Ceremony Suggestions

 
There is nothing that replaces live music on your special day. Live classical music adds warmth, beauty and a touch of style that your guests will be most impressed by while waiting for the big moment to begin! The combination of voice or flute and classical guitar can play all the traditional repertoire, and you will amazed at how ambient (yet not overpowering) a singer and guitarist are.

A typical church wedding ceremony may call for music at the following places:

The duo will create a warm ambience while your guests arrive during the Prelude (about 15 minutes before the ceremony begins) with a mixed selection of flute and classical guitar music.

When signalled by the official we will begin music for the bridal processional. There may be 2 pieces of music: one for the bridal party and one for the bride. One may feature Abha singing and one may be instrumental.

You may want music while you (or the bride and groom's mothers) light a unity candle creating an ambience for this symbolic moment. You may also want music to be playing if you are signing the official document publically.

There may be other places you would like music to be inserted during you ceremony (after readings, after reflections or prayers, etc). Don't hesitate, be creative!
