Weddings
Choosing the right music for your wedding will create an atmosphere that you will always remember.
Our musicians can perform throughout your day, adapting to the moods of each part of your wedding, or you could choose to make one part of your day extra special with our accompaniment.
Here are some ideas, including a few repertoire suggestions.
Ceremony - civil or religious
Whether you are having a church service or civil ceremony our musicians can add a touch of class to the proceedings. If you would like your church service to be a little less traditional our musicians can perform instead of an organist, we can even accompany your hymns. To give your civil ceremony a more personal feel you could choose some special pieces of music to be played live by our musicians.
Imagine your guests’ delight as they arrive for your ceremony and hear beautiful music wafting from the church or ceremony room, setting a serene atmosphere while they await the arrival of the bridal party.
- Mozart/Haydn – divertimenti
- Elgar- Salut D’amour, Chanson de Matin
- Handel – Water music
The entrance of the bride is what everybody is waiting for. Create even more impact with our musicians accompanying that memorable walk down the aisle.
- Handel – Arrival of the queen of Sheba
- Pachelbel - Canon
Sustain the atmosphere during the signing of the register with a special piece of music.
- Van Morrison – Have I told you lately that I love you?
- Mozart – Romance from Eine Kleine Nacht Musik
- Delibes – Flower Duet
Drinks Reception
This is often thought of as the least interesting part of the day. The bridal party is often busy with the photographer and guests may be a little impatient waiting for the wedding breakfast. So why not keep your guests entertained with some popular classics performed by our musicians.
- Sullivan - Three Little Maids
- Ravel - Bolero
- Straus - Blue Danube Waltz
- Tchaikosky - Nutcracker Suite
- Gershwin - Summertime
The visual impact of a live ensemble creates a great focal point too.
Most of our musicians are able to perform outside for those summer drinks receptions on the lawn or terrace, this is of course weather permitting.
Wedding Breakfast
This is the point where your friends and family, who may never have met before, start getting to know each other. Live music can be a fantastic ice breaker and give your guests a talking point to help the conversation flow.
- Joplin - Rags
- Gershwin - The Man I Love
- Beatles - When I'm 64
- Porter - Pennies From Heaven
- Trad. - Irish Sherry
Our musicians will use their experience to gauge your guests’ mood and will provide music to suit the atmosphere without overpowering the conversation.
Evening Reception
The evening reception is one of the few occasions where young and old mix for a big celebration. Whilst it is wonderful to celebrate your marriage in this way with all of your friends and family, it is notoriously difficult to have the sort of evening to suit everybody. However, we have a solution for you. Instead of having a disco, why not choose one of our live bands? Choose between our Ceilidh band and our gypsy jazz band, either of which is guaranteed to get everyone’s toes tapping!
