If the weather cooperates, this is one of my favorite wedding venues. Even though we have to park up top and haul all of our equipment, the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens are always absolutely breathtaking. The mountain backdrop against all of the flowers and gurgling fountains and light breezes add a magical quality to everything - especially a wedding.
Todays weather was perfect, and the wedding we played for was beautiful.
Here's a view from the top of the rock steps directly above the wedding area in the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens.
We started out our prelude with Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze" and "Arioso", and then went to "Andante" and "Allegro" from Handel's Water Music, followed Mozart's "Menuetto" from the Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and Handel's "Largo" from Xerxes.
Just prior to the ceremony, we performed an Elvis cover tune of "Can't Help Falling in Love with You", and the processional began.
As the family members and wedding party entered, we played Handel's "Air" from the Water Music, and then the bride'smaids entered to Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring", followed by the bride to Pachebel's "Canon".
We played Schubert's "Ave Maria" for the unity candle, and "Con te Partiro" (Time to Say Goodbye) for the recessional. As a request from the bride, we ended with "Just Like Heaven" by the Cure.
