🍁 Fall Wedding Vibes: 5 Songs That Set the Mood for Autumn “I Do’s”

There’s something undeniably magical about a fall wedding.

The air is crisp, the leaves are painted in warm tones, and the golden-hour light seems to glow just a little longer. Fall has a way of wrapping everything in a cozy, romantic feel — and when it comes to setting the tone for your big day, music plays a starring role.

At Touch of Class DJ Service, we’ve had the honor of curating soundtracks for countless autumn weddings across North Carolina. From rustic barns to elegant ballrooms, we know how to build the perfect vibe — and it all starts with the right song selection.

So whether you're walking down the aisle under a canopy of changing leaves or sharing your first dance as the firepit crackles nearby, here are five songs that bring fall wedding dreams to life.

1. “Tennessee Whiskey” – Chris Stapleton

A soulful favorite that always gets the room swaying. Chris Stapleton’s rich vocals and bluesy vibe bring warmth and romance to any fall celebration. Perfect for your first dance or a slow-down moment late in the night.

2. “Can’t Help Falling in Love” – Kina Grannis (Acoustic Version)

There’s a reason this Elvis classic remains a wedding staple — and this stripped-down acoustic version feels especially fitting for a crisp fall ceremony. It’s soft, emotional, and intimate — just like those heartfelt vows you’re about to share.

3. “You Are the Reason” – Calum Scott & Leona Lewis

This emotional duet creates a cinematic feel that resonates deeply during first dances or parent dances. The harmonies are stunning, and the lyrics capture the kind of all-in love fall couples seem to radiate.

4. “Harvest Moon” – Neil Young

If ever there was a song that embodied autumn romance, it’s this one. It’s nostalgic and poetic — ideal for a last dance or background music during a sparkler send-off. It's especially fitting for outdoor weddings or rustic venues.

5. “Shut Up and Dance” – Walk the Moon

Because fall weddings aren’t just about romance — they’re about celebration! This modern hit is a guaranteed dance floor filler and a fun way to kick off the party after dinner. Everyone knows it, everyone sings it, and no one stays seated.
