Processional/recessional Music from a Movie (just piano)

alexisdemetra, on January 21, 2018 at 3:24 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 9

Hi everyone!

A close friend of mine is a professional pianist and has offered to play during our ceremony at the wedding. When her and I started talking about what kind of music I'd walk down the aisle to, I figured it would be a classical song. She said that she can make almost any song classical and she's played things that range from top 40 to songs from movies. My FH and I are HUGE film buffs and we love the idea of finding a song from a movie we love.

We just have the piano player, not any strings to support her. There were a few I found I liked, but when I looked up the piano version on YouTube they felt weird without the strings. Any ideas?

    The Princess Bride is pretty classic and well liked by pretty much everyone. If you two watch lots of movies maybe pick the first one you saw together. The theme from Disney’s UP is almost exclusively on piano.

    I want my fiance to walk in to the Star Wars theme. Not sure how it would sound on the piano. But... yeah, we discussed it. Smiley smile

    Do you have a movie or two that speaks to you two? This is a great idea by the way. I am going to bring it up to my FH!

    We both love movies, but we have pretty different tastes. He loves intense dramas and war films, while I love comedies and action thrillers. Some of his favorites are Braveheart, Last of the Mohicans, Saving Private Ryan, etc. All with amazing scores! But I'm having trouble thinking of walking in to the very intense militaristic songs from those kinds of movies haha.

    And yay! I'm glad you're doing it too! I loved the idea of it too. A subtle way to have it be more personalized.

    I feel like I've said this song in just about ever post I've done related to music, but the Jurassic Park Theme is seriously one of the most beautiful songs. I listened to the Piano Guys version and immediately knew it was perfect for my day.

    I just listened to this on piano and it's gorgeous! It sounds like an entrance song (kind of etherial and light at first and then builds) and we loooove Star Wars. It brings it in without it being too cheesy. Thanks so much for the recommendation!
