Whether you’re counting down the days to your wedding or just love a good romantic comedy, wedding-themed movies can provide inspiration, laughter, and maybe even a few tips on what not to do on your big day. From heartfelt moments to laugh-out-loud antics, these movies capture the magic, chaos, and fun that come with saying "I do."


Here’s a list of must-watch wedding movies to enjoy before your big day—plus, where you can stream them online!












1. Wedding Crashers (2005)

This hilarious comedy follows two friends who crash weddings to meet women, only to find themselves entangled in love and chaos. It's perfect for a lighthearted movie night.

Where to stream: Max, Amazon Prime Video (rent/buy)











2. Bride Wars (2009)

Two best friends become rivals when their weddings are accidentally booked on the same day at the same venue. This movie is a fun reminder of why communication is key!

Where to stream: Hulu, Amazon Prime Video (rent/buy)














3. & 4. Father of the Bride (1991) & Father of the Bride Part II (1995)

Steve Martin shines as the overprotective father coming to terms with his daughter’s wedding. Both movies are filled with heartfelt moments and comedic brilliance.

Where to stream: Disney+, Amazon Prime Video (rent/buy)












5. The Wedding Planner (2001)

This one's a classic. Jennifer Lopez stars as a wedding planner whose perfectly organized life gets complicated when she falls for the groom of one of her clients. And let's be honest, she gave us all slightly unrealistic expectations of the wedding planning process. Nonetheless, it's a must-watch.

Where to stream: Peacock, Amazon Prime Video (rent/buy)









6. Something Borrowed (2011)

A romantic drama about friendship, love, and complicated choices. Perfect for fans of love triangles!

Where to stream: Max, Amazon Prime Video (rent/buy)












7. 27 Dresses (2008)

Katherine Heigl plays a perpetual bridesmaid who begins to question her role in everyone else’s weddings. It’s a delightful movie about finding your own moment in the spotlight. And who doesn't love a James Marsden love interest?

Where to stream: Hulu, Amazon Prime Video (rent/buy)











8. The Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Wedding (2004)

Mia Thermopolis faces royal duties and romance as she prepares for her arranged royal wedding. It’s a whimsical and fun addition to any wedding movie marathon. Although we all hoped she would end up with Michael from the first movie, I think we can all agree that Chris Pine is a worthy consolation.

Where to stream: Disney+, Amazon Prime Video (rent/buy)











9. Marry Me (2022)

Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson team up in this modern rom-com about an unlikely love story that begins at a public wedding gone wrong.

Where to stream: Peacock, Amazon Prime Video (rent/buy)











10. Shotgun Wedding (2022)

(We promise this list isn't all just Jennifer Lopez but she did star in a lot of classic wedding movies!) A destination wedding turns into a wild adventure when the wedding party is taken hostage. Equal parts comedy and action!

Where to stream: Prime Video













11. Bridesmaids (2011)

This iconic comedy takes you behind the scenes of pre-wedding chaos with a group of bridesmaids who can’t seem to get it together. It’s a must-watch for the laughs alone! Perfect to watch with the girls on the bachelorette trip.

Where to stream: Hulu, Amazon Prime Video (rent/buy)
















12. My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997)

Julia Roberts stars in this timeless rom-com about love, friendship, and unexpected feelings. Make it a Julie Roberts double feature with Runaway Bride!

Set to the music of ABBA, this musical tells the story of a bride-to-be searching for her father before her wedding day. It’s an upbeat and feel-good choice!

Where to stream: Peacock, Amazon Prime Video (rent/buy)














18. The Proposal (2009)

Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds shine in this hilarious rom-com about a fake engagement that becomes something more.
