Live vocalist during wedding ceremony

[brownsugarbride]

One of the reasons that I wrote off a destination wedding (at first) was because I always thought I'd have a vocalist at my wedding, and I figured that would be difficult in a place that I didn't know.  Well, I'm thinking about it again and wondering if anyone has used a live soloist in your RM destination.  They'd have to be GOOD, as I come from a musical family! I'm trying to think creatively (music schools, etc.).  I wouldn't mind a song in Spanish (though everyone there doesn't speak it), though I'd prefer something in English.  Some ideas for songs that I have to walk down the aisle to or have sung during the ceremony accompanied by acoustic guitar:

 

Adele-Feel My Love (or the George Harrison version)

 

Jennifer Hudson-You Pulled Me Through

 

Glenn Jones-In You

I'm open to other songs..but am I asking too much here?  Is this even more than a remote possibility? If I could pull this off, that would really make this a dream event for me.

Why don't you just bring a vocalist with you. Check this song out as well.....Shelah..I'm Sure Its You....

Well, the issue is that I'm already planning to fly down my photographer. I'm not sure budget-wise if I can make it work but I may just try! Thanks!

My other suggestion would be is to get your vocalist to just record what you want sung ,then play at ceremony...Just a thought...

LOL..my cousin said the same thing! I come from a musical family but I want them to be relaxing and having a good time. (My mom sings and plays and directs choir, but she has said in the past even before I got engaged that she'll be too busy looking cute to want to work at my wedding, and I feel the same way!)  I do sing, but I haven't sung in a long time and don't want to add an extra layer of stress onto my nerves.

Hey Ladies,

 

I'm not sure if this is the style you are looking for, but my ALL TIME favorite live singer down here is Mike Grabow!  He plays a lot of Jack Johnson /  Jason Mraz type stuff as well as his own originals.  Hope you enjoy!  Check out his website for more videos: MIKE GRABOW.

 

 

Happy Planning!
