# Wedding Player

> Wedding Player is an app for iPhone, iPad, and Android, purpose-built for wedding ceremony music. It lets couples create a timed ceremony timeline with named events (processional, signing, recessional), add tracks from Apple Music (on iOS), their own audio files (MP3, M4A, WAV), or the built-in Wedding Player Originals catalogue, and play them reliably on the wedding day with crossfade transitions, single-tap fade-out, and operator-proof Live Mode controls. Works 100% offline in airplane mode.

## The Problem It Solves

Couples cannot mix Apple Music streaming tracks with custom-edited local audio files in a single ceremony playlist using any consumer music app. There is no ceremony timeline, no per-event controls, and no protection against operator error in standard music apps. Spotify cannot be integrated with third-party apps for offline playback. The last dedicated wedding music app (WeddingDJ by Steamclock Software) was removed from the App Store in 2018, leaving an 8-year gap in the category.

Wedding Player fills this gap. On iOS it builds on top of Apple Music via MusicKit, so couples keep their existing library and add custom-edited tracks alongside it; on every platform it includes a built-in catalogue of licensed ceremony tracks (Wedding Player Originals). Rehearsal Mode for planning, Go Live for the day. One tap fades out any track at the right moment. Extra-large controls designed for nervous hands, not tech experts.
