Below is 3 examples of sample sets of music for your wedding from recessional to last dance. Just remember to pick music that you both love and incorporate it into your play list to create an event that is timeless for the both of you.

 

Your Wedding Style: Indie

Your wedding is as unique as you (hence the funny video montage you both created for your wedding web page). Your style is understated with quirky details, like the Converse sneakers he’s wearing with his suit or the fabric clutch you found on Etsy.com that goes perfectly with your casual, vintage dress. When it comes to music, you’re anti-Top 40 for your wedding (or any other day, while we’re at it).
