Weddings

Here are the most common parts of a wedding we will provide music for. We understand that every ceremony is unique, and we will work with you during your initial consultation to ensure that your musical needs are met. (We also have music available for Jewish weddings--visit our repertoire page here to view the rest of our library.)

1. Prelude
Typically our musicians begin playing 20 minutes of background music as the guests are being seated, before the processional begins and the bride arrives. We can choose appropriate selections as needed, or perform any specific music you would like to request at this time.
