Stop Looking at My Song List. Look at Yours Instead

You’ve chosen the venue. The caterer. The florals. The font on the invitations. The color of the ribbon on the favor boxes.

And now someone is asking you to choose your ceremony music from a list of 300 songs including some you’ve never heard of.

No.

Why Wedding Musician Song Lists Don’t Work

Here’s what nobody tells you: that process is designed to make you settle.

When you shop from someone else’s list, you’re not choosing your music — you’re choosing from their limitations. You’re letting their repertoire define your ceremony before you’ve even had a conversation. You’re filtering your own taste before anyone has said no. And if the list is long enough, the sheer volume of options creates decision fatigue that pushes you toward whatever feels safest.

Decision fatigue is real. There are 30 kinds of cereal, 40 different shampoos, and now you have 300 songs on 10 different wedding musician sites to scroll through. Is that how you want to plan your wedding music?

Here’s what I do differently at Gigue Music — and why I don’t lead with a song list.

Instead of asking you to browse what I already know, I ask you one question: what songs have meant something to you?

For example, you can start with your Spotify playlist, the song that was playing the first time you said, “I love you” or the artist nobody in your family has heard of but you’ve followed for eight years. You can share your playlist or title/artist with me.

If it exists as a recording, I can likely arrange it for violin. I’ve taken anime themes, film scores, K-pop ballads, and indie tracks — and made them into the moment couples remember twenty years later.

You don’t need to search my list because you don’t need to compromise before you’ve even asked.

You just need to send me the songs.
