Custom Ceremony Music

Walk my way,
and a thousand violins begin to play . . .

Personal Consultations

Together we will find your perfect music for the prelude, seating of mothers, entrance of the bridesmaids, and YOU! Then we will plan the music to play for candle lighting and all ceremony rituals that require orchestration. Finally, we select the grand music for your recessional as you walk out as a newly married couple!

The process of choosing your music is easy. And it's a lot of fun!

Ceremony Design
All ceremonies are unique. They also have elements which are common. These include: Prelude music as guests arrive, Processional music for the bridal party, Ceremony music where needed throughout the ceremony, Recessional music as the newly married couple are introduced for the first time as husband and wife, and Postlude music as guests exit.

Prelude
My groups always arrive EARLY and ready to PLAY! We provide continuous music from the moment the first guest arrives.

Processional

We choose special pieces of music to orchestrate each event:

Seating of Mothers, Bridesmaids Entrance, and Your Bridal Processional.
Since your processional piece is the most important one, we select it first

Ceremony
Music enhances every special component of your wedding, including lighting of a Unity Candle, Communion, or any ritual you may have.

Recessional
This piece is joyful and grand, for it signifies your presentation for the first time as husband and wife.

Postlude
As with the prelude, my groups provide continuous music until the last guest has exited. You may want to allow guests to simply leave, or you may want to greet and release them row by row. In either case, they will depart to joyful music.

I will be happy to provide strolling violin music for your cocktail hour at no additional fee if your ceremony is at the same location as your reception.
