Pluck & Strum

Of course! We have years of experience providing music for weddings. We know what works ... and also what doesn't!

We can assist you in selecting the music for your wedding ceremony. This will start by getting to know you!

• What kind of music do you like?
• Does your wedding have a theme?
• What mood/vibe do you want your wedding to have?

Based on this info, we'll come up with some great song choices for your ceremony and pre-reception (if applicable)!

The entrance of the bride is a very emotional moment, one that the groom, your family and friends have been anticipating all day. There are a couple of things about the processional to keep in mind when choosing your song:

• you will be walking so you want a song that isn't too fast (ideally a song at a walking pace is good, that way you can walk along to the beat)
• pick a longer rather than shorter song, that way the song won't finish before you've reached the end of the aisle
• what kind of mood do you want to set for your wedding - romantic, funky, happy, serious, traditional?
• What kind of music do you like?

If you are booking our harp or harp/guitar music for your wedding ceremony, then you can't go wrong with Pachelbel's Canon in D. It's romantic and slow. Another option is Wagner's Here Comes the Bride, which is more stately and "royal" sounding than the Canon in D.

If you prefer pop music, or are booking our harp/singing combination, then a great song to walk down to is 1000 Years by Christina Perri. Super romantic, great lyrics, good tempo (speed).

We want to make sure we play music you love during your wedding, and we understand every couple has different musical tastes. This is why when you book us, you will receive a Music Selection online form. You literally tell us what music you want us to play, and when you want us to play it.

We have a huge song list to pick music from - mostly classical pieces and pop songs - but if something's not on the list and you really would like it played, please let us know. We are highly experienced at arranging music!

So between these two things you can rest assured your wedding ceremony will be highly personalised!

Assuming we are available for your wedding, the booking procedure goes as follows:

• we will send you a wedding booking form, contract and invoice for a 50% deposit
• once the above two documents have been submitted and your invoice paid, your booking is officially confirmed (we'll send a confirmation email)
• we will send you an online Music selection form, which is due back to us 2 weeks before your wedding at the latest
• following your wedding we will invoice you for the remaining amount. Payment is due within 14 days

We understand that organising a whole wedding is demanding and sometimes thinking about your ceremony music gets put aside for more pressing matters.

We will be reminding you about your Music Selection form due date throughout the process, so that you hopefully don't forget about it. If we fail to receive it though, this is what will happen: we will pick the music for you on your behalf. And you don't have to worry - with our years of experience, we know what music works well for the different parts of the ceremony.

If you don't know what music you want, no stress! A great thing to do is ask yourself the following questions:

• what music do I like?
• what kind of mood/vibe do I want my wedding to have?

This already narrows down the music choices (at least from a musician's perspective). We can also offer you recommendations!
