October 10, 2009 – We really enjoyed playing for Denny and Lauren’s wedding in Savannah! We performed first at the Messiah Lutheran Church and did the cocktail hour at the Westin. They were a wonderful couple to work with and the wedding turned out just beautiful. They started with a traditional ceremony in the church where the organist and the string trio played a selection of traditional classical music.

 

For you future brides out there, here is a nice program of music for a more traditional ceremony setting:

Prelude:
Selections such as Air on the G String by Bach, The Water Music Suite by Handel, Schubert Andante from one of his string quartets

Mothers:
Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring – Bach

Bridal Party:
Canon in D – Pachelbel

Bride:
Trumpet Voluntary – Clarke

Recessional:
Trumpet Tune – Purcell

The cocktail hour took place at the hip yet modern Westin right on the river front. There we played a series of contemporary music ranging from Journey, U2, Etta James, Coldplay, as well as some Broadway favorites.

Overall, the wedding had a wonderful mix of classical and contemporary styles in music as well as venues and decor.
