Soundtrack To I Do

Your Soundtrack = My response to brides asking for music help. If you would like help with music for your wedding day, contact me! I’d love to do what I can.

Today’s soundtrack is for Aryel. Here’s what Aryel had to say: “ Hi! I found this site on pinterest and it is like finding light in the darkness! I am having such a tough time working out my wedding playlist. We are pretty young and although we are strapped for cash but after we get married we are leaving to Romania to do outreach with street kids so I really want this night to be special! The most difficult thing about the wedding is that there are three pretty distinct groups coming, my fiances Josh’s family who are all Romanian and really hard to please, my family who can get pretty crazy, and josh and my invite list that consists of our close friends (all pretty fun 20 somethings) and our church family (we are devoted Christians). So you can probably see the trouble I am having! I need a wedding with fun, clean songs that won’t offend but we can dance to or enjoy. We love acoustic and alternative songs like The Avvette Brothers, Blitzen Trapper, The Head and the Heart, but also we like to have a good time and dance around to popular songs. We are getting married outside a renovated barn with the reception inside. Lots of string lights, wood, gold and blush colors. I would love if you could help us out!”
