At Duo d’Amore, we have been busy compiling and creating new arrangements for brides and grooms at upcoming wedding ceremonies and receptions. You might notice that some of the songs in this list are on our current list, but these have been reworked for another ensemble such as a string trio or string quartet. Many songs (such as A Thousand Years by Christina Perri) are brand new and we are excited to play them at upcoming engagements. Also, our Guide to Wedding Ceremony Music Selections and Sample Programs (available on the Samples page) will be updated to reflect our growing list of music. Enjoy!

Ben and Patrick’s wedding at Langdon Hall combined the historic and classical elegance of Langdon Hall with modern and contemporary wedding ceremony music. As guest were arriving our violinist and cellist performed a number o pop songs to set the mood for the ceremony. Ban and Patrick chose a variety of great music and the guests really appreciated hearing the string ensemble play something that was a bit out oft the ordinary. For the start of the ceremony, the grooms walked down to the theme from Gabriel’s Oboe by Enrico Morricone. This is a lovly touch and worked so well. The signing music was River Flows In You by Yiruma, and this was a little more relaxed and as the title suggests, it had a very nice flow to it. The recessional was more upbeat and changing from the more modern, was actually classical, and Handel’s Hornpipe from the Water music was a great choice to finish the ceremony—it is bright happy and has lots of energy. Congratulations!

Make You Feel My Love - Adele
I will Remember You - Sarah McLachlan

Our string duo trio and string quartet performs lots of different types of music at wedding ceremonies, from classical, to pop, fusion, the Beatles, and everything in between. While we enjoy the variety, sometimes it is wonderful to perform classic wedding music. This music is just perfectly suited to the different times in the ceremony, and we received many comments from the guests about our musicians beautiful performance.

Processional: Pachelbel: Canon in D
Signing: Bach-Gounod: Ave Maria
Recessional: Mendelssohn: Wedding March

Wedding ceremony musicians Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge: Duo d’Amore-violin and cello duo, string trio and string quartet

 This wedding ceremony highlighted many of the elements that make wedding ceremonies a joy to perform at. As the f=guests were arriving, the violinist and cellist performed a modern set of music that was lively, upbeat, fun with a few slower songs mixed in as well. This prelude created some of the wow factor for the guests, as a number were somewhat surprised (in a good way!) to hear such modern music performed on the more classical violin and cello. Once all the guests had taken their seats, we were given the cue to start the music for the bridesmaid’s processional, which was Bach’s Air. This is a perennial favorite for the bridesmaid’s music, as it creates a lovely and fresh mood to start off the ceremony. This music contrasted very well with the brides processional that followed—the famous Pachelbel Canon in D. The signing music was a hybrid piece, part of which was written by JS Bach in the 18^th century, and was almost “remixed” in the 19^th century by the French composer Gounod. This is an absolutely stunning piece of music in it’s own right, and like the bridesmaids music, it too is a popular favorite for the signing of the register. The recessional was the up-tempo, and regal Clarke Trumpet Voluntary, and it capped off the ceremony with wonderful energy and fanfare.

Prelude: A mix of popular songs

Processional for  7 Bridesmaids & 2 Flower Girls - Bach: Air on the G string
Processional  for Bride - Pachelbel: Canon in D
Signing - Bach-Gounod: Ave  Maria
Recessional - Clarke: Trumpet Voluntary
