It can be tempting to want to use your favourite song in your wedding video, unfortunately the cost to licence the use of popular songs is cost prohibitive for us mere mortals.

If you have your heart set on a particular song and have extremely deep pockets, to the tune of tens of thousands of £££ to licence the song, we can probably make that happen.

For the vast majority of us, we need to licence our music from lesser know, yet still amazing artists. You aren’t resigned to dreaded elevator music though. There are many artists out there, covering a wide variety of genres, who licence their music at a much more palatable rate. This licence fee is included in the cost for your wedding film.

If you have a preference for a particular pop song, we can try and find an alternative song in the same genre that makes the wedding film feel more “you”.
