If you’re into classical music, what did you have at your wedding?

[FaithHowellsYellowCoat]

I don’t want Pachelbel’s Canon! Any suggestions?

I walked into a movement from Corelli Christmas Concerto (it wasn’t Christmas, I just loved the music!) played by a string quartet.

Signing of the register to Bach Cello Suite No.1, 1st movement.

We walked out to something by Bach, I think it was ‘Sheep may safely graze’. I can’t remember now - it was 13 years ago

Here comes the bride played to start off.
Exit to The Wedding march by Mendelssohn.
Simple Registry wedding . No music other than that.
Widors Toccata is quite uplifting for the exit.

Walked in to Haydn’s St Anthony Chorale.
Walked out to the traditional Wedding March by Mendelssohn.

If you have Spotify or similar type in Wedding Music and you will be given quite a few pieces to consider ...

Meditation from Thais is beautiful. Or Ave Maria.

Entered to The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, register was signed to Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring and Humouresque (I think... I was in the vestry...) and then exited to Widor's Toccato. It's a belter and I was practically waving my bouquet like a triumphant conquerer!

Elgar’s Salut d’amour. I still love it. It’s more simple than some entrance music but very elegant somehow!

One of the pieces I had was Clarke's Trumpet Voluntary. I think that's the one I walked down the aisle to.

It's so long ago, nearly 30 years, that I can't remember the rest but if I do I'll come back.

I had a small wedding in a small venue - perhaps that’s significant.

Widows Toccata is wonderful.
Wedding Day at Trolhaugen Grieg
Blumenlied Gustav Lang

I also had St Anthony's Chorale for entrance and then Queen of Sheba for exit. I agree with Pavlova31 - try spotify or YouTube for ideas. Enjoy!

Oo, sage, I walked in to The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba and exited to Widor’s Toccata. Toccata is joyous!

Walked in to Jesu joy of man's desiring and left to the wedding march.

Dirtyjellycat I also walked in to Salut D'Amour, I love it and randomly heard it in a shop on our anniversary this year

Walked out to a Scott Joplin rag

We had a fab organist who I had known since I was little. Walked into Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, had a mashup of Pachabel Cannon and Air on G String for signing the register then walked out to Widdors Toccata. Guests listened to her play Whiter Shade of Pale mashed with bridge over troubled water while waiting for me to arrive.

Bach cello suites, the Swan, Air on a G string. Delibes’ flower duet and the Ode to Joy for up and down the aisle.

The humming chorus from Madam Butterfly.

Signed register to Morten Lauridsen's Ubi Caritas. Hired a choir for it. One of my favourite things about the day.

I wanted barbers adagio for strings, love it. I didn't get my way (shape of things to come).

In to the Stanley trumpet voluntary, out to Highland Cathedral.

I walked in to a beautiful piano piece called a river runs through you (I think) - but we're divorcing after 8 years...!

I had Vivaldi's Concerto for two trumpets - the trumpeters came into view of the guests as I walked down the aisle. We walked out of church to another part of the same piece.

Oops- river flows in you by yiruma

@Mac47 really? That piece is pretty much synonymous with sadness/tragedy. I love it to bits but would not think it appropriate for a wedding AT ALL. Think you were overruled correctly I'm afraid!

I walked in to Delibes Flower Duet from Lakme - I can't for the life of me remember what we played to leave the registry!!
