Wedding playlist inspiration.
Nine curated playlists for every moment of your day — processional through to the last song. On Spotify, Apple Music and TIDAL. Browse, listen, borrow freely, and use them as prompts for your planning call.
Every wedding has about nine music moments that matter, and each one wants a different texture. These playlists aren't a rigid prescription — they're a jumping-off point. Pick what fits, strike what doesn't, send me the shortlist on your planning call and we'll build the night around it.
Note on versions: each playlist uses studio recordings where possible, with remasters preferred over originals. Some tracks are covers (Vitamin String Quartet, Haley Reinhart) where the cover is more commonly used at weddings than the source.
Each playlist sits on three platforms — Spotify, Apple Music and TIDAL. Tap your platform of choice below each player.
Pre-Ceremony Prelude
Soft background while guests arrive and settle. Instrumental covers, piano, jazz and strings — enough atmosphere to fill the silence, quiet enough to let people chat.
