Whitney Houston is an iconic pop singer from the 80s and 90s and has released some of the most well-known songs we still adore today. Known for a power ballad and songs of a romantic and emotional nature, they are often great choices for your wedding reception or even your first dance.
I wanted to share some of the best wedding songs by Whitney Houston that you might want to add to your playlist.
Whitney Houston’s Wedding Songs
I will always love you
“I hope life treats you kind/And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of/And I’m wishing you joy and happiness/But above all this, I wish you love”
This has got to be one of the most iconic Whitney Houston songs and one that many of us will know. Most famous for being number one and one of the big power ballads from the renowned film The Bodyguard, this is a great choice for your wedding reception. You can enjoy a slower pace during the reception, or perhaps choose it as a first dance.
I want to dance with somebody
“Oh, I wanna dance with somebody/I wanna feel the heat with somebody/Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody/With somebody who loves me”
Another fabulous song and one of the more up-tempo songs when it comes to Whitney Houston songs. This is an iconic dancefloor number and will certainly get everyone up on that dance floor. It might not be a choice you make for the first dance, but it is definitely a big recommendation for the wedding reception and will certainly get that party started.
I have nothing
“Take my love. I’ll never ask for too much. Just all that you are. And everything that you do”
A slower-paced song that has lyrics discussing how if you don’t have that one person in your life you have nothing. This is a great tun for your first dance, or if you want to slow down the pace of the reception then this is a great song to choose.
I’m your baby tonight
“From the moment I saw you/I went outta my mind/Though I never believed in/Love at first sight/But you got a magic boy/That I just can’t explain”
Who doesn’t love this song? A very recognisable uptempo song from Whitney Houston and is perfect for your wedding reception. This is a song that will get everyone on the dance floor and will kickstart the party vibes.
My love is your love
“‘As the years, they pass us by (The years, the years, the years)/We stay young through each other’s eyes (Each other’s eyes)/And no matter how old we get, oh/It’s okay as long as I got you, babe”
Saving all my love for you
“You used to tell me we’d run away together/Love gives you the right to be free/You said, ‘Be patient, just wait a little longer’/But that’s just an old fantasy”
This was Whitney Houston’s first number back in 1985. Her powerful voice mixed with the emotional lyrics makes for a wonderful wedding song. It will encourage couples to get up and will add a nice slow pace with a romantic vibe to your reception. You can also have this as a first dance song.
One moment in time
“I want one moment in time/When I’m more than I thought I could be/When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away/And the answers are all up to me”
Some might say your wedding is like having one moment in time, and this is a great song choice for your wedding reception or even a contender for the first dance if the lyrics resonate with you.
How will I know?
“How will I know if he really loves me? I say a prayer with every heartbeat I fall in love whenever we meet I’m asking you what you know about these things”
This is more of an upbeat song and one that is guaranteed to get your guests up on the dance floor. It is a fun song with a fast tempo and is a great tune. We all know that it is all about being unsure about whether the love is reciprocated, so the lyrics might not resonate for a first dance, but it is an iconic song and one most people know.
Whether it is up-tempo and faster-paced songs you want, or something a little slower, there is a Whitney Houston song that is perfect for your wedding playlist. I hope these suggestions help you when choosing Whitney Houston Wedding songs.
