Music suggestions please for pre wedding ceremony

[SWnewstart]

Country house wedding - suggestions please for some music to be played for approx 30-45 mins while guests arrive / get seated before the ceremony. Light classical? All I can think of is Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending but that's only 15 mins or so. Open to all ideas please!

Capriol suite.

If light classical then ideas are -
Debussy Arabesque / Clair de Lune
Bach Prelude in C
A popular wedding track is Pachelbel’s Canon in D

What is your taste in music? Some like acoustic covers of their favourite pop/rock/whatever genre.

We had a piano cover of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven before our wedding. Lasted over 7 minutes

Thank you everyone so far! Liking the Bach Prelude suggestion but not very knowledgeable about classical music - is there a whole CD of similar work or would it be a question of compiling a playlist from single pieces to make music to last 30-45 mins?

Put classical wedding into Spotify, it will give you lots of ideas

So much stuff on Spotify, simply don't know where to start!!
Hence asking for personal recommendations / suggestion on here

Maybe go the bridgeton way? Classic songs done with a string quartet? These lot are amazing

Listen to Classic FM for a bit to see what you like and make a list?

You can get 'greatest hits' type CDs of classical music or classical music on themes (like 'celebration' or 'Meditations' or 'Pomp and circumstance') or collections of classical music that has been used for film sound tracks or similar.

Spotify has loads of wedding playlists. Try listening to one or two and shortlisting your favourite tracks. Something like this: open.spotify.com/playlist/1KCM1fra9KLHfYLkdSIfxb?si=vlJ4UagIQ7WjxXAlLsH_nw&pi=e-sxYGCiHWSHqp

Copland: Appalachian Spring?
"In this part of the ballet, a hopeful young Pioneer couple prepare for their wedding day"

Bach, Cello suites 1, 5 & 6. Yoyo Ma

Bach, English suites 1-6 (piano)

I love this!

you could be random and add Haste to the Wedding at the end! I like that.

And of course, Vivaldi, Four Seasons

Or Vivaldi, Four Seasons, re-composed by Max Richter. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/oct/21/max-richter-vivaldi-four-seasons

Or, English madrigals, 17th century.
