Wedding music plays a crucial role in setting the tone and creating memorable moments on your big day. As a wedding musician, I've noticed some exciting trends emerging that can add a unique touch to your celebration. Here are a few to consider as you plan your special day:
Mixing Genres: Couples are increasingly blending different musical genres, such as classical, pop, and jazz, to create a diverse and dynamic playlist. This approach allows for a personalized soundtrack that reflects the couple's unique tastes. Be sure to consider your timeline - ebb and flow the music to fit the energy you're trying to create throughout your celebration. For instance, increase the energy after your Recessional as your family and friends are riding the high after your pronouncement as newlyweds and start your Cocktail Hour off on a celebratory foot. Gradually settle into dinner with music that facilitates conversation and mingling, and then kick the party into high gear with tunes sure to pack the dance floor!
Modern Covers of Classics: Reimagining classic love songs with a modern twist is a popular choice. Contemporary arrangements of timeless hits provide a fresh take on beloved tracks, making them perfect for ceremonies and receptions. Alternatively, modern selections arranged in a classical style creates a calm and elegant prelude or dinner set that's at once recognizable and elevated.
Cultural Fusion: Celebrating cultural heritage through music is gaining popularity. Couples are incorporating traditional songs from their backgrounds alongside modern tracks to create a beautiful fusion of sounds. Pop songs from around the world can be a fun way to showcase your family history and culture, places you've traveled together throughout your relationship, or as a preview into where you'll journey for your honeymoon!

Just be sure to coordinate with your musician in advance to ensure everything is smooth and cohesive!
