Having Trouble Choosing Your Wedding Music? Here’s A Tip From This Newlywed Couple of Wedding Professionals

April 14, 2018 Admin

Choosing your wedding music can be an overwhelming task. In addition to all of the beautiful classical music that’s already been written for string quartets, we can condense almost any pop tune to be playable on strings, making the options for your wedding day practically limitless. Read on to learn how wedding industry professionals Adam and Jessica decided on the music that would make their day most meaningful to them.

Adam Kirby and Jessica Dickman both work in the wedding industry: he works with Ilios Lighting, and she’s an event planner with Clink Events. When ILIOS Lighting and CLINK Events had a joint happy hour, a fellow co-worker introduced Adam and Jessica; they hit it off and went on their first date.

Five years later, it was their wedding day.

They chose the elegant backdrop of Ma Maison in Dripping Springs for their ceremony. This classic, 23-acre wedding venue in Texas wine country calls for the beauty of string instruments to match the grandeur of the towering live oak trees and serene water.

Although she’s an event planner, Jessica’s perspective switched when she was planning her own wedding. With the overwhelming amount of options and timelines and proposals to consider, Jessica realized what brides go through…. Weddings can be stressful!

So, how did Jessica and Adam choose their music?

They did one of the best things a couple can do: they decided to use music that was already meaningful to them. Remember, the music you play at your wedding will often be the thing that immediately brings you back to those wedding day memories, even years later. Choosing music that has a significant meaning to you, your partner, and your family will make your wedding memories even stronger.

The wedding party walked out to Your Hand In Mine by Explosions In The Sky

Jessica and Adam had been on a date to an Explosions in the Sky concert together, so this song had a special memory for both Adam and Jessica. Also, Jessica mentioned how this song always seemed to calm her. That’s a nice bonus to get out of your wedding music!

The bridal processional was from one of Jessica’s earliest memories: her years of growing up with her family, when they would often listen
to Shania Twain. She had the string trio play From This Moment On as she walked down the aisle. Now this song is not only a beautiful trigger to remember her early family memories, but also her wedding day.

For the recessional, which is typically the last piece of music played in the wedding ceremony, Adam and Jessica tied together their love story by choosing All You Need Is Love by The Beatles. When Adam proposed, he used a line from this song:

The Beatles once said: “All you need is love.” And I find that to be true.
