song selection
Songs must be licensed...
Songs make such an incredible impact on the feel of your wedding video! They set the tone for the clips, evoke emotion, and add even more personality to the story of your big day. If you would like to, we would love for you to choose the songs that will make this video truly yours. We also give you the option of deferring the selection to our amazingly-talented editing team. They have a lot of experience with wedding videos and can choose songs that will complement the video clips of your big day. It's up to you!
Whichever route you choose, just be aware that copyright laws are very strict regarding the use of music in wedding videos. To play fair and keep us all out of legal trouble, we must be able to purchase a license for all of the songs we use in your video. But don't worry, we have subscriptions to four different music sites from which you may select your songs! You don't need to download anything, just let us know what you decide! You can either send your Event Manager a quick text or put them directly into your Personal Wedding Details Page.

If there is a pink "P," that song has an additional $25 charge to license it. For some reason, the pink "P" only shows up when viewing the songs on the computer.

If there is an "S" with a line through it, that song has an additional $59 charge to license it.
(If you use the AI Search, you can type in any song and it will show you songs similar to that song, but the song you typed in that shows at the top isn't available to license. Only the songs below it are available. Let us know if you have any questions about this!)

If we don't hear from you before your wedding day, we will assume that you would like the editing team to choose your songs. Please note that we edit your video to the beat of the song, so it is a lot of work to change a song after the video has already been edited. Because of this, we will charge a $75 re-edit fee if you want to change your songs after your video has already been delivered.
For the beginning song, we recommend something instrumental. These are slower and have a sentimental/romantic feel. Instrumental is best here because lyrics can be distracting during this portion of the video, and there is often recorded audio of vows or reading letters. Lyrics tend to "fight" recorded audio and make listening to your vows or letter reading difficult.
For the ending song, an upbeat, fun song fits well - this one can have lyrics, but it can also be instrumental.
As you are listening to the songs, keep in mind....
Below are our favorite song recommendations!
