Most bride and grooms have a clear idea of what their wedding album should look like.

Here are some tips and suggestions for wedding video songs that we know you’ll love for the most important movie of your life!

Soul and R&B music is peaceful, romantic, soul-inspiring music that wraps any event up in a blanket of warm, musical sounds. R&B music has so many classics from artists like Boys2Men and Whitney Houston. R&B is best suited for smaller venues with a more intimate feeling to them. Whether you want to keep it chilled with a low-tempo set, or get everyone up and moving, Jazz is the music that can suit any reception and leave everyone feeling inspired, happy and enthusiastic.
