Help - Modern/instrumental wedding music

*SoonToBeMrsC*, 11 June, 2015 at 09:31 Posted on Planning 0 4

I am trying to find the right tone for the wedding ceremony music. We are having a civil ceremony and I quite like the idea of having modern music in played in a classical way. I was talking to a guitarist at the weekend and he played some modern songs which sounded absolutely beautiful (Use Somebody - Kings of Leon, All of Me - John Legend, 1000 Years - Christina Perri) HOWEVER... hubby to be doesn't want to pay for someone to play 'background music' when our venue has a very good sound system...

I have been searching for songs on iTunes and downloaded a number of songs by pianists, but I feel like I am running the risk of sounding too cheesy....can anyone recommend an album or musician's songs I can download??

Thanks in Advance!

    Check out Vitamin String Quartet, they cover a lot of modern music in a classical style. We are having their version of Sky Full of Stars for my entrance.

    I quite like The Piano Guys, some of their covers are really good.

    I've booked a fantastic musician called Simon Jordan, who plays anything. He's put a list of music other brides have chosen on his website http://pianistwedding.co.uk/what-other-people-chose/ which may be of use to you. He played at my sister's wedding and was EXCELLENT.

    You can also see a selection of musicians that could not only play the ceremony music but also provide live background music for your drinks reception or meal Smiley smile

    Check some of them out here www.mango-music.co.uk

    I second this. I had a Piano Guys cover of A Thousand Years to walk down the aisle.
