13 years into my creating wedding ceremonies and s 13 years into my creating wedding ceremonies and something has become clear to me.

Wedding Music can be challenging to choose…what makes for the most authentic wedding music?

The wedding music is a significant part of your ceremony. 

Many couples & throuples worry that their music is “not appropriate”, “too unusual” or “not wedding enough” 

But this is the music that really has the greatest impact.

It is often the music that creates the most unforgettable experiencences.

Why?

Because when your guests feel like the music is like a ‘wink’ and they feel like they’re on the inside….’in on it’ 

That is when it feels the most authentic.

Your favourite people you’re surrounding yourselves with…

They are the ones who know you best hear that song and think: “Of course they chose that.”

If you’re wedding planning…you’ll be choosing wedding ceremony music

Here’s what to ask yourselves: 

Not…. ‘what sounds like a wedding?’

Instead....’what sounds like us’?’.

🌺There’s no single “right” way to have a wedding c 🌺There’s no single “right” way to have a wedding ceremony.

🌺Over 13 years as a celebrant, I’ve seen couples include traditions in all sorts of ways — from large bridal parties to standing together with no bridal party at all.

🌸The difference isn’t whether you follow a tradition or change it.

🌺It’s whether the choices you make feel like they belong to you.

🌸Your ceremony should reflect your relationship, your people, and the way you want to begin married life together 🤍

🌸What wedding “rules” have you given yourselves permission to rethink?
