Background music on your wedding website is a perfect way to set the tone for your wedding right from the start. So turn on your volume, and let's listen to some example pieces of music which could work for your wedding website. 

Music for the traditional wedding

If you plan a very traditional wedding, you can chose a piece of music which reflects this. For a traditional wedding, the gentle notes of piano music are ideal. You can listen to an example of this on our 'Roses' theme wedding website:

The track you just heard is the default background music which comes on all our wedding themes. 

How do I include something more upbeat?

If you intending having a wedding which is more modern, and perhaps less traditional, a more lively/upbeat tune helps communicate to your guests the theme of your wedding - directly from the moment they arrive at your wedding website. For example, maybe you are a huge Take That fan, and you want to play their music on your wedding website, but prefer your wedding website not to sound like like iTunes! The good news is there is a compromise. Using Soundcloud.com you can easily search and locate cover tracks of piano/violin music of your typical charts/billboard artist. Here is a beautiful example of Take That's 'Rule The world' as covered by Eliana Rodríguez on the piano:

Or perhaps you are a Robbie Williams fan and you want 'Angels' as your background track. Here is another example from Soundcloud.com covering this track on the piano:

How do I add music to my wedding website?

Firstly, as mentioned all wedding themes at Ourbigdayinfo.com come with a default piano background track. If you would like to add your own background music it is very simple. Within the form (the form which is used when you 'Choose your Theme') you can specify both the artist and track you wish to use on your wedding website. Your music is then sourced and added to your wedding website. If you happen to locate a track on soundcloud.com, simply click their 'Share' button, then copy the URL which appears on screen. Paste this URL into the 'Track' section of the form which is used when you 'Choose your Theme' at Ourbigdayinfo.com.

Good luck with whatever background music you pick. If you have any questions on including music on your wedding website, please feel free to email us here info@ourbigdayinfo.com and we'll be delighted to help you!
