Hi all! I am looking for suggestions for the best piano songs for my wedding ceremony next year (if they're love songs even better!).

I would love to walk down the aisle to something from Broadway but am stumped.
Thanks in advance!

I did an arrangement/mash-up of "Without You/I'll Cover You" for a friend's wedding. It was for three female voices, piano, and string trio, so it probably doesn't help you, lol, but maybe it will give you an idea. I'm trying to remember, though, I think that might have been performed at the reception. For the walk down the aisle I arranged "Sun and Moon" for the string trio; that would sound really pretty with solo piano.

There is always the "Processional/Maria (The Wedding)" from The Sound of Music! You're name doesn't happen to be Maria, does it?!

But, seriously: if there is a song that you/your partner love from a show, see if there is a piano version of it on iTunes, or Spotify and listen to it. I'm on Spotify, and there are some lovely piano versions of songs.

I happen to be a wedding photographer and I have heard many things used.  There was a beautiful ceremony that they walked down to Falling Slowly from Once.  It was just a piano to start and then a violin.  It was stunning and beautiful.

Are you looking for just music - or will there be a vocalist?

Ggersten, it'll be just music, no vocals

I'll definitely check Spotify and Falling Slowly! Thanks Updated On: 12/20/20 at 08:39 PM

Not likely what you had in mind for walking down the aisle, but maybe after ceremony when you're walking up the aisle.

Genius George and a master Broadway song on the piano.
