One Thing I Wish More Couples Knew About Ceremony Music

Let's be honest, planning a wedding comes with a lot of decisions and opinions. And sometimes? Feelings get hurt. In all the chaos, I've noticed that ceremony music often gets pushed to the bottom of the list. Probably somewhere between "order dessert forks" and "Google how to bustle a train." But if there's one thing I wish more couples understood, it's this: music sets the tone. Before a single vow is spoken, your guests are already soaking in the vibe, and the music you choose tells them exactly what kind of love story they're walking into.

Think about it: as soon as the first piano note floats into the air, hearts soften, people lean in, and time slows down just enough for everyone to understand what's approaching. It's such an iconic moment. And trust me, I can carry it. I don't say that to toot my own horn (okay, maybe a little), I just really mean it when I tell couples that I can command a room with my music. Because it's not just a "filler," it's the soundtrack to one of the most emotional days of your life. The emotional music realm is my playground, and I love making that moment unforgettable. Whether you're wanting the timeless Canon in D, a personalized Taylor Swift medley, or a string of songs that capture your favorite movie moments, live piano has a way of making the moment feel sacred. And most importantly, yours.

As a wedding pianist, I've seen how live music transforms a space. I've also witnessed the "uh oh" that happens when couples assume an iPhone playlist and a Bluetooth speaker will "probably be fine." (Spoiler alert: it rarely is.) A great ceremony isn't just about what you say, it's about the atmosphere you create for the promise you're about to make to each other. And when your guests are wiping away tears before you even say "I do," you'll know the music did its job.

Sending you sweet harmonies,
