ALTERNATIVES TO 'HERE COMES THE BRIDE'
After a busy fall/winter season, happy to be back blogging! I've DJ'd quite a few weddings lately held in unique venues all over the NYC area and many brides have chosen unique songs to which they walked down the aisle. Thought I'd share of a few of them -- everything from Ingrid Michaelson to Eddie Veder to One Republic covering Beyonce's Halo.
Each sets a different tone and mood - so no matter if you're going for sweet & sentimental or dramatic or contemporary...there are many, many songs out there just waiting to be found.
Your DJ should be able to trim or edit the parts you like or cut the weird lyrics (there are always weird lyrics). Of course, there are hundreds of great modern-tracks-with-a-classic-twist from the very popular Vitamin String Quartet. Or, if you're looking to go back to the classics, the Lumiere String Quartet has great selections. Both are available on iTunes or Amazon for download purchase.
