Candace and Matthew’s wedding ceremony at the Mill Race Park of the Cambridge Mill, September 21, 2012, violin and cello duo, Cambridge ON

This is such a beautiful venue! Despite performing here for almost a decade, we always love to be close to the water, and to enjoy the sense of history that this venue has. On the flip side, when you step inside the venue, things are quite modern, new and exciting—a really great blend of traditional and modern. As far as our performance goes, and partly because of the outdoor venue, built in the 19th century, the couple chose a perfect collection of classical music to accompany them, and their guests during the ceremony. Pachelbel Canon needs no introduction, as it perfectly suits the walk down the aisle. The signing music was by Bach, and we often say this music has a wonderful flow to it—this is really brought out when performing it next to the beautiful river. Finally for the recessional, the stately and spirited Rondeau by Mouret.

Wedding String Trio Burlington ON

There is no question that the city of Burlington has some beautiful venues, but we and our clients always fall hard for Spencer’s. The venue’s angled glass room is very modern, while the service and the attention to detail from the staff has been honed for years, so it’s no secret that we love to perform here. The clients requested a mixture of classical and pop music during the wedding ceremony, with classical coming to the forefront. The bridesmaid’s processional was Bach’s Sheep May Safely Graze, and this piece is a beautiful way to ease into the ceremony. As the brie walked down the aisle, the music shifted slightly to a Bach’s Air. This song has a wonderful octave leaps in the bass, which helps to anchor the sound and give the song a great footing to support the soaring and smooth upper line played by the violin. Of course, all of this is accentuated and highlighted by the beautiful acoustic in the room. Still sticking with Bach, the next time the string trio performed in the ceremony was when the papers were being signed. Bach’s Jesu Joy is a natural fit in keeping with the ‘Bach” theme. As the couple exited just after the officiant announced their marriage, we performed the upbeat and exciting (also very popular) Viva la Vida by Coldplay.

Sarah and Dan’s wedding ceremony at Whistle Bear Golf Club, July 7, 2012, violin & cello duo, Cambridge ON

Our violinist and cellist performed an outdoor wedding at Whistle Bear golf course, just outside of Cambridge. When I was speaking with Sarah regarding the music that she and Dan wanted for the ceremony, I found out that they enjoyed the music of Antonio Vivaldi, and the selected interesting music, by Bach (another baroque composer) as well as Giuseppe Verdi. The program as a whole was fantastic, and we were so happy to be able to perform all of the music they requested.

Bridesmaids Processional: La Vergine Degli Angeli from Verdi’s La Forza del destino

Bride processional: Largo from Vivaldi Lute concerto RV 93

Signing: Bach, first movement from the Cello Suite #1

Recessional: Vivaldi Trumpet Concerto RV 537
