Ceremony Songs We’re Loving This Year
A timeless instrumental piece for the bridal entrance or something a little more modern and upbeat? Mendelssohn’s classic ‘Wedding March’ for the recessional or high-energy bangers to really celebrate this joyful exit? The music you choose for what is arguably the most significant moment in your romantic life is just that - significant.
At Peppers Creek, we’re lucky to work with some exceptionally personable and talented wedding musicians. Many of them have made their way onto our coveted Preferred Suppliers List and are regularly in touch, letting us in on everything from the best acoustic spaces and most memorable couples to tips on getting even the stubbornest of guests up and dancing. Recently, they dropped by to share their favourite ceremony songs. Spoiler: Responses are as varied as the entertainers themselves!
Melanie - Diamond Strings
‘Thanks to Bridgerton, there’s high demand now for contemporary songs played on vintage instruments like violins. A chic mixing of genres! Pared-back, intimate arrangements are also fun, allowing us to slow down the faster songs you love so they’re more romantic and cruisy.’

‘I Like It Better’ - LAUV
‘Can’t Help Falling In Love With You’ - Elvis
‘At Last’ - Etta James
