Suggestions for Great Processional Selections!

Happy Planning to all

We are asked frequently about suggested repertoire for the Bridal Party and the Bride.
Of course there are always the lovely tried and true ceremonial and classical pieces of music such as 'Trumpet Voluntary', by Clarke, 'Bridal Chorus' (for the bride only!) by Wagner, 'Canon in D', by Pachelbel, 'Air on the G String' by JS Bach, 'Air' from Watermusic by GF Handel, 'Ave Maria' by Schubert and 'Arioso' by JS Bach to name a few great options.

Here are suggestions for that little bit of something different and which sound great played by Strings!
