Playing for a wedding this weekend and doing a nice mix of songs… the standards really, except for the bride’s processional. It’s something I’d never heard before… it’s beautiful, but VERY non-traditional. Actually, it’s from a video game. Yes, that’s right — it’s on a video game soundtrack. The cool thing is that I actually found printed sheet music for it!

I honestly believe that the music at your wedding should be YOUR music. It’s a day to celebrate and you shouldn’t be confined by what music OTHER people think you should have at your ceremony. Yes, that means if you want the sound system to blare “Walkin’ on Sunshine” as you exit the ceremony, then go for it. You want a Metallica song as you’re lighting the unity candle (“Nothing Else Matters”), then be my guest. I suppose there are limits to what would be acceptable, but really it’s all about the theme of the song… the style doesn’t matter one bit.

Here’s what I’m playing this weekend, just in case you’re interested:
