good wedding music?
« on: February 09, 2010, 10:32:55 pm »

I've been asked to play entry, background and certificate-signing music for some weddings to be held at the Births, Deaths and Marriages Register this Sunday ... the most cliche day of the year -_-

Problem: I've never been to a wedding in my life.
Solution (?): suggest me wedding-ish music!!

I'm supposed to be playing "soothing" and "dreamy" music... preferably classical but if you know any nice jazzy ones etc. that'll do too...

Cheesy as and I don't know if it'll suit but "Little Waltz" by Basia Bulat is an awesome number. It might be a bit slow though, have a look on youtube or something.

well here's the thing... they have weddings from 9:30am until 7pm... I don't think they'll be very happy if I just play Pachelbel over and over again... :P

You can play Canon in all the keys, do a few arrangements, and repeat that a couple of times

As you mentioned earlier, I agree with your choice of Jesu Joy of Man's Desire :D
I would definitely suggest something Baroque, it suits the best for weddings
