Bridal couples want to have current songs on the radio incorporated into their weddings. However, not every radio hit is perfect for every event of a wedding. This is when it is great to have instrumental hit wedding song versions.
According to the Dictionary, instrumental is music written for or performed on musical instruments not including singing. Popular instrumental songs include instruments such as guitar, piano, saxophone, and string quartets (commonly two violin players, a viola player, and a cellist).
