Your wedding music needs to be perfect, and Wedding Player makes sure it is. Build your wedding playlist for every moment, then play it exactly on cue: offline once downloaded, with smooth fades, and a locked playlist so the wrong song cannot play. Built by a dad for his daughter's wedding, and now available for yours. Wedding Player is purpose-built for the ceremony and the whole day: your own running order, your own tracks, perfectly timed. ▸ READY BEFORE THE DAY Wedding Readiness Reminders tell you before the day if something needs attention. Every couple gets a free wedding countdown. Full Access adds reminders if a track isn't ready to play offline, a moment has no music, or Wedding Player loses access to Apple Music, plus a day-before summary. Pros get one summary of every client wedding that needs attention, up to 24 months ahead. ▸ APPLE MUSIC, YOUR OWN FILES, OR OUR FREE LIBRARY Combine tracks from your Apple Music library with custom-edited local files (MP3, M4A, WAV, AIFF) in a single ceremony playlist. Most apps make you pick one. Wedding Player lets you mix both. Or start from Wedding Player Originals, a free built-in library of over 70 ceremony tracks you can download inside the app. New Originals appear as soon as they're added. ▸ MORE THAN A PLAYLIST: A CEREMONY TIMELINE Create named moments (Walking Down The Aisle, Signing The Register, Leaving), each with its own playlist, fade settings, and transition controls. Advance between moments with a single tap and a smooth fade-out countdown. ▸ NEW: WEDDING BACKUPS, PLUS iCloud SYNC Wedding Player now backs up every wedding on this device once a day, after you make changes, and before you delete a moment or a wedding. Restore any backup as a copy from Settings > Backups, or save one to Files. Included for everyone. With Full Access, your wedding also stays in sync across your iPhone and iPad through iCloud. ▸ GO LIVE: BIG CONTROLS, LOCKED RUNNING ORDER Switch to Live Mode and hand the device to whoever's pressing play. Extra-large controls. The playlist is locked, so no wrong songs and no wrong versions, and there is no skip control to hit by accident. Switching moment, restarting or leaving Live Mode all ask you to confirm first. Fade Out is one tap by default, or turn on Ask before fading so a stray tap asks first. Set it up once. Press play with confidence. ▸ PLAYS OFFLINE ONCE DOWNLOADED Wedding Player plays offline once your tracks are downloaded, even in airplane mode. No venue WiFi, no streaming, no ads, no surprises. Your own files play directly from your device, and the Offline Readiness check shows which Apple Music tracks still need downloading. ▸ PROFESSIONAL AUDIO • Crossfade between tracks (1 to 10 seconds) • Gapless transitions for Apple Music tracks (native MusicKit) • Volume normalisation across all tracks (-3 dBFS target) • Per-track trim points with fade-in option • Configurable fade-out (2 to 15 seconds) with live countdown ▸ BUILT FOR THE DAY • Per-track or per-moment looping (repeat until you're ready to advance) • Tracks flow on automatically inside a moment; the next moment is cued and waiting for your tap • Screen stays awake during playback • Works on iPhone and iPad ▸ TRY BEFORE YOU BUY The free demo includes 5 sample tracks and a guided walkthrough, and short video tutorials in Settings cover most of the main features. When you're ready, exit the demo and start building your own ceremony, then upgrade to Full Access for £12.99. One payment, forever. No subscription. No account required. ▸ FOR WEDDING PROFESSIONALS Running multiple weddings for a living? The Professional Licence (£5.99/month or £49.99/year, with a free month to start) lets every wedding keep its own moments, music and timings, so you can switch between them in a tap. Built for venues, celebrants and planners. Details at weddingplayer.app/professionals. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wedding Player at 100% against Spotify Kids's 29%. Wedding Player also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). Spotify Kids's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 15). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Wedding Player holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spotify Kids has 3.5K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Spotify Kids ships an update monthly, Wedding Player every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
