We had the honor of accompanying the bride's uncle, vocalist Bob Hansen as he performed Schubert's "Ave Maria", and Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up" during the ceremony.
As the guests were being seated, we played selections from Handel's "Water Music", Vivaldi's "Winter", Handel's "Largo", Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze", and "Arioso". The wedding party then entered to "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring", and finally, the bride to Clarke's "Trumpet Voluntary".
As soon as the bride's father was seated, Mr. Hansen performed "Ave Maria". Later on, just before the vows, we once again accompanied him as he performed "You Raise Me Up".
We played Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" for the recessional as the wedding party exited, and continued with Handel's "La Rejouissance" "Entrance of the Queen of Sheba", and "Hornpipe".
The Donovan also provided a beautiful backdrop with the river rushing along in the background, against the mountains covered in bright green spring time foliage.
