Ave MariaBeyoncé
When it comes to a songstress whose global fame and popularity are so great that an introduction as a former member of Destiny’s Child is unnecessary, it has to be Beyoncé.
“Ave Maria” is a classic choice for weddings and is usually performed in a classical style, but her version is also a hidden gem that I highly recommend.

Released in 2011.
It’s a song that straightforwardly expresses feelings of love to a girl who seems unsure of herself.
The rhythm is great and just listening to it boosts your mood.
It’s also a song that encourages you, saying you’re beautiful just as you are.
It’ll get you grooving and put you in an amazing mood!

Ellie Goulding’s translucent voice beautifully conveys deep affection and devoted emotion for her partner.
The exhilarating rush of falling in love and the unconditional trust in someone precious resonate through the beautiful melodic lines.
Released in January 2015 and widely talked about as the theme song for the film “Fifty Shades of Grey,” the track is also included on the album “Delirium.” It became a massive hit, topping the UK charts for four consecutive weeks.
Perfect for a wedding recessional, it creates a warmly celebratory atmosphere that brings the newlyweds and guests together as one.
