This wedding at Graydon Hall was absolutely stunning, and we were honored to be a part of it. We had a really fun time talking about song selections for the ceremony, and we came up with an excellent grouping of songs to fit each part of the ceremony perfectly. The music was performed by Duo d’Amore’s string trio and we received many really nice comments from the guests.

Our string ensembles have had the pleasure of performing at Starling Lane Vineyard several times in the past, and we are happy to be back. Working with Alicia on choosing the music was a pleasure—one of the songs that she particularly wanted during the ceremony was Bridge over Troubled Water, and were extremely happy to be able to incorporate this songs during the ceremony. The signing portion was the perfect place to perform this song, and it was followed beautifully by the recessional music with concluded the ceremony sin such a lovely way.

“Thanks so much for everything—it was perfect!” Jana, bride

This ceremony was really fun and lighthearted, and we were excited to perform at Q Haute Cuisine, as this was a new venue in Calgary for us. Jana and Mark opted for our most popular ensemble, the violin and cello duo. The couple did a great job choosing their song selections, as everything fit perfectly, and was timed brilliantly. The prelude songs worked very well, as most often we perform all classical or a mix of pop and classical, which helps to create a calm, relaxing mood. In this case, the couple chose all pop, and the right songs make all the difference! During the ceremony, the music switched to classical, and again everything fit wonderfully. I love the combination of Bach Air with Pachelbel’s Canon. Jesu Joy (also by Bach) is an exceptional signing song, and ending with Bittersweet Symphony for that burst of energy as the couple exits was the perfect touch!

Prelude

Isreal kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Christina Perri - A Thousand Years
Louis Armstrong - What a wonderful World
Train – Marry Me
Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling In love

Ceremony
Bridesmaids & groomsmen, flower girl & ring bearer: Bach - Air on the G-string
Processional (for bride to walk down to): Pachelbel - Canon in D
Signing: Bach - Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring
Recessional: The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
