you DJ (or whoever is in charge of your music for the evening) to turn the volume up a little bit. This creates a bit of a festive mood for this moment and if you choose a song that everyone knows, you might even get them singing along and clapping hands!

Doesn't that sound much better than cutting the cake while 10% of your guests are watching you and the other 90% are just doing their own thing? I think so.
