How to Customize Wedding Music with Orchestral Covers
When it comes to wedding music, many couples want the elegance of classical instruments and the personality of their favorite artists. The great news? You don’t have to choose one or the other.
Thanks to a growing number of modern musicians and ensembles, it’s now easier than ever to maintain that timeless orchestral sound while customizing your wedding day with songs you actually love—from Taylor Swift to The Beatles, Frank Sinatra to Coldplay.
