This past weekend we had a violin duo which played for a wedding at Saddleridge Restaurant in Beaver Creek.
It was a beautiful venue, and this was our first time playing here!

The ceremony was held upstairs, and the wedding party actually ascended up the stairs rather than down.
For this wedding a violin duo performed. As we planned the playlist with the bride, she indicated that she didn't want much of the traditional wedding pre-ceremony music that was slow and solemn. She wanted mainly lively and upbeat pieces.
We began with Mozart's 'Menuetto', Bach's 'Gigue from Suite #3', 'March in D', Rondeau from Orchestral Suite #2'. These were follwed by Gossec's 'Tambourin', Handel's 'La Rejouissance', Loeillet's 'Allegro', Mozart's 'Rondo alla Turca', Vivaldi's Danza Pastorale' from his Violin Concerto, Telemann's 'Vivace' and 'Presto'.
The bridal party then ascended the steps to Bach's 'Air', and the bride entered to Pachelbel's 'Canon'.
After the wedding ceremony ended, we played Clarke's 'Trumpet Voluntary' for the recessional, followed by Handel's 'Hornpipe' from the Water Music.
Afterwards, we moved downstairs and played various selections during the cocktail hour.
