20 Jason Mraz Wedding Songs to Add to the Queue
It's hard to think of Jason Mraz wedding songs without thinking of "I'm Yours." The hit song dominated not only our hearts, but also the charts, in 2008—setting a Billboard record as the first-ever song to top the Triple-A, Adult Top 40, Mainstream Top 40 and Adult Contemporary Charts.
But Mraz's artistry spans decades and includes tons of great love songs. In fact, he just released a collection of love songs earlier in 2022, called Lalalovesongs. That, plus the rest of his extensive discography, includes an amazing range of the best wedding songs—especially some perfect first dance picks.
With his soft and soulful voice, sweet and sensitive lyrics, and an organic, soft-rock sound with occasional hints of reggae, Jason Mraz's music makes a great choice for a wedding, similar to other trending contemporaries like Ed Sheeran, Ray LaMontagne and Jack Johnson.
