Are you planning your wedding and looking for ideas on more modern, upbeat and recent music to play?
There are 100’s of classic tunes that couples traditionally like to include in their wedding day soundtrack, but you have probably heard some or all of these at all of the most recent weddings you have attended. As a marriage celebrant, I am finding that in 2012, many of my couples are looking for something a bit more upbeat that suits their personalities, suits the style and formality of their wedding, and at the same are songs that fit who they are and what they like.
