I need input from other videographers!

Audio

No, I am not a videographer but getting married this coming June in Canada. We are eloping, hired our elopement company and all seemed dandy. We’ve hit a bump, to 98% of people this is going to seem insanely minor but I’ve had a vision for probably 10+ years and music is INCREDIBLY important to me (specifically movie scores, for both my partner and I). For our wedding video I was only notified after the fact that we could only choose a song from Lickd.co. I’ve had a list of about 10 different movie score songs, none of which are on there. Now another insanely important note is we are not allowing our footage or film to be used for marketing content (safety reasons, long trauma dumpy story), and we aren’t even planning on posting the video ourselves (we collectively post on socials maybe once a year). So if this is the case is the music licensing truly an issue?? Because now that we are already in I’ll have to pay them an extra $600 for the raw footage and then go pay someone else to do it. I’m frustrated this came up after the fact and I cannot emphasize the importance of this to me. It’s the one thing I’ve been a stickler about the entire planning process - the music. I’ve had a reception playlist in the works since we started dating - we initially were planning a traditional wedding and the first thing I did was figure out music for every aspect of the day. I really need some input because I’m actively losing my mind
