Instrumental Wedding Music

I'm stuck on what to play for ours! Lol. I love country (FH hates it) and pop (FH hates it) and rock (FH hates it lol) and FH loves alternative stuff like Coldplay and these random foreign bands like Dark Sanctuary (a French group). I like the sound of a lot of Dark Santuary's songs, but they are all in French haha and I don't think that goes very well with country so I'm at a loss for what to play!

FYI the site I mentioned above has piano instrumental versions of Coldplay and lots of country songs. Look on the wedding albums and listen, they are from country songs but since there are no words and its only piano they may be a good compromise for the two of you!

Ooh nice! Ok I'll go look.

Omg omg omg, I'm crying because it is sooo beautiful!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I was near tears on a few of the songs! I want to down load his whole site!

We are also doing alot of just instrumental music for our ceremony, we're not having anyone sing while we do our unity candle. im finding youtube to be very helpful, ive just been typing in names of songs followed by "piano version" after it. theres a lot of talented people on there and it helped me pick our music. for example, im walking down the aisle to "all i ask of you" from phantom of the opera, piano version, its so beautiful. i recommend listening to it.

Sounds beautiful Heather! And I've found a few instrumentals on youtube also! =)

I am literally in tears from his piano version of Faithfully by Journey.

Yes I liked that one too. I loved his version of You & Me by Lighthouse.

Omg yes. I know what I want for my birthday now lol (christmas is too close to request the cds now). Lol I want every one of them lol.

LOL, I'm going to make my FH look this up tonight and see what he thinks!

Good luck finding what you're looking for! Wedding music is SO much fun

Yes, Kellee, that's a great site for piano wedding music. Some brides/grooms also prefer strings, brass, woodwinds, organ, and my favorite, harp.

@ Michelle-thanks for those sites! I'm always looking for instrumental versions of songs!

@ Dr DJ-Harp is so classic and elegant for weddings! There are a few here in Tucson and I did consider hiring one to play live for the ceremony but it ended up not in the budget =(

Vitamin String Quartet...google them...you'll be impressed..I promise

Hubby is sleeping so I can't check out the site but I really liked The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for instrumental versions.

I really like his CD! Do you think it would be too slow to play this for part of the cocktail hour?! Just kind of looking for some light background music, but I don't want it classified as elevator music!

RavenK, I posted the link above for Vitamin String Quartet. I agree....they are AWESOME!

Thanks guys! I'll be sure to check out Vitamin String Quartet and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra!

@ Loveat1stsite~I personally don't think it would be bad to play at the cocktail hour. Most of the songs are kinda slow but most of them are songs people will recognize!

Wow that is a great idea. I could not come across any intsturmental and my wedding is in 10 days. so thank you Konichiwa. I also have Yiruma on my list of composers he is really good
