Suggested Music for Wedding Ceremonies/Services

This needs to be a piece that allows the musicians to stop at any given point during the music.

Bridal Chorus (from Lohengrin) Wagner

Arrival of The Queen of Sheba Handel

Canon in D Pachelbel

Rondo (theme used in - Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra) Purcell

Air (from the Water Music) Handel

Air (from the Suite in D) (also know as Air on a G string) Bach

Trumpet Tune Purcell

Trumpet Voluntary Clarke

Wedding March Mendelssohn

Signing of the Register

At this point the guests often start to talk amongst themselves, so the music will become more background. For most Weddings the musicians would normally play 2-3 classical pieces, however you can choose almost any piece from our repertoire list if you wish. 

Various movements from The Four Seasons Vivaldi

Any slow movement from the String Quartets Mozart

Brandenburg Concerto No.3 (complete) Bach

Flower Duet (used in the British Airways advert) Delibes

Canon in D Pachelbel

Nessun Dorma Puccini

Greensleeves Traditional

Polotsvian Dances (Prince Igor) Borodin

Romance (from the Gadfly) Shostakovich

Minuet (used in the Lady Killers film) Boccherini

Recessional

This piece should be more uplifting than the music chosen for the signing of the register. Again, the musicians would normally play another classical piece at this point, however you can choose almost any piece from our repertoire list.
