This CD is a perfect mix of songs that I can use for my wedding. There's a gorgeous Celtic version of the Wedding Song (which I love). My favorite is "Con Te Partiro" which I may use for my entrance as I walk down the aisle. This instrumental version is wonderful. "Sunrise Sunset" is amazing: it sounds so contemporary & yet so emotional. I think it's a great Father-Daughter dance (I will probably dance to that with my Grandfather). Another great alternative is "Because You Loved Me" and that's done beautifully too. I could go on and on. This is not just a typical group of love songs bunched together. There are classical pieces, beautifully played and orchestrated (including one of the best versions of "Here Comes the Bride" I've heard), great new songs for a unity candle ceremony, cutting the cake, first dance etc. (Everyone I know is in love with "At Last", sung by Etta James and that's on the album too). I really love this very special collection of wedding music. Even the booklet that comes with it is special. It gives you great ideas on how to use the music. If I could buy only one great wedding CD, this would be the one.

I bought this album to play in my home for our wedding vow renewal. My husband's family hails from Scotland, so the unique Celtic production of The Wedding Song was our immediate choice for processional. It was the only song we used. I personally loved Etta James' "At Last". The rest of the album was strictly average. A couple of songs were written for the afternoon soap opera "The Guiding Light". These were really cheesy. I'd rather loan it to a friend than encourage them to buy it.

I'm not sure why anyone would be interested in this item. If you're looking for original, out-of-the-ordinary songs for a wedding, then it's not appropriate, because most of the recorded songs are the classics. If you're looking for great new renditions of the classics, look elsewhere -- the ones here are cheaply produced. The book contains a list of songs, but then again that information could be found on the web or provided by any DJ. There are a couple of songs on the CD you might not otherwise think of, but they're too cheesy, at least for my taste.

I received "Set Your Weding to Music" as an engagement gift. When I played the CD I was swept away by the classic and elegant selections and the rich beautifully orchestrated selections presented in this CD gem.
We had already decided to use live music throughout our wedding. We changed our minds and interlaced selections from the CD such as "The Wedding Song" and "Pachelbel's Canon in D-1" for the prelude. For the processional we used the instrumental "Conte Partiro" and of course the beautifully arranged "Bridal Chorus" for my walk down the aisle.
In addition to our band we played some of the lovely and romantic love songs during the reception.
We really feel this CD added a warm and loving mood to our wedding. I highly recommend this classic CD to anyone planning a wedding, any style, any place, anywhere.

I am a newly wed groom and we enjoyed this CD so much, I wanted to come back and give it a plug! I can't say enough good things about it. It's anything but elevator music!!! We took the advice on the CD booklet and played THE WEDDING SONG before the ceremony and it was amazing. Everybody was moved. We used CONTI PARTIRO for the processional and that record sounded like Andrea Bocelli himself was going to start singing any minute. That's how great that instrumental sounded. By the time we played CHAPEL OF LOVE, right after the ceremony, when we were walking back down the aisle, the music had everyone out of their seats applauding. It was great. AS for the other songs, SUNRISE SUNSET is real contemporary, like Sting himself arranged it, and COMING HOME is as fine a song as I've heard anywhere. We owe our thanks for this great wedding music CD.

After reading the reviews on this CD I took a chance and purchased one.
The classical music was at best bad and the other songs did not have the original artists except Etta James singing At Last which is on many CDs.
Just wanted to warn anyone considering this CD to save your money there are other CDs with much better music for less.

Excellent music variety for a wedding. This CD provides all the variety I need for my entire wedding, beginning to end.

I am so happy I will be able to use this cd in my upcoming wedding.

I ordered this CD for use in my daughter's wedding. The music is so calm and relaxing that I play it at night while I'm going to sleep. So many of the songs just strike a chord in me and I love the CD for so many reasons.

I loved this CD. And its definately cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else I looked. It has some beautiful wedding music that you would enjoy on your special day.
