Choosing the music for your wedding can be an enjoyable, but frustrating experience. For most people, finding music they like isn't the problem, but rather narrowing down your list to what is practical for your wedding day. Whether you choose music that is classical and traditional or with a contemporary flair, only you can see what you want in your head, so the more you can explain what the feel of your wedding is, your venue and the mood, the more I can assist you in selecting literature that best compliments your service.
Below are suggested selections to make your wedding both memorable and unique. It does not encompass all of my repertoire, but its a good start. I have quite a varied literature from which to choose for seating of the guest, seating of family members, entrance of bridesmaids and/or groomsmen and of the entrance of the betrothed as well as dinner or reception selections. The selections listed below are the more popular music I have used for weddings in the past. You are certainly welcome to request songs not on this list; however, requests may or may not incur additional charges. (It never hurts to ask!)
Keep in mind your venue when selecting music. Some churches may have restrictions on types of music that may be used for church weddings. Consult with the church representative about this before making any final decisions.
