Ceremony - Music for your ceremony should be carefully selected and whilst you may think that you're free to choose any piece of music you wish, sadly, that's not always the case. Registrars usually have to approve your musical choices to ensure they are appropriate.

With much experience of providing music for both church & civil ceremonies, we're more than happy to advise you and help choose your music.

Typically, music for your ceremony will take the following format:-

• Guests arrival  and whilst they settle (1 or two pieces)
• Bride's entrance
• Signing of the register & photographs
• Bride & Groom's exit
• Guests leaving (1 piece)

The ceremony is usually followed by a drinks reception, during which more wedding photographs will also be taken. We usually relocate to a suitable position and play music during this period too.

As a guide, ceremonies usually take 30/40 minutes and the following reception period can last between 1 - 2.5 hrs.

Wedding Breakfast - When asked to play during dinner, we usually suggest playing though the main course only. The start of the meal is typically a 'settling down' period and not always the most quiet. Once the main course is served, the mood in the room is generally much more settled. Again, as desserts/coffee come out, the atmosphere can often liven up again, particularly if speeches are at the end of your meal.

Performance time through the main course is usually @45mins.

This format is only a suggestion based on experience and one which has proven to work many times over. If however, you prefer an alternative, we're happy to play as required.

Bookings normally follow one of two options:-

1. Ceremony & drinks reception
2. Ceremony, drinks reception & dinner

If you book us for your evening party too, we're able to be much more competitive with our prices for music during the day.
