How do I add background music?

Add music to enhance your wedding website experience using embedded Spotify playlists or audio elements.

Short answer: Add a Spotify section to embed a playlist, or use custom HTML for other audio options.

Adding a Spotify playlist

  1. Go to Site > Builder
  2. Click Add section
  3. Select Spotify playlist
  4. Paste your Spotify playlist or track URL
  5. Configure the player size and appearance
  6. Click Save

How Spotify embeds work

  • Guests see an embedded Spotify player
  • They can play, pause, and skip tracks
  • Guests with Spotify accounts get the full experience
  • Others can preview tracks for 30 seconds

Creating a wedding playlist

Ideas for your playlist:
- Songs that are meaningful to you as a couple
- Music that matches your wedding vibe
- A mix of your favorite artists
- Songs from your relationship milestones

Important notes about autoplay

  • Most browsers block autoplaying audio
  • Guests need to click play to hear music
  • This is a browser policy, not a WedSites limitation
  • Consider this when deciding whether to add music

Tips

  • Music can slow down page loading
  • Not all guests will want background music
  • A Spotify section is better than autoplaying background audio
  • Test how the player appears on mobile devices
  • Make sure your playlist is public or unlisted so guests can access it
