No! Music for the ceremony is traditionally more conservative and made up mostly of Baroque and Classical pieces. If you prefer non-traditional pieces (Celtic, Pop, International), we are happy to play anything you choose! For the reception, a broad range of music is played including Classical, Broadway, Gypsy and the Beatles.

No problem! Often there is a wish for separate processional music for the bride and the bridesmaids. As well, there can be processional music for the parents and the groomsmen.

Normal practice is for the music to start 15 minutes before the ceremony. This is when the guests usually arrive. The musician will then play prelude music until such time as they get a signal that the bridal party has arrived. If the bridal party is late, the musician will continue playing prelude music until the bridal party does get there.

On the day, the leader will coordinate with a designated person to get a signal when the bridal party is ready to come in. The leader will also coordinate with the priest/minister about the music inside the ceremony.

Yes! They need to be in a sun-protected area and a temperature not less than 17°.

Music is commonly played for these parts. The musicians will also play a much broader range of music than at the ceremony.

In a 3-hour period, the musicians will take two 15-minute breaks or one 30-minute break. If there are speeches during the period the musicians will be there, then the breaks will be timed accordingly to maximize the playing time.

The men wear tuxedos (black bow ties) and the women wear all black or a black long-skirt with a white top.

Normally this is not a requirement. The one exception to this occurs when the musicians are engaged for a 4 or 5-hour function over the dinner hour. In this case, a plate of sandwiches would be greatly appreciated!

If the number of guests exceeds 200 a sound system is recommended. There is an additional charge of $150.00. If you are also having a DJ at your wedding then we can plug into their system at no extra charge. Sound systems are never required for a ceremony.

In cramped quarters it is recommended to go with a smaller group such as a duo or solo.
