Thoma Bennett House Entrance

What a perfect Friday afternoon it was for this wedding ceremony at the classic Bennett House. The Solo Violin was a perfect addition to the small and intimate ceremony scene. This venue is perfect if you are looking for the historic downtown home to get married at.

The line-up of songs had a traditional and a spiritual side to it. Be Thou My Vision is a traditional Irish melody and is a great choice if you are looking for something different. It also works beautifully for the solo violin.

Small Ceremony Setup

Decorations

The courtyard is setup very well, having the grassy area behind the fountain for the ceremony and having the tented reception directly to the right. You can also have the reception inside as long as there is not amplified music produced.

The long-branched trees allow for cute decor to be hung such as the flower balls like in the picture below. It is simply a wonderful spot for a wedding especially in the spring and summer months when its very green and the flowers are in full bloom.

Here is another good example set list of traditional music for the ceremony we did:

Grandmothers and Mothers Processional
Ave Maria by Schubert

Wedding Party
Rondeau by Mouret

Bride’s Entrance
Trumpet Voluntary – Clarke

Recessional
“Spring” from the Four Seasons by Vivaldi
