Lark Music’s tips for Songs on your Wedding Day!
July 21, 2018
Music plays a vital role in your special day and we’re not just saying that because we’re … well… musicians! Ask anyone about the early days of their relationship and most of the time couples attended gigs together made lasting memories to a soundtrack. Here at Lark Music we want to enhance your day with YOUR favourite music.
Take some time to decide on the music for your big day and compile a list of tunes that you absolutely love and even those that you hate. Send them over to the band and if they cannot play them live I am sure they will be able to pop recordings on in the set break.
You’ll find that our band can play just about anything. From Queen and The Beatles to Beyonće, Bruno and Pharrel.. we cover it all. Check out a selection from our band songlist to see tunes for classy acoustic sets, dance floor hits, bridal dances and sing-along classics.
Here’s a sample of our favourites for inspiration for the perfect atmosphere, full dance floors and sing-a-longs:
- Ain’t no Mountain High EnoughMarvin Gaye
- Billie jean Michael Jackson
- Blame it on the boogie Jackson 5
