Song selection comes down to your taste and what songs really speak to you individually and as a couple, but here are some guidelines to help get your juices flowing... For the Ceremony, there are three main songs to consider:  Processional - the most important moment when the Bride walks down the aisle Signing - the longest musical interlude, we'll stretch out the song if need be Recessional - conclusion music, usually short and upbeat Traditional choices, Classic song choices,Pop song choices...all work. What songs speak to you? First Dance possibilities are endless but base it on your ideal tempo and skill level. 

Of course we've adapted all sorts of songs so don't feel limited by genre. If you're a Kate Bush fan, dig Rick Astley or INXS, we'll make the song perfect for the moment :-) Please reference our repertoire for further ideas.

Hi there,

The most popular request I have is Pachebel's Canon. It's so beautiful performed live on strings :)

This can be a very personal choice of the bride, and apart from the popular classics such as the Bridal Chorus and Pachebels Canon in D, the bride can choose any song she feels she would love to make her entry with - I have played the Beach Boys, A Thousand Years, Back Street Boys, Ed Sheeran, Clair de Lune, Beauty and the Beast, Jesu Joy of Mans Desiring, the Arrival of the Queen of Sheba to name just a few. All happy to discuss options
