September 25, 2010 - Creekside Park in Beaver Creek

We had the opportunity to play for a lovely wedding this past weekend in the Creekside Park in Beaver Creek. It turned out to be a glorious fall day, and a fantastic venue. One of our very first performances as a quartet/trio was in this park many years ago. On that occasion however, it was pouring buckets of rain and our experience was markedly different.



This wedding was a little different than some of our previous weddings as all of the music we played was contemporary. The bride and groom had a couple of requests, and because they asked several months in advance, we were able to track down string versions of their requests for their ceremony.

We began our prelude with Iver's/Keane's 'Bygone Days', Webber's 'All I Ask of You', Ungar's 'Ashokan Farewell', Silvestri's 'Feather Theme', Denver's 'Annie's Song', Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida', and finished with The Beatles' 'Let it Be'.

We then began the processional music as the wedding party entered to an arrangement of 'Fix You' by Coldplay. The bride then entered to 'The Luckiest' by Ben Folds.

As the bride and groom were presented to the audience and began to recess, we played the Cure's 'Just Like Heaven', followed by Elvis' 'Can't Help Falling In Love', and finished up with Enya's 'Only Time'.

We had the pleasure of working again with CC Dick and her staff from the Colorado Wedding Company who really helped make the ceremony beautiful and flow flawlessly.
