Our repertoire is suitable for church ceremonies, civil ceremonies and blessings. We can help select appropriate music for the moment your guests arrive, the ceremony and signing of the register - not forgetting the bride’s entrance! - through to the reception and Wedding Breakfast. We are also happy to accompany an instrumental or vocal soloist during the ceremony.

We are often asked to arrange specific pieces that have special meaning to the bride and groom; often to play during the signing of the register. Whether that’s an opera aria, some trad jazz, a movie theme or top ten hit, we can help advise you about suitability, practicality and of course do out best to bring your ideas to fruition. So, please do ask about our arrangement services.

To help with your planning we have listed below some popular suggestions to get you started. All these pieces are in our current repertoire.
