Piano wedding ceremony music

Repertoire Weddings and Civil Ceremonies

Below is a guide for your perusal and by no means an exhaustive list of the pieces in my repertoire. I also play requests. If you want a special song to be played at your event just let me know.

Please also view the pieces listed under the wedding section of this site.

You’ll want to be sure that everything is perfect on one of the most important days of your life and music plays a vital role.

For wedding ceremonies you can choose between piano and / or organ.

I can play your choice of music as and when you want it.

When to play is something that you can tailor to suit your needs. My music provides an atmospheric backdrop and I can play for all or some of the following:

  • The ceremony (as your guests gather, the entrance and exit, during the signing of the register).
  • Photographs
  • The Wedding Breakfast

To ensure your event really sparkles why not book the jazz ensemble! To find out more click here to go to the Quartet, Trio, Duo page.

Choosing the right music for your wedding is often a bewildering experience whether you are having a civil or religious ceremony. As a guide, you may want to select one piece for your entrance music, one or two hymns if applicable, a piece for during the signing of the register, and one recessional piece.

I can also play requests.

Civil ceremonies, have strict rules in not allowing any music with religious connections.

To view a repertoire list of popular / jazz standards that can be used for the wedding breakfast please go to the repertoire page.

Below are some ideas if you want a fairly traditional ceremony incorporating classical music and perhaps hymns. It is also possible to choose non classical / traditional music, especially for civil weddings.
