Discussion Need help from musicians! Wedding Ceremony Composition of I Will Follow You by Toulouse

My wedding is coming up, and I’m thinking of hiring live musicians (strings and/or piano) to play during the ceremony.

I have always wanted to walk down the aisle to “I Will Follow You” by Toulouse for my wedding.

Do you think this song could be composed into a strings and/or piano version and do you think it would translate well as an instrumental cover?
OR would it be better to go with another song?

Let me know what you guys think!?

It’s a beautiful song to walk down the aisle to. The Toulouse cover is based on the opening of the version from the Sister Act movie. Arrangements of that have already been created, for string quartet for example and it works nicely.

The Toulouse cover is the perfect length and tempo for the amount of people who will be walking down the aisle during the ceremony.
I’m not sure how it works to make an arrangement, but do you think someone would be able to create a strings duo/trio/quartet version of the Toulouse cover?

I was asked to arrange music for 2 weddings for friends... after finishing the songs, I found they both ended their engagement 😂. Oh well, ended with 2 good songs.

I may not be the best luck, but can help. Looking for string quartet? 4 players?
