Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I’m sure you are deep into wedding planning right now, and with that comes the important job of choosing your Wedding Ceremony songs. I’m here to help.
My name is Angelina and I’ve been a wedding harpist for over ten years. I’ve played for hundreds of weddings, and each one has been unique. One of my favourite parts of my job is curating a playlist for the ceremony that you LOVE. A playlist that really means something to you is so special and you’ll always remember it.
I’m writing this blog post to say: if what you love isn’t classical music, have something else instead.
Yes, I’m a harpist, and the harp is seen as a classical instrument. But I’ve also played lots of pop covers and film music at weddings, and it has worked so well. It works so well because it is personal to you both as a couple. I’ve even played music from video games! I would absolutely love it if a future couple requests the music from Tetris or Super Mario. Those were my favourites when I was younger!
Wedding Ceremony songs – make it personal
The more personal touches you can add to your wedding ceremony, the more memorable it is going to be for you and your guests. So choose something outside of the box if that’s your style!
Conversely, if you love classical music and have pieces that are meaningful for you – absolutely have those as part of your ceremony. Just don’t feel bound by tradition or what you feel you ‘should’ have. Have a look at my previous blog posts for inspiration. I try to report back from weddings that I play for and include their Wedding Ceremony songs. It might just give you some ideas.
