May the 18th was a popular day for a wedding, and Rita and Kevin has a lovely one! They were so easy to work with and it was just wonderful working with them. Their ceremony, which included communion, was the picture of elegance, traditional and class. In our correspondence and discussion of what music they would like at the wedding, the couple used our Sample Programs on our Quote page, and chose with Classic Mass option, adding the famous Wachet Auf, or Sleepers Awake by Bach. The entire program looked like:

Bridesmaids processional: Bach Air
Bride’s processional: Pachelbel Canon in D
Signing: Bach-Gounoud: Ave Maria
Communion: Bach: Wachet Auf
Recessional: Mendellsohn: Wedding March

Besides the Pachelbel, this was a real Bach fest! Bach ‘s music works so well because it is both comforting, as many of the melodies are well known, but also because the music is so well written, and it provides lots of interest for the guests, it is easy to walk to and it is endlessly tuneful and happy. The last music on the program was Mendelssohn’s wedding March, and it resounded as Rita and Kevin’s walked out followed by their family and friends. Congratulations!

Duo d’Amore was honored to participate in a wonderful winter wedding held at the Ritz Carleton in Toronto.

The music selections were somewhat traditional but with a modern twist. The bridesmaids walked in to Spring by Vivaldi. This was a great choice as I think everyone in Ontario is hoping for and end to Winter and warmer temperatures soon. Melody entered to Pachelbel Canon, followed by Bach Air for the signing of the marriage license. This piece is uniquely suited to the signing of the register, as it is quiet and introspective, but also very beautiful from the audience’s perspective. The fun twist at the end of the ceremony was the music selection for the recessional: All You Need is Love by the Beatles. This selection is just one of the hundred or so songs that we have in our Modern Repertoire and an excellent choice to walk to as man and wife.

We really appreciated the hard work of wedding planner Michelle Garber of Fabfete. We have worked with her on a number of wedding ceremonies and events and she always does an exceptional job!
