As an ensemble, we attend several weddings each year. That said, it is amazing how different every single wedding actually is. Each is a reflection of the particular couple, of their cultures, tastes, and ultimately, them.
After spending time with our clients discussing musical preferences, genres, and their musical selections, it is always exciting to see how each wedding comes together.
This past weekend we played for a wedding at the Vail Interfaith Chapel which had a very interesting, fun twist.
While the ceremony was very traditional, an underlying motif also emerged. The prelude consisted of Handel's Water Music interlaced with various Beatles tunes. The family and attendants entered to Pachebel's Canon, and the bride entered to Wagner's 'Wedding March.' While this is a traditional wedding piece, this may have been only the second bride we've worked with to use this piece.
Upholding tradition, as the unity candles were lit, we accompanied the groom's mother as she beautifully sang Schubert's 'Ave Maria.'
As the ceremony concluded, the bride and groom exited the church to 'All You Need Is Love,' and we continued to play Beatles tunes as the guests exited and greeted the couple after wards.
It was great to see everything fall into place. We enjoyed the novelty of playing some not so traditional wedding music for this beautiful wedding.
