Using DJ for Ceremony - Instrumental versions of popular songs?

I am trying to figure out what songs to use during my ceremony. I am using a DJ and I don't want to use only classical music. Do DJs have instrumental songs of popular tunes? I am using Tommy's Tunes for the ceremony.

TIA

We felt the same way about using classical music, so we went the non-traditional way.

But we picked songs that were written as instrumentals ... except for the recessional song.



We used:

Seating of Guests: Forrest Gump Suite' – Alan Silvestri

Processional - BP: 'Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness' – Smashing Pumpkins

Processional - Bride: 'Three Flights Up' – Yellowcard

Recessional: 'Love & Memories' – O.A.R.

We also used mostly non-traditional songs during our ceremony, but we had a family friend playing piano. We used:

'The Wedding Song' by Kenny G for the parents, bridal party procession
'Bless the Broken Road' by Rascal Flatts for bride procession
'Crazy Love' by Van Morrison for the unity candle
and 'I'll Stand by You' by The Pretenders for our recessional

We used classical music for our processional, but for the recessional we used 'Beautiful Day' but U2. Love that song!

I had a DJ, didn't use classical per say

Parents: Over The Rainbow; 50 1st dates version (can never remember that guys name!)
BP: Only Time; Enya
Me: Ava Maria; Charlotte Church version

I felt the same way, didn't want slassical, wanted just instrumental, but ended up going with these.

Ask your DJ as well. Tommy's Tunes might have instrumentals on hand, or the ability to strip the vocals from the tracks you want.
