Wedding Music

Jean Murray is always happy to discuss individual requirements for music for any wedding or civil partnership that is being planned, and is keen to ensure that the music helps imbue each event with its own special character.

Many couples like to have classical music before the start of the ceremony in order to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for the guests as they arrive. During the ceremony, most couples want a short musical accompaniment to the entry of the bride or the couple.

Some couples have very clear ideas on what music they would like played; others prefer to take advice. A few repertoire ideas from recent events follow, but new ideas are always welcome, and Jean Murray is happy to make fresh arrangements of any piece of music that seems to be suitable.
