SONG LIST
It’s all about the tunes, man! I know literally 100’s of songs but here’s a sample list to give you an idea of what I'm about. I pride my myself on being versatile so if you have some 'interesting' ideas, bring em on!
There are many ways to approach the music for your wedding ceremony and it's surprising what can work great and still be appropriate for the occasion.
-
Want it to be upbeat/fun? - Let's try something current or classic Motown?
-
Worried the hymns can seem a bit downbeat? - How about some American Gospel songs?
-
Want something a bit different/alternative? - Let's do it!
-
Want to keep it traditional? - Great, I love singing the tried and tested beauties as much as the modern stuff
