Re: Need some ceremony music ideas!!

We had a string trio and used:
Bridal Party Processional - 'Jesu, Joy of Music' by Bach
Bridal Processional - 'Music for the Royal Fireworks' by Handel
Recessional - 'Entrance the Queen of Sheba' by Handel

and his mom sang a song as her reading.

Re: Need some ceremony music ideas!!

I almost used Ave Maria for candle lighting, but I found a new song yesterday that I like a little better for us. We are using Grow Old With Me-God Bless Our Love by Mary Chapin Carpenter. As for other music I am unsure yet. I have been downloading and listening to all different versions of songs waiting to find the one that clicks with me. I reccomend going on to Bearsare and downloading and listening to different songs. It has been so helpful so far. All you have to type in for a search is wedding music and thousands of songs will pop up. Good Luck!!!
