Wedding Services:
Finding the perfect song for your wedding ceremony can be fiddly, but Braden is here to help!
One option is to have your favourite song arranged on to the guitar, where the vocal melody, rhythm, and harmony are all incorporated together to be played on the one instrument. An awesome example of this is his recording of Elvis Presley’s – “Can’t Help Falling In Love”. Braden can arrange almost any song and perform it like this recording, making it completely unique to your special day!
Braden can lengthen or shorten any song, so that it seamlessly finishes at the perfect time.
The Spanish guitar repertoire has lots of possibilities as well, and it is overwhelmingly beautiful. For example, a common request is “Recuerdos de la Alhambra”, and for good reason, it’s a stunning piece and perfect during the arrival of the bride. “Romanza” is another option, this one fits really well during the signing of the registrar too.
Once your processional song has been decided, Braden will share some examples of music which fits together so that your ceremony has a cohesive theme, and create a playlist of music that works before and after the ceremony, and throughout your cocktail hour!
