I adore when couples let the music take center stage to reflect their personalities! Marcus and Rachel went all out and threw a festival of a wedding! Hand picking certain songs to highlight their day, the playlist reflects a variety of awesome tunes. From Motown, to indie, old blues to White Stripes – there was a song for every step! To share their love for music, Rachel and Marcus hand crafted a mix CD favor that included all of the music from their big day.
