Marching on to the beat of your own drum

One of the easiest and loveliest ways to enhance the feel-good vibes of your wedding ceremony is great music, be it live or straight from the iPhone. There are lots of old faithfuls and new obsessions when it comes to ceremony music. I never cease to be surprised by people’s unique choices that are so fitting for their weddings! I’ve gradually been adding songs to the list over the years as I have encountered more and more perfectly suited tunes to those couples that had them.

Sometimes a new take on an old favourite, by way of a cover or even just an instrumental version, can also make all the difference. Below is a selection of an otherwise rapidly growing list of wedding songs that get you in all the feels – both softer and celebratory – for walking down the aisle, signing the goods, concluding the ceremony and first dance gold…
