As a wedding planner, in Ottawa, we always get asked for recommendations when it comes to wedding day song choices. We’ve been brainstorming and have compiled some of our favourite songs for each of the most important moments of your special day. Remember, the songs you choose for these special moments on your wedding day should be reflective of you, as a couple. Maybe you have a special song that’s been a part of your entire relationship?? Find a way to incorporate it into your big day! The more you can incorporate parts of your love story into your special day, the more personal your wedding day becomes and is a true reflection of you both, as a couple.

Some couples find choosing songs overwhelming and it can be! But always remember to enjoy the planning process (it’ll be over before you know it!). Pour yourself a glass of your fave wine, make a tea, snuggle up with your fiance and start listening to songs! This could be a great date night!! Have fun with it!
