Music for Your Wedding Day
Whether you're planning a big wedding or a small, intimate one, music can help create the right mood.
If you're getting married in the Bath / Somerset / Wilts area, we can help to make your wedding day really special.
We have a large and wide-ranging repertoire which allows us to offer a varied accompaniment throughout your wedding day.
The Ceremony
Whatever the mood you want to create, we can help you achieve it. We can provide you with a list of suggestions and a CD of samples from these.
We can also accompany a church service - a string quartet can add a richness of sound and of repertoire.
If the music you want isn't in our repertoire, we can usually arrange it specially for you.We'll liaise closely with you and the registrar/minister to ensure all runs smoothly.
We can keep your guests entertained while they await your arrival with, for example :-
- The Duet from the Pearl Fishers
- Elgar Chanson de Matin
- Meditation from Thais
- Barcarolle from the Tales of Hoffmann
- Bach Air on the G string
- Can't Help Falling in Love (Elvis)
- Someone to Watch over Me (Gershwin)
It also means you might like to be more adventurous with your choice of music.
Here are a few ideas from some of our past clients.- The Intermezzo from Cavallieria Rusticana for the bride's entrance
- The Flower Duet from Lakme for the signing of the register
- The Easter Hymn also from Cavallieria Rusticana for their exit
Kamini and Robin wanted music which was personal to them; we arranged specially for them :-
- From the Heart (Another Level) for the bride's entrance
- The Wedding Song (Kenny G) for the signing of the register
- I Do Cherish You (98 Degrees) for their exit
Fiona and Ian wanted to keep it a bit more traditional. For them we played :-
- The Mendelssohn Wedding March for the bride's entrance
- Pachelbel's Canon for the signing of the register
- The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba for their exit
Sasha and Guy wanted the best of both worlds. They decided on :-
- The Trumpet Voluntary for the bride's entrance
