Amo Soltanto
This original song is wedding perfection since it was written in English by no other than Ed Sheeran—another favorite of mine when it comes to romantic music for one of the biggest days in your life.
Ed Sheeran and his brother Matt composed “I Only Love You,” which got translated into Italian for Andrea Bocelli to record as perfect wedding music.
“Amo Soltanto” makes a beautiful bridal processional at a formal wedding ceremony, and check out our guide for capturing the best wedding photos in a church!
Perfect Symphony
Andrea also recorded a symphonic version of Ed Sheeran’s hit song, “Perfect.”
Their duet begins with Ed singing in English and Andrea singing in gorgeous Italian with orchestral backup.
The mid-temp is great for a ceremony recessional or a waltz-type first dance at your reception.
Can’t Help Falling in Love
Andrea performed a stunning rendition of Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” live when Kourtney Kardashian married Travis Barker in Italy.
I couldn’t find a studio version of this song performed by Andrea Bocelli, but if you’re hiring a wedding singer for your ceremony, this version is a fantastic choice!
Ave Maria
Andrea collaborated with David Foster on piano when he recorded a stirring version of “Ava Maria.”
This is the perfect soundtrack to your wedding ceremony, ideally when you sign the wedding register.
Fall On Me
This stunning original song is a vocal and piano duet between Andrea and his son Matteo Bocelli, with Matteo singing in English and Andrea in Italian.
Andrea said that any loving parent can grasp the meaning of “Fall On Me,” we think this song is perfect for a parent-child or family dance at your reception.
The Power of Love
American singer-songwriter Jennifer Rush co-wrote and cut “The Power of Love” in 1984, and superstars, including Celine Dion, have covered the song.
Andrea recorded his tenor version of “The Power of Love” for his self-titled album, Bocelli, and we think it’s the best version of the song for the first dance at your wedding.
The Prayer
David Foster and Carole Bayer Sager co-wrote “The Prayer,” and Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion recorded separate versions.
But Celine and Andrea realized that blending their voices on “The Prayer” would be extra special, and their duet is considered the best and most romantic version for the first dance at your wedding.
Time to Say Goodbye
Andrea’s duet with famed operatic actress Sarah Brightman on “Time to Say Goodbye” became a huge hit.
In Italian, the song title is “Con te partirò,” which means “I’ll leave with you,” we think it’s a great way to end your wedding reception!
Amazing Grace
Andrea released his 17th studio album, Believe, in November 2020, and he covered the 18th-century hymn “Amazing Grace” with backup vocals by country bluegrass superstar Allison Krauss.
This “Amazing Grace” version is ideal for any part of your rustic wedding ceremony!
You’ll Never Walk Alone
Andrea’s version of the classic Broadway song, “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” is also on the Believe album.
This song means a lot to Andrea; he said that “You’ll Never Walk Alone” has helped him through difficult times. Andrea’s version makes a beautiful parent-child or family dance at your reception!
