Wedding Music

George Frideric Handel

This song from an opera is an engaging number, and well-known.

Jean-Joseph Mouret

If you have a good trumpeter, this would be a good exalting piece for the entrance of the bride.

Derek Bourgeois

A quirky lopsided wedding march - tongue firmly in cheek.

Louis-James Alfred Léfébure-Wély

There is the whiff of the circus about this sortie (or 'exit music').

Felix Mendelssohn

The 'standard' wedding march - is it something of a cliché?

Henry Purcell

This is cheerful dance music for a choir celebrating a wedding, and makes a great wedding 'march'.

Eric Whitacre

A modern American anthem - in Whitacre's beautiful chordal style.

Charles-Marie Widor

This most famous piece of French organ music makes for a very stirring Wedding March.

Christopher Maxim

Perfect for a cycle-themed wedding. Bicyclists rejoice!

Johann Sebastian Bach

I include this piece in the interest of completeness. I have played it by request at a wedding - and it would fit a gothic theme.

Grimoaldo Macchia

An exciting alternative to the Mendelssohn.

Henry Purcell

A splendid starter for any ceremony - the bride will love it.
