When planning your marriage proposal, you want to make it most memorable. But to do so, you are going to need to consider certain important inclusions. One of which, is the inclusion of music. When we consult with our clients we always recommend having a song specially designated for the proposal process. Music not only help setup a romantic mood, but it also helps to create that memory.
How to choose the right song for your marriage proposal? Here are 5 ideas of what to choose:
1. Your favourite song
Maybe you are one of those couples, who actually have a song that represents your relationship. If you do, that’s wonderful because you should know exactly what to use.
2. The song that was playing when you met
Very often we have couples who met at a party. This can make your choice of music easier as you can play that special song plus the album of the artist. For example, we had a couple from the USA, who loved Kes the band music and even travelled to Trinidad to attend the Kes the Band Concert, so we hired a pannist to play their favorite Kes the band songs during the proposal.
3. That song she has on repeat
Pay attention to what she listens to in the car and at home. Very often your fiancee-to-be will get obsessed over a song and play it again and again, so this is your chance to detect that song and include it in the proposal.
4. Grab hints from her Instagram Feed
Listen to the songs featured in the romantic Instagram reels and TikToks she shares with you. These could provide great inspiration for finding the perfect song for your marriage proposal
5. Choose a classic romance
If you really don’t know, which song to choose, go with the classic love song. But make sure you look through the lyrics and choose the one that better represents your relationship. If you need help read on for some suggestions. We made a list just for you!
What is the best way to play the music on your proposal?
So you’ve chosen the perfect song and now you need to decide if you want to have a musician playing the song, or play over the speaker.
We always recommend going for a live musician, when you proposing in a quiet, private environment. A violin or saxophone player will be perfect for the candlelight heart of love marriage proposal. Or you can go with the pannist player, who can play and if desired sing the song. In order to enjoy this musical treat to the fullest, we suggest you secure a private venue for your proposal.
If you’re planning to have friends and family witness the proposal, it may be better to have music playing over the speakers. It’s not a secret, that family members get very emotional at events like this, so most likely they all will be very busy congratulating and talking to each other than paying much attention to the music. So it will be nice to have background music, just for the mood.
