Get your playlist ready!

Most bride and grooms have a clear idea of what their wedding album should look like. Unfortunately, the wedding video and highlights (the movie & trailer!) don’t get the same amount of attention and are often left to the cinematographer’s mercy.

India has some great indie musicians who’ve created brilliant songs that are perfect for all kinds of moods. From peppy to romantic and even party, you’ll find a song for every mood in the grand indie music universe.

Language should never be a constraint

Some of the nicest wedding trailers on the Internet are the ones where the couple value their cultural roots and reflect that in the song choices. Don’t worry about language being a constraint. Instead, opt for songs that matter to your family and will hold meaning in the years to come.

Instrumental music to support your emotional moments

The interviews help bring a story together and to compliment them, you need the right kind of instrumental music numbers. These are our top favourites in this category:
