Ghostin’
Ghostin’ is a more recent track, but you two are guaranteed to fall in love with this song right away. Although it may feel like a sharp turn from some of Grande’s more upbeat songs, this tune is well worth a listen.
Ghostin’ is an incredibly vulnerable song, allowing Grande to lay her heart on the line as she serenades her former love. With its touching, solemn delivery, this is one of our favorite songs in the pop star’s discography.

Similar to Ghostin’, R.E.M. is a slower song that can be played when you want to chill for a minute. Take this time to chat with friends, relax, and settle in with your partner.
Love Me Harder
Capturing the charm of Ariana’s music, Love Me Harder is a fantastic song to add to your wedding playlist. Featuring The Weeknd, this hit song has a fun, flirty tone that will help take your reception to the next level.
The are plenty of great reception dance songs in Grande’s discography, but Love Me Harder is one that we just can’t resist. The two singers’ styles complement each other perfectly, creating a dreamy blend that your guests will love.
Love Me Harder has a steady rhythm but isn’t too fast-paced, so it would be an ideal track to open the reception following your first dance. This song would work well anywhere though, so it’s totally up to you!

Another collaboration on this list, The Way was a massive hit in Ariana Grande’s early career. Featuring the late Mac Miller, this tune celebrates the best of R&B and pop to create an upbeat, romantic track that doesn’t disappoint.
The Way is a flirtatious song where the couple shares all of the sweet, romantic things they love about each other. I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of a better way to celebrate your love story than with a song like this!
The Way can be played at any time during your wedding, but we recommend using it as a positive, upbeat recessional song. You two can also enjoy a fun, light-hearted dance as this song plays, smiling all the way through.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
You’ve probably heard this song covered time and time again over the years, but Ariana Grande’s rendition brings something truly unique to the table. Recorded live, her emotional performance shows off her skill, passion, and raw talent.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow was, of course, initially featured in the classic film The Wizard of Oz. This adds a touch of sentimentality and nostalgia, making it a great song to use for your father-daughter or mother-son dances.
