What music works best for wedding videos?
Warm, emotional, mostly instrumental music at a slow or mid tempo — piano, strings and acoustic guitar are the instruments that recur most. Vocals compete with speeches and vows, so instrumental tracks are the safer default for anything with dialogue underneath.
The mood labels that fit this scene in our catalogue are romantic, warm, emotional, nostalgic and hopeful. Those are real filter values, not adjectives chosen for this page — you can search by any of them directly.
Should a wedding video use one track or several?
Several, in most cases. A wedding film moves through distinct emotional sections — preparation, ceremony, speeches, first dance, party — and a single track held across all of them either overpowers the quiet parts or undersells the loud ones.
This is the specific problem AI Soundtrack is built for: it reads the video, splits it into sections, and matches each section separately, then times the changes to the cuts rather than to a fixed interval. You can still swap any individual choice afterwards.
Can I use this music for a wedding I was paid to film?
Yes, but you need the Commercial licence, not Personal. Filming a wedding for a client is paid work, and the Personal licence explicitly does not cover revenue-generating activity — that boundary is about your work being paid for, not about how the video is shared afterwards.
Licences are per track, purchased once, with no attribution required and no recurring fee. If a film uses four tracks, that is four licences.
Is there a "wedding" category in the library?
No — and it is worth knowing why before you go looking for one. The catalogue classifies tracks by genre, mood, instrument and use case, and its use-case list has no wedding value; the nearest are "event highlight" and "event opening".
So a wedding search runs as an ordinary search over the whole catalogue rather than as a category filter. In practice you get better results describing the moment — "quiet piano for vows", "warm strings first dance" — than searching the word wedding on its own.
What to look for in the library
These are the catalogue's own categories, not descriptions we invented for this page — each value below is one you can filter by directly.
| Mood | romanticwarmemotionalnostalgichopefulpeaceful |
|---|---|
| Instrument | pianostringsacousticguitarorchestral |
| Genre | cinematicclassicalfolkambient |
| Vocal | instrumental Instrumental keeps the vocals out of the way of vows and speeches. |
| Tempo | slowmid The catalogue groups tempo into slow / mid / fast / very fast rather than exposing a BPM figure. |
| Use case | event highlightevent opening The closest values that exist — there is no wedding use case. |
Every value above is drawn from the catalogue’s own taxonomy, so each one is something you can actually filter or search by.
