We’ve covered a lot of types of popular wedding music over the past year, including 80s songs, 90s jams, and even alternative first dance songs.  However, as evidenced by every Star Wars or Game of Thrones wedding, there is a growing subset of wedding themes that are gearing towards the geeky.  And just like any good theme, music should play a huge role in it.

We’re pretty big fans of The Vitamin String Quartet, who have released over 200 tribute albums and happen to have a huge collection of material available on Spotify.  They also have two “Geek Wedding Compilations“:
