ACM New Male Artist of the Year Parker McCollum is getting married later this month, and he recently told People that he won’t be performing at his wedding — though if he could book his dream wedding singer, it’d be either George Strait or John Mayer.
It’s unknown whether George or John will be available for Parker’s nuptials, but there are plenty of country stars who do have a background in wedding gigs. For example, Brett Eldredge used to be a wedding DJ, and sometimes he’d sing, according to a 2016 interview with Entertainment Weekly. As one of country music’s most legendary crooners, Brett undoubtedly stole the show as a wedding emcee.
Jake Owen is a wedding singer of sorts, too: He sang his song, “Made for You,” at Carly Pearce’s wedding to fellow artist Michael Ray. That marriage didn’t last, but Jake’s love ballad is still a romantic choice for any couple’s first dance song — and if you can get the singer himself to boot, even better.
But perhaps the most romantic instance of a country star singing at a wedding was Blake Shelton’s performance of “We Can Reach the Stars,” which he sang as his wedding vows to Gwen Stefani. Held at Blake’s Oklahoma ranch at a chapel built just for the occasion, Blake and Gwen’s nuptials were romantic down to the last detail, and Blake’s sweet song for Gwen was the cherry on top.
