I LOVE that weddings are becoming totally customizable! Video games have some of the greatest music (partially why I’ve been a Zelda fan since elementary school!), and I love it when couples ask me to play video game music for their ceremonies or receptions. Below are 5 Video Game Soundtrack Songs that would be perfect for a wedding!

Great Fairy’s Fountain from The Legend of Zelda

If you know me personally, you know that I’ve been a huge fan of the Zelda games since I’ve been playing video games. Who else got their start on the N64 on the family TV? The Great Fairy’s Fountain theme is a perfect song to have during your ceremony as either a processional song or as a unity candle (or equivalent) song. I had the opportunity to perform this for the first time last fall for an outdoor wedding in front of a large fountain. How perfect is that??

Dearly Beloved from Kingdom Hearts

How can you not love this incredibly romantic song? It’s almost as though it was composed just for this occasion! 😉 I have personally played this for a bridal processional song and I had chills as the bride walked down the aisle. I think it’s a perfect song for a ceremony.

Littleroot Town from Pokémon: Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

When I was in kindergarten, the first Pokémon movie came out. I watched part of it with my mom and my little brother. I say part of it, because at one point in the movie, Mew and Mewtwo watch as Pokémon square off one on one, and then Ash DIES (or turns into stone forever, but I feel the end result is the same). My mother turned off the movie in horror and deemed Pokémon too violent for our age, and it wasn’t until years later that I heard that Ash was later brought back by the tears of the Pokémon. Why do I tell you this? Because it wasn’t until my tenth birthday that I was able to have any sort of Pokémon anything in my house again. I got my first Gameboy (renamed a Gamegirl because, why not) with Pokémon Sapphire and I put an embarrassing amount of hours into that game (don’t ask about the hours I put into the remake!). Any music from this game is special to me because it was the first Pokémon game I was allowed to play after watching my friends play for YEARS!

I think this song is peaceful and would make a great processional song for the parents and bridal party. Since the nature of this song is to repeat over and over again, it can be easily adapted for however long it takes for everyone to get down the aisle before it’s time for the bride to process.

From Past to Present from Skyrim

This is a song that we have in our repertoire but sadly don’t have a recording for yet, so what better thing to do than go right to the source? Skyrim has a beautiful soundtrack and this song would be a perfect addition to the prelude music before a fantasy-style wedding as guests arrive.

Rosalina’s Comet Observatory from Mario Galaxy

I was happy to find a recording of a string quartet playing this! I think that the Comet Observatory theme would be perfect to play as a recessional song. It would also be great to include in the prelude music before the wedding as guests arrive. I also feel that it doesn’t really stand out as a “video game” song, so if you’re trying to slip in the soundtrack songs discreetly, I think this is a great choice!

It can be hard to find video game sheet music, so I’m curious, what have you heard played before, and would you recommend it for a wedding? Post your comment below!!
