Ceremony music- walking down the aisle!

I'm doing Little Wing by Sting for my girls and Three Little Birds by Bob Marley for me

Pre-Ceremony - Fragile by Sting, Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles

Recessional - Somewhere over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole and Two Hearts by Bruce Springsteen

Here is a long long list of processional songs that might help you get a loose sense of the style of song you'd like https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-songs/processional-music.

But if your cellist does sign on to do your wedding why not sit down with her and see what songs she likes to play, you might find one you like.

There is a post right now about this...

I'm doing Canon in D

I'm having all string instruments. I'm walking to Feels Like Home.

I hired a string quartet and I'm trying to choose songs now. Right now I'm listening to "Wonderful Tonight" by Vitamin String Quartet.

I had the rest of the wedding party walk out to a piano/cello/violin instrumental of Ben Folds' "The Luckiest". When I walked out, we transitioned to a 1 min clip called "The Theory of Everything" from the film with the same name. Worked out really well for us!

I walking down to "Married life" from the movie UP. Played on the cello and violin.

I left FH in charge of the rest of the music, he's been in touch with our ceremony musicians.

I love 'the luckiest", and "Can't help falling in love with you", and "There's a place for us"

No more '1000 years", "I think I want to Marry You" or "All of Me" thank you.

I walked to "You're my best friend" by Queen, performed by Midnite String Quartet. Search them on Amazon digital music.

Have you asked your cellist for his/her current repertoire? They may already have something that you would like. You may also want to ask them if there is an additional fee for learning something outside of their existing repertoire before falling in love with a particular piece. You may find something you like that doesn't translate well to cello. Talk with your musician and see what he/she thinks.

Sleepers awake, by Bach. Played by a violinist

I'm walking down the aisle to "Try to Remember" from The Fantasticks. I haven't decided on anything else for the ceremony yet, though.

I'm walking down the aisle to an instrumental version of "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid.

Highland Cathedral, with a Bagpiper for my my entrance.

FH REALLY wants me to walk down during cannon N D. The girls will be coming down to A Thousands Years the instrumental version. Before the ceremony we will be playing all of our favorite love songs! And the recessional to Come to Me by The Goo Goo Dolls.

If your cellist has played for weddings before, see what is in her repertoire. I hired a musician I know and trust, and she picked the other two musicians and most of the music they would play. I wrote the song I walked down the aisle to and gave her a few ideas on the other music, and she did the rest.

Butterfly Waltz is so pretty!!

Following

At first it was going to be "Spend my life with you" by Eric Bennet and Tamia, but now it is going to be "Die with you" by Beyoncé. Despite the name, it is a beautiful song. I'm sure another song will come out and I will change it again within the next year.
