Spruce Saddle - Beaver Creek




Today we are played for a local wedding at Spruce Saddle, at the top of Beaver Creek. One of the unique elements of this wedding is that the wedding party (including the bride) arrived via the chairlift.

As we began, we had a short window of prelude. In relation to the setting, the couple's musical choices were very fitting. We started with "Edelweiss", and then followed with Handel's "Air", "Andante", and "Allegro" from the Water Music.

The ceremony then began with the wedding party entering to Mozart's "Romanze" from Eine Kline Nacht Musik. The bride then exited the chairlift and entered to Pachebel's "Canon". After a beautiful ceremony, the couple walked back down the aisle to the Beatle's, "Here Comes The Sun". As guests mingled and photos were taken, we finished up with several postlude pieces.

This was a magnificent venue and a gorgeous day!
