Best 25 Diana Krall Songs For Your Wedding Playlist

Live at the Gaillard Center downtown in Charleston, SC, it's world renown jazz pianist and singer, Diana Krall. Billboard magazine named her one of the best selling jazz artists of her time. She's at the top of the modern jazz musician class. Her voice is very rich and sensual, and in my humble opinion one of the best in history out of all female jazz musicians. I am giving Diana some time on my blog this weekend because her music would go perfectly at a black-tie Charleston wedding down at the Hibernian Hall or the historic Gadsden House, or even the Governor Thomas Bennett House. If you are just hitting my website and blog for the first time, welcome!  As one of the best Charleston Wedding DJs, if you aincorporating other jazz musicians into your Charleston wedding playlist is something you are interested in, you might check back at an earlier post from a few weeks ago about my smooth and sexy like silk jazz cocktail hour for Charleston weddings as well. It's only a few posts back behind this one.

Diana was a graduate of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and then went west to LA to begin her jazz career. In 1996, she released an album completely dedicated to the late Nat King Cole and his trio. At the end of 2001, she embarked on a world tour and created her first "live" record. On this record, she covered Billy Joel's Number 1 hit on the Easy Listening charts, "Just The Way You Are", as well as the Joni Mitchell song, "A Case Of You".

In late 2003, Diana married Elvis Costello, and she has also sang and worked with other great musicians and artists like Ray Charles, Barbara Streisand, Paul McCartney, and Tony Bennett. She also sang the classic song "Fly Me To The Moon" back in 2012 during the funeral and service of astronaut Neil Armstrong. As tonight unfolds, we're just 4 short days away from Valentine's Day. The Charleston engagement seasons is still going strong. An evening with Diana Krall would be perfect tonight for the couple who is looking for a wonderful romantic night out on the town in beautiful Charleston after dinner at one of Charleston's finest restaurants.   Enjoy this listing of some of Diana's finest songs that you might also consider adding in for a classy and romantic cocktail hour or dinner music portion for your Charleston wedding DJ playlist.

And this crush that you have on one another is why you are saying your I-Do's.  When i heard this song, I envisioned a bride and groom socializing during dinner and were on opposite sides of the venue speaking with guests.
