Import materials by clicking Import in the top-left panel and uploading video clips, such as those from the ceremony or the reception dances.
Customize your video
Add narration using the “Text” tab on the left, then select “Text to Speech,” inputting something like, “Their forever began here,” before choosing a “Warm” voice style to produce familiarity, and clicking “Generate.” Next, drag the audio to sync with the clip at the start, adjust volume to merge it with the music, and then preview for an emotional start.
Select the narration track and go to “Audio” in the top menu. Click on “Voice Changer,” then “Soft” to create the tender effect, preview it to ensure it fits the mood, and apply that.

Tips for Stunning Wedding Highlight Videos with CapCut
Start with Heart
Open the highlight video with something sentimental – perhaps a vow taken, a shared glance, or an emotional hug. Use CapCut’s visual effects like “Soft Glow” or “Dreamy” to allow such moments to play up well in those first frames, creating a lovely, romantic mood that will capture your audience right at the beginning.
Keep It Concise
It is best to finish the video within about 2-3 minutes because you want to keep the effect emotional without dragging. CapCut makes it easy to trim and split segments such as first looks, first dances, or toasts so that your highlight reel feels rich but never overwhelming.
Add a Personal Touch
You may want to get a little personal with the names of the couple, their wedding date, or even a favorite quote using CapCut’s stylish text tools. Choose graceful fonts and very discreet animations to go with the wedding mood, making that final edit feel truly intimate and absolutely unique.
Test the Mood
Play it a couple of times to ensure that the film runs smoothly from start to finish. CapCut provides easy control over changes in speed, transitions, and color grading-so you can make every frame truly warm-hearted and cinematographic.
