Weddings
Sole Bay Strings are happy to advise you on suitable music for the ceremony, whether in a church or a civil wedding. The choice really is endless, but please remember this is your special day and you are free to choose your own favourite and evocative music. (Please bear in mind that music must be non-religious for a civil ceremony).
While the guests assemble, we may play something from Handel's Water Music, Boccherini's celebrated Minuet or a Mozart Divertimento. We have listed below some popular choices for the ceremony itself. We have a demonstration CD to help you decide which music you prefer.
