Ceremony Songs!

I did instrumental version of Dan and Shay's speechless for all of the processional. For my bridal entrance I used Tenerife sea by Ed Sheeran. For the recessional I used I do by colbie caillat

We chose instrumental covers to play as guests arrive. Our cocktail hour/dinner is all acoustic with a lot of covers there as well. My personal favorite is I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by Sleeping At Last. That was the vibe I wanted while we all mingle, eat, and drink in celebration.

We'll also be doing instrumental covers for pre-ceremony music before guests arrive, haven't decided on any in particular, but planning on looking into Vitamin String Quartet. The only song I'm dead set on so far is "Canon in D" for me walking down the aisle

I’m a musician and usually people choose a genre and let us play our own mix. They may have a few sentimental requests but choosing 1.5 hours of individual songs is just too complicated.

My FH picked a few songs for he and his guys and I honestly don't know what they are hahaha.

Parents & Wedding Party: "When We Were Young" piano cover by Constantino Carrera

Bride: Clair de Lune

Recessional: "Tenerife Sea" by Ed Sheeran

View Quoted Comment I’m sure that was so pretty! I love Dan + Shay!

View Quoted Comment I haven’t heard that song! I’ll have to listen to it!

View Quoted Comment I love Canon in D! My best friend (and Marron of Honor) walked down the aisle to it!

View Quoted Comment I’m in Nashville, and because there’s so much competition here, a lot of musicians are really flexible with their contracts. My prelude & cocktail hour are completely customizable, and my musicians will learn & play any song I request. I know that’s super rare! I’m using a lot of songs from their repertoire, though. 😊

View Quoted Comment That’s fun that your FH picked out some! Is he just surprising you on the day of?

No, I just don't pay attention to his music haha. I am however surprising him with my bridal march song, Clair de Lune is one of his favorites. I've been throwing him off with a fake freakout, "omg I can't find the perfect song!"

I’m walking to I Get to Love You too! Bridal party and family will walk to First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes and the recessional song will be I Believe in a Thing Called Loved by the Darkness
