Cocktail Hour Song List – Solo Acoustic Guitar with Vocals

This is a list of songs that I use primarily for wedding cocktail hours. The themes are love, marriage, happiness and celebration. The mood is light and fun with a majority of the songs being medium‐tempo with a few ballads and a few up‐tempo tunes. There are songs on the list from many eras and genres so there should be something familiar to guests of every age and background.
