Lynda and John’s wedding ceremony in the Windows Room of Inn on the Twenty, November 24, 2012, violin and cello duo, Jordan ON

There is something special about the venues owned and operated by Cave Spring, from the vineyard sites to the Windows room—the views are so sweeping and grand, unlike any other places that we have performed at in Niagara. Somehow, the Windows room is also organized so that guests can comfortably sit during the ceremony, go across the hall for the cocktail reception, and move back into the windows room to enjoy the view. This may sound like other venues, but it’s not—things are so close and always well organized. We really enjoy performing here and Lynda and John’s wedding was no exception. The ceremony music consisted of all classical music that went brilliantly. Pachelbel Canon was performed at Lynda walked down the aisle. The signing music was ever richer and layered—the famous Ave Maria by Bach Gounod was heard, and them everything lightened up for the recessional with Vivaldi’s Autumn (the first movement) performed as everything walked down to aisle into the corridor.

Processional:  Pachelbel's Canon D  

Signing:  Bach-Gounod’s Ave Maria

Recessional:  Vivaldi's Autumn

Officiant: Sheldon Kofsky

Vicki and Chuck’s wedding ceremony and cocktail reception at the Grand Hall of the Table Rock Welcome Centre, November 24, 2012, violin and cello duo, Niagara Falls, ON

Chuck and I just wanted to thank you for doing such a wonderful job with your team at our wedding in Niagara Falls on November 24, 2012. The music was so beautiful I still tear up I hear it. I really appreciate all the time and effort you took in picking out the perfect songs including “Accidentally in Love” last minute. Everyone loved the music and had such a wonderful time. Thank you again and we wish you all the best! Vicki and Chuck, bride and groom

Vicky and Chuck were amazing to work with. We had a wonderful time discussing and customizing the music selections for their ceremony. Also, they worked really hard to achieve a beautiful setting for there wedding ceremony. If you have never been to the Table Rock Welcome Center before, the ground floor consists of tourist shops as you would expect at Niagara Falls. However, the second floor was virtually transformed into a candle lit dream during the ceremony. Add the fact that the large windows in the room had great views of both the Horseshoe and American Falls, and it is easy to imagine how beautiful this wedding was. For music, the couple wanted their guests to feel happy and warm and have a good time and enjoy the wedding. They wanted the ceremony to be classy, elegant and romantic, and the songs they chose really complemented everything. Following the ceremony we stayed to perform a one-hour cocktail reception. We received many comments and the wedding and reception were incredibly memorable. Congratulations!


Processional: Enya Only Time
Signing: You Raise Me Up
Recessional: Accidentially in Love

Sarah and Shane’s wedding in the Heritage room of the Fairmont Chateau Montebello, November 17, 2012, violin and cello duo, Montebello, QC

Chateau Montebello is beautiful at any time of the year, but late fall is always wonderful. Sarah and Shane had a lovely ceremony. Their song selections combined baroque elegance with romantic richness. Starting with the bridesmaids, our violinist and cellist performed Mouret’s Rondeau, which many people know as the theme to Masterpiece Theatre. For Sarah, the bride, the string duo performed Wagner’s Bridal Chorus (this is where the richness comes is, as it sounds lovely with the violin and cello) and finally for the recessional we ventured back into baroque territory with the exuberant second hornpipe from Handel’s Water Music.

Processional Mouret: Rondeau and Wagner: Bridal Chorus
Recessional: Handel: Hornpipe II from the Water Music
