Wedding Music

FAQ – Wedding Music

How do I choose music for different parts of the day?
Think in chapters. For the ceremony and vows, keep it soft and steady—piano, light strings, nothing that pulls attention. For first look or couple portraits, add a little lift: gentle guitar, a warm pad, a hint of movement. Reception highlights can go brighter and more rhythmic, but still tasteful, so the edit has energy without feeling like a promo.

What tempo fits a wedding film edit?
Slow to mid tempos sit best with walking shots, close-ups, and detail work—about 70–95 BPM. If your cut jumps quickly, choose a cue with a clear pulse (90–110 BPM) so you can land transitions on downbeats without rushing the story.

How do I keep music from covering vows or speeches?
Keep the voice on top. Run the bed 6–9 dB under narration, then duck it another 2–3 dB on key lines. Skip prominent cymbals or busy melodies, and avoid lyrics under vows. A brief breath before important words—half a second is enough—lets the moment land cleanly.

What should I use for invitation or save-the-date videos?
Short, memorable themes work best. Pick a cue with a clear opening, play 10–20 seconds, and end on a clean button so names and dates feel intentional. Keep the pace relaxed and the arrangement simple so on-screen text is easy to read.
