What you choose for your wedding songs will be what makes you happy. This seems like common sense, but some brides and groom bow under the pressure of family when it comes time to choose music for their ceremonies.

Song they use for their first dance
For the most part, a couple has a song they use for their first dance at their reception, but when it comes to ceremony music, there are and can be problems. Try to remember that this is your wedding day, and that no matter what mom says, or how many tears she sheds, you should be able to choose your own wedding songs. If you don’t, you are going to look back with disappointment.

Any song can be played on a piano
You can go with the traditional wedding songs if you want, but this may not be what feels right for you. Almost any song can be played on a piano, and all you need is a good pianist and the sheet music. They can learn the song rather easily, and they can also learn to play the song at a slower tempo if that is what you want for your day. You can also find almost any song arranged for stringed instruments like violin or cello if that is what you want.

Hire a professional singer
Some people choose to have wedding songs sung during their ceremony, and this can be quite moving. Don’t hire just anyone, and don’t pick a friend to sing just because they want to do it. It just takes a few flat notes to ruin the beauty of a song, especially on a wedding day, and you don’t want that to be your memory. Instead, hire a professional singer to take care of your wedding songs, and ask to hear them sing before you choose. It is important they can sing, but it is more important that they can sing the wedding songs you have chosen.
