Sounds of Music

A wedding is a great milestone that leaves many markers, a single day which transforms two lives. More than any other single event, it evokes a spectrum of emotion from a little sorrow to unfettered bliss as the bride and groom symbolically leave their families to form a new one.


One melody can capture that range of feelings, moving blithely from poignancy to joy with nary a stray note. And unlike the food or flowers or other wedding essentials, the music will remain forever with the couple and guests. Henceforth, when a bride or groom hears the music chosen for their wedding, echoes of the day's sweet delirium may pluck at their heartstrings.


Your choice of music sets the tone for your wedding, and should reflect your love and who you are as a couple. These are a few popular ideas to get you thinking!
