Wedding Ceremony Music
Welcome to my Wedding Ceremony Music page! My signature ceremony music package is to sing and provide my harp or piano accompaniment, as well as instrumentals on your chosen instrument. Additionally, I am available to perform as a solo instrumentalist or collaborate with other musicians to create the perfect musical experience for your special day.
Planning your Wedding Ceremony Music
When a couple books ceremony music with me, I offer a highly personalised service that is bespoke to their unique ceremony, and is also based on my knowledge collected during my 15 years in the industry. On this page, you will find basic outlines of church ceremony music and non-church ceremony music, along with some popular and recommended song options for each part of the ceremony. When selecting your music, don’t forget to also check out my full repertoire list, where you will find literally hundreds more songs!
Please select your type of ceremony below for an outline & music recommendations
Please note the following symbols and their meanings when viewing the song suggestions to follow:

The following are just some examples of my typical church wedding music, which are selected from my full repertoire list. If you have booked with me, I will talk you though all of this in more detail, and help you to design a church ceremony programme that you, your guests and your priest will love.
First, I will play a selection of pre-ceremony instrumental music that will compliment your chosen ceremony music.

This section is for civil ceremonies, spiritual ceremonies, humanist ceremonies, Entheos ceremonies, interfaith ceremonies, vow renewals, and any other type of wedding ceremony that is not the traditional church ceremony. The exact structure of a non-church ceremony varies from wedding to wedding, and from celebrant to celebrant. I will talk you through adding music to your unique ceremony that you will design with your celebrant or registrar.
