The Best Sparkler Songs for Your Wedding Exit Playlist

The last dance is over. The crowd is cheering. The sparklers are lit. Now all that’s left is you, your forever person, and the perfect soundtrack for the most magical goodbye.

A sparkler exit is more than just a pretty photo op—it’s your final moment to shine, surrounded by love, light, and the music that tells your story. Whether you want something upbeat and fun, slow and emotional, or purely cinematic, the right exit song makes all the difference.

Here’s a list of the best sparkler songs to light up your wedding exit playlist—plus tips on how to time everything just right.

💫 What Makes a Great Sparkler Exit Song?

Before we dive into the playlist, let’s talk vibe.

A perfect sparkler song should be:

• Uplifting or emotional—depending on your style

• Easy to walk to in rhythm

• Recognizable enough to get your guests clapping or singing along

• The right length—ideally 2.5–4 minutes, matching your sparkler burn time

If you’re using 36" Gold Wedding Sparklers, you’ll get about 3–4 minutes of beautiful, golden glow—plenty of time for a full send-off moment with your chosen song playing in the background.

🔥 Timing It Right with Your Sparklers

Not all sparklers are created equal. To match your song length with your sparkler burn time, here's what to know:

• 36" Sparklers — Burn for ~3.5 minutes. Ideal for longer songs and big exits.

• 20" Sparklers — Burn for ~2 minutes. Great for mid-tempo songs and smaller groups.

• 8" Sparklers — Burn for ~30 seconds. Perfect for quick exits or kid-friendly fare.

Plan to start the song just before lighting begins. That way, the music builds right as you step into the glowing tunnel.

📱 Pro Tips for the Perfect Sparkler Send-Off Song

• Coordinate with your DJ or band to cue up the song at the perfect moment

• Assign a sparkler lead to give guests a quick lighting cue

• Practice your walk beforehand if timing matters (especially for photographers)

• Choose low-smoke wedding sparklers for a cleaner backdrop in your photos

ReadySetSparkle’s 36" sparklers are a favorite for exits because they give photographers the time they need to capture every glowing second.
