Walk in: Dawn from Pride and Prejudice
Signing: Claire de Lune by Debussy and Jasmin Flower (the Chinese folk song)
Walk out: Orchestral Suite No 3 in D, BWV1068: II Air (Bach) (Air on the G String)
- Dawn or Mrs Darcy from the Pride and Prejudice movie > these two are about the same but Mrs Darcy is slightly longer but with more instruments whereas it seems that Dawn is the opening credit and a piano version. We have quite a long way to go for me to walk down the aisle (all the way from the back of the room to the front of the divinity school) so would love to hear your thoughts on how either these two will work for me to walk down the aisle with
- Reverie (Debussy)
- Claire De Lune (Debussy) - was thinking this one for the signing
- Arabesque (Debussy) - was thinking this one for the signing or somewhere else suitable during the ceremony
- Liebestraum (Liszt)
- Peer Gynt Suite No.1 Op.46 (Grieg)
- Orchestral Suite No.3 in D Major BWV1068:II Air (Bach) - we were thinking of walking out of the room together with this song (we are going out the way i walk in so quite a long way)
- Nessun Dorma (opera song but is it possible to do a piano version?)
- Con te partiro (opera song but is it possible to do a piano version?)
- September Song (Agnes Obel) - perhaps during the drinks reception?
- Turning Page (Instrumental version by Sleeping at last) - perhaps also during the drinks reception
- Nuvole Bianche (Ludovico Einaudi)
- I giorni (Ludovico Einaudi)
- Plus Tot
The below are songs with singing normally but would it be possible to do piano versions?
- I will follow you into the dark (Death Cab for Cutie)
- What a wonderful world (Louis Armstrong)
- Can't help falling in love (Elvis)

September 2019, Olde Bell Barn
We're getting married in the barn at 2pm, and would like music as our guests arrive and for the ceremony. I was then thinking I would like background music throughout the meal, so timings would technically be 2-6pm approx (it wouldnt be needed during speeches etc!). Is that fairly normal for the weddings you've done previously?
We've done a little bit of research into the type of music we like and we're thinking of some jazz like Bill Evans 'Like someone in love' for the ceremony. Do you think that would work with just piano or would we need a bassist?
Happy to have anything in a similar style throughout drinks and dinner - whatever you recommend :)
All the things you are - jerome kern/oscar hammerstein
Sophisticated lady - duke ellington
Prelude to a kiss - duke ellington
April in paris - vernon duke/e.y harburg

Long ago (and far away) - kern/ gershwin

We had originally agreed you would play the violin for the ceremony, and the piano from thereafter but as you can see we have chosen pieces that may well be better played on the piano. What would your advice be as I’m sure you’re far better at knowing which will work, better than us!
For the rest of the time we would like a selection of classical piano pieces, show tunes and pop tunes so that everyone can recognise and relate to something - the age range of the guests is mostly higher than might be the usual (probably 40+) as we ourselves are not a young couple :)

Bequi and I are into our computer games, looking forward to hearing you play. On another note, there was something bequi and I forgot to ask about the wedding breakfast. We'd like it if you could play a tune, probably not what you'd expect...Imperial March from Star Wars We'd like this to be played after the master of ceremonies has announced us, and we walk into the orangery for dinner for the first time. I think people will find it pretty funny, and its a great tune.

September 2014 - Lains Barn, Wantage
1,00 Guests seated
Simon Jordan’s choice – please may you pick a mixture of classical and contemporary music that you enjoy playing and that will fit in with the ceremony.
Pre-entrance music (track before the entrance music)
Bach – Air on a G string
[or is this a bit much for pre-entrance music as I know it’s normally used for entrance music]
Entrance music (1:30pm)
Desree – Kissing You - SENT
Bridesmaids will walk down first, then the bride will walk down. The aisle is quite short (approx. 10 to 12 rows of chairs) so happy for you to start/end the music how you think it will best fit for entrance music.
[Do you normally start playing before the bridesmaids walk in or do you start as soon as they step onto the aisle?]
Signing of the register
Elbow – One Day Like this - I will bring this with me
[Do we need any more music for this section? I notice some people put 2-3 songs but I didn’t realise it lasted this long.]
Exit music
Jack Johnson – Better Together
Drinks reception
After all the guests have exited their seats, the venue will be asking them to line up by the main barn doors ready for throwing confetti as Sara and Paul walk through the doors. If the ceremony is Plan A please may you continue playing after the ceremony (as you won’t have to move)(subject to any breaks you need), but if it’s Plan B this could be the perfect time to move the instruments and then you can start playing again as soon as you’re ready.

•
