Music for wedding video

Question for all you music buffs out there.

IF you had to choose 1 piece of music to play over the top of a slideshow of wedding photos, what would it be?

Re: Music for wedding video

Not sure I'd use it myself, but there was a bit of classical music, which, whenever I stuck it on, everyone would say "Ooh! Wedding music!".

Think it must've been something from Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" or as Bob Mortimer used to call it "summat out the Hoseasons brochure".

No! Actually I think it was part of Handel's Water Music?



EDIT: How about "You're The One for Me Fatty" by Morrisey?

The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go

Evilgirlfriend2 thinks Another One Bites the Dust might be a good choice.

Re: Music for wedding video

I have produced quite a few wedding projects,I usually ask the couple themselves (Is it your wedding ?) and have been requested to add tracks including :

Angels : Robbie Williams
When You Say Nothing At All : Ronan Keating
The Power Of Love : Jennifer Rush
Your Beautiful : James Blunt
Show Me Heaven : Maria Mckee
My Heart Will Go On : Celine Dion

Strangest request I had was The Darkness : I Believe In A Thing Called Love .I thought err... ok if thats what you want !.Actually went quite well in finished project and they loved it !!!.

Watched a wedding slideshow some tool had set to Kenny Rogers/Dolly Partons : Islands In The Stream which was cheesy and pants beyond belief.More to point the couple HATED IT !!!.Got me to redo it to music of there own choice.

Music is a very personal choice if the slideshow if for someone else I would ask them for there choice and maybe give them a few examples.Just remember you are supposed to obtain a copyright licence to reproduce copyrighted work.However,If your after royalty free pieces have a look here.I have used some of Kevin Macleods pieces in a few of my projects.There are very some very good professional pieces to be found on his site.Just read the rules before using any.He asks for a $5.00 donation and to be credited for his work in your project.Other than that they are all free to download and try.His site is http://incompetech.com/

Hope this helps.

Re: Music for wedding video

I think the Beatles is always a winner. "All You Need is Love" would be a good one, or "Ob-La-Di..." for something a bit more lively.
