Wedding Music Inspiration At The Movies


Looking for the perfect first dance songs, romantic wedding songs or other wedding song ideas?


Musical inspiration at the movies

Choosing the music for your wedding day can be a timely process. Some couples know exactly the piece for the processional music, the signing of the register, the first dance and everything in between. Their ‘couple song’ is a perfect fit for a slow dance, and other favourite pieces to suit the occasion are readily agreed on. If, however, you are one of the tens of thousands of ‘To-Be-Weds’ desperately Googling ‘Wedding Song Ideas’ on a nightly basis, let us be of assistance. Looking to the movies for inspiration, we’ve put together a collection of our favourite romantic film songs:

Your Song - Moulin Rouge
