You can't really go wrong with choosing
classical music for your wedding. While there is a trend in couples
including pop songs for their wedding, having classical music at your
wedding can be a beautiful way to share your special day. Couples
often choose either a solo instrument like a piano, violin, cello,
flute, or harp, or choose a small group like a string trio or string
quartet, or choose a singer to perform at their wedding. Music can be
included in the prelude, processional, wedding ceremony, recessional,
or postlude sections of the wedding, and also for the wedding
reception. There is much classical music to choose from for a
wedding, but as a musician who has performed at many weddings I have
chosen several pieces that we often recommend to soon to be married
couples for their weddings.
