These are the Must-Have Songs for a 1920s theme Wedding:

1. It Had to Be You (1924) – The perfect first dance
(which I sang to my wife at my own wedding)

2. Ain’t Misbehavin’ (1929) – Perfect for cocktail hour

3. The Charleston (1923) – Dance floor guaranteed

4. Always (1925) – A romantic waltz the composer wrote as a wedding present to his wife

Bonus Tip: Make it unforgettable with live jazz from Greg Poppleton and band of world-toured musicians — bringing 1920s glamour and charm to weddings across Australia.

All-round entertainer: Australia’s only authentic 1920s–1930s swing jazz singer; award-winning swing radio broadcaster, and film and TV actor.

Greg Poppleton has worked with Nicole Kidman, Adrien Brody and John Goodman.

TV roles include Mother & Son Season 2 (ABC), Barons (ABC), The Last Days of the Space Age (Disney +), Year Of (Stan), Caper Crew (ABC), The Peter Allen Story and many more.

Singer: my favourite music since childhood is 1920s - 1930s swing and jazz, so the authenticity comes from a lifetime of absorbing the style naturally.

Vocally trained by opera singer and NYC club owner, Steve Ostrow. Steve was trained by two of the greatest tenors of the 20th Century, Tito Schipa and Lauritz Melchior.

Steve launched the careers of Bette Midler and Barry Manilow, relaunched Peter Allen's career and booked such 1920s - 30s stars as Josephine Baker, Cab Calloway and Margaret Whiting.

Let your big day swing with timeless style.
