Southern Gospel



Last fall, we had a bride that wanted something unique and upbeat for her ceremony music. When trying to come up with a fun way to start her ceremony, we used a childhood story about the Pied Piper as inspiration for how to get her guests from the pre-ceremony cocktails out to the beach for the ceremony. But instead of a flute playing peasant, we hired an amazing gospel choir to arrive at the venue on foot. They approached the house in full song and led guests out onto the beach in a parade of clapping and excitement. When it was time for the bride to process, they started singing one of her favorite childhood songs, “This Little Light of Mine.” The bride wanted to avoid weepy classical music and to keep the ceremony as celebratory as possible. Mission accomplished!
