The 10 best wedding films of all time

Get the popcorn and tissues ready, because here’s our list of the best wedding films of all time.

01. Mamma Mia! (2008)

This musical masterpiece is pure joy, with a fantastic cast and brilliant music from our Swedish musical gods, ABBA. The film centres on a wedding on a Greek island, where three potential fathers turn up, and offers a festive and colourful tale of family ties and love.

02. Bridesmaids (2011)

One of the funniest and most beloved wedding comedies. The film combines unforgettable comic moments with a lovely portrayal of friendship and rivalry. Who doesn’t love this film?

03. Made of Honour (2008)

Instead of a traditional love story where two people fall in love and get married, *Made of Honour* turns the formula on its head: the main character, Tom, only realises he’s in love with his best friend Hannah when she gets engaged to another man. And of course, it’s no bad thing that Patrick Dempsey plays the lead role – surely no one can deny that he’s a real treat!

04. Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)

This classic British comedy, starring Hugh Grant, has become a timeless film about love and friendship. It captures both the romance and the chaos that can arise at weddings and has a blend of humour and emotional depth that makes it unforgettable. Quite simply, a classic that you simply must see!

05. The Wedding Planner (2001)

Jennifer Lopez plays a wedding planner who falls in love with the groom (Matthew McConaughey). This romantic comedy is charming and light-hearted. It’s simply wonderful!

06. 27 Dresses (2008)

Katherine Heigl plays a woman who’s always a bridesmaid but never the bride. This romantic comedy is loved for its light-hearted humour and its portrayal of a woman trying to balance other people’s happiness with her own dreams of love.

07. Wedding Season (2022)

A modern and refreshing love story, in which two Indian-Americans fake a relationship but slowly fall for one another. The film stands out for its cultural representation and humorous portrayal of family expectations. The colourful wedding scenes and the balanced mix of romance and comedy make it one of our new favourites.

08. My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)

This culture-clash comedy has become a classic thanks to its humorous portrayal of family dynamics and cultural differences. The film offers both belly laughs and heart-warming moments as a Greek-American woman marries a man from a different culture.

09. Wedding Crashers

This comedy will have you laughing – and wishing that Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn would turn up at your reception. The film follows two divorce brokers who crash weddings in an attempt to meet women.

10. Monster-in-Law (2005) 

An entertaining wedding film that depicts the conflict between a mother-in-law and her son’s future wife. Jane Fonda gives an incredible performance as the manipulative mother-in-law. Lots of hilarious scenes that’ll have you in stitches! A film that deserves a place on this list!
