September 10, 2010 - Ten Mile Station, Breckenridge

 We had the opportunity last week to play at a new venue at the Ten Mile Station.  We traveled to Breckenridge, Colorado - a neighboring ski town for the mountaintop wedding.
The weather was beautiful and it was a great venue and ceremony - the staff was fantastic to work with, and they did a great job keeping everything running very smoothly.


Ceremony area



Our prelude consisted of  Bach's 'Sheep May Safely Graze', Delibes' 'Flower Song', Tartini's 'Cantabile', Handel's 'Andante & Allegro' from the Water Music, Handel's 'Largo', Telemann's 'Presto', and Schubert's 'Andante'.  


Guests visiting pre-ceremony

As the ceremony began, the groomsmen and officiant entered, followed by the mothers as we played Handel's 'Air' from the Water Music.  The bridesmaids, ring bearer, and flower girl entered to Bach's 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring', and the bride entered to Pachebel's timeless 'Canon in D'.  

During the ceremony, the officiant read a tender letter from the bride and groom to their parents.  We then played 'O Mio Babbino Caro' by Puccini as flowers were brought from the back, and the bride and groom presented the flowers to their parents. 

We played Clark's 'Trumpet Voluntary' for the recessional, and then Handel's 'La Rejouissance', and Mozart's 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik' as the guests began to exit and mingle and as photographs commenced.
