Your wedding day is one of the most special moments of your life, and the music you choose can set the vibe for unforgettable memories. As a professional wedding violinist for over 20 years and a preferred SF City Hall violinist, I know how the right song can elevate every moment—from walking down the aisle to celebrating during a first dance. Here are some of the most requested acoustic violin covers that are perfect for a modern, custom wedding playlist.

1. Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley

This timeless classic remains a favorite for weddings. Its romantic melody is even more enchanting as a violin cover, often chosen for the processional or the first dance. If you’re looking for a song that feels like pure magic, this one’s a winner.

2. Hermoso Cariño by Vicente Fernández

Adding personal flair to your big day? “Hermoso Cariño” is a heartfelt ballad that sounds stunning (and imrpessive!) on the violin. It’s perfect for creating a festive and emotional atmosphere during your ceremony or while guests mingle.

3. Daylight by Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift’s “Daylight” is a modern favorite for couples who want to infuse their day with warmth and positivity. An acoustic violin cover of this track creates an uplifting, dreamy vibe—ideal for the recessional, perhaps!

4. Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish

For couples who love something unique and soulful, “Birds of a Feather” is a standout choice. Its mellow yet captivating melody translates beautifully to the violin, making it a great option for the pre-ceremony or a slow dance.

5. Lover by Taylor Swift

Another hit from Taylor Swift, “Lover” is an undeniably romantic choice. Its gentle rhythm and wedding day references make it a perfect accompaniment for your first dance as newlyweds.

6. Perfect by Ed Sheeran

“Perfect” is a modern classic that’s made for weddings. A violin rendition of this song adds elegance and emotion, whether it’s played during your walk down the aisle or as a serenade during dinner.

7. You Are the Reason by Calum Scott

This emotional ballad resonates deeply with couples. An acoustic violin cover of “You Are the Reason” can create a touching moment for the ceremony or even a father-daughter dance.

8. A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

Ever since it was featured in Twilight: Breaking Dawn, “A Thousand Years” has been a staple for weddings. Its enduring message of love and devotion is even more enchanting when played on the violin.

9. All My Life by K-Ci & JoJo

This iconic R&B ballad is a heartfelt expression of everlasting love. A violin cover of “All My Life” adds an elegant touch to your wedding, making it ideal for a recessional or a meaningful moment during the ceremony.

10. Best Part by Daniel Caesar featuring H.E.R.

“Best Part” is a soulful and modern R&B/Neo Soul hit that resonates deeply with couples (and it's one of my very favorites!). Its smooth melody translates beautifully to the violin, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere for your special day.

Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Music

When planning your playlist, keep these tips in mind:

  • Reflect Your Style: Pick songs that resonate with your personality and relationship.

  • Set the Tone: Whether you want a romantic, playful, or elegant atmosphere, music can make it happen.

  • Balance the Energy: Blend sentimental tunes with upbeat tracks to keep your guests engaged and the mood dynamic.
