Choose your own music
Deciding on which pieces to choose for your ceremony and drinks reception is a supremely personal choice and you will want pieces that have special meaning to your relationship, or carry a message that you wish to deliver to others on your special day. The duration of each piece is not a concern when planning your service. Most quartet pieces are between three and five minutes long and thus fit perfect within each section. Otherwise most classical music contains repeats or recurring phrases which sound excellent if attenuated at a cadence point. For example Pachelbel’s Canon is based on a cyclical baseline which means we can always time the bridal entry to perfection! We take our cues directly or by liaising with the Priest or Celebrant prior to the ceremony, so there is no input needed from you on the day. Catholic ceremonies may differ in the wedding ceremony format as laid out below.
Wedding Day
We can supply you with separate prices for each part of your wedding day. The parts are:
Wedding Ceremony | Beautiful background music while your guests are arriving, during your entrance, the signing of the register & exit. We also add a stunning addition to your wedding photos. |
Drinks Reception | A livelier mix of music to suit the setting as your guests raise their glasses to celebrate the Bride & Groom! |
Wedding Breakfast | As is fitting for your meal, we perform more relaxed background music to create a special atmosphere. |
