Whether you and your future spouse are big Disney fans with annual passes, or you just want your big day to feel like a fairy tale, these iconic love songs from classic Disney movies need to make an appearance on your wedding playlist.

At the heart of every Disney movie is a love story. Whether it’s between two people or the idea of falling in love with yourself, songs from Disney movies are genetically engineered to be perfect wedding songs. For example, love songs from classic Disney animated flicks like Snow White and Cinderella have several great options for the first dance. Fun and upbeat songs about romance from The Lion King, or, say, Hercules, are unique choices to break up the dance tracks during the reception.

If you want to have a Disney-inspired wedding without having to hand out mouse ears as favors (though you could do that too, we love it!), adding one or more of these 42 Disney wedding songs to your ceremony or reception playlist is a great way to infuse your big day with the magic of Disney.
