Boosting the Cake Cutting Ceremony＊

One of the main highlights of a wedding is the 'cake cutting'＊ It's a main event that all guests will focus on, so you want to make it exceptionally exciting, right?♩

To ensure the venue is all in sync and lively, choosing the right background music is a crucial point◎

When guests recognize the songs or if they are upbeat, natural cheers and applause will grow larger♡

Choose Two Songs for the Cake Cutting♩*

By the way, do you know how many songs should be selected for the cake cutting?

Even though it may seem like you only need one song for the single occasion of cake cutting, it’s actually a classic to change the song “before and after the cake cutting” to enhance the atmosphere＊

The first song should be a calm track, while the second song should be an upbeat track that plays from the chorus at the moment of the cake cutting♩

So, what kind of songs are suitable for the first and second songs? Let’s introduce them♡

Cake Cutting BGM＊Songs to Play in the First Half＊

The songs played in the first half before the cake cutting should be calm or exciting tracks◎

Since these tracks are played while the preparations for the cake cutting are being made, it’s better to choose bright songs that maintain a consistent atmosphere rather than songs that build up to a climax during the chorus♩

Here’s a song from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, “Once Upon a Dream”＊ This slow and romantic track is perfect for the first half of the cake cutting♡

Another Disney classic is Cinderella's “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes”♡ A perfect song for brides wanting to have a classic princess wedding♩

moumoon’s “Love is Everywhere” is a song that builds excitement until the cake cutting begins◎ It will likely bring smiles to guests as they gather near the cake stand＊＊

Cake Cutting BGM＊Songs to Play in the Second Half＊

The songs played in the second half should enhance the timing of the cake cutting! It’s recommended to start with the chorus or to play from the chorus♩

Tata Young’s "Crush on You" starts with an impactful chorus, making the cake cutting glamorous◎ It’s a perfect choice for stylish couples＊

The song “Ever Ever After” from Enchanted is also a lively and uplifting track＊ It’s recommended to play it just before the cake cutting begins, culminating in the 15-second "Ever Ever After" as you cut the cake◎

Sun Set Swish’s “I Love You”＊ Don’t you think the lyrics that begin with "I Love You" will create a charming cake cutting moment? The continuously happy melody should be played all the way through to the first bite♩

Two Songs for the Cake Cutting! Choose Festive Tracks♩

We introduced the songs for the first and second halves of the wedding cake cutting＊ While it's fine to have just one song, having two definitely adds to the excitement♩

Don't forget to clearly communicate to your planner the timing you'd like the songs to be played!
