Civil Wedding Ceremony

My husband and I were looking for live music at our daughter’s civil wedding ceremony and because it was the first wedding in our family we wanted to make it extra special.  We looked online and we were thrilled when we found two musicians who played the type of music that we wanted and suitable for the occasion.

They played flute and guitar and call themselves Carillon, and what made it even better, they were a husband and wife team who had years of experience in playing for peoples weddings whether it be church weddings, civil ceremonies, civil partnerships etc. so my husband and I know we could be guided by them.

As wedding musicians they were able to advise us regarding wedding music that is suitable for the flute and guitar and which pieces would and wouldn’t be allowed at the civil ceremony. They even sent us a free demonstration CD to help us with our choices!

On our daughter’s wedding day, Carillon proved to be very professional and friendly.  The music was superb and was never intrusive or got in the way of the ceremony itself – everything went like a dream.

They began by played as the guests were ushered into the ceremony room and many guests later commented on how the music was wonderful to listen to and indeed to see these musicians playing live rather than a CD playing in the background.

Carillon played during the signing of the register while everyone took photos too and finally as our daughter and her husband processed out.  I have to say these live musicians really did add a flourish and elegance to the proceedings.

After the civil wedding ceremony they played outside while the photographer took more photographs of our families and groups of friends.  It really was a pleasure to have them play at our daughter’s wedding as it made the occasion even more special.  We would definitely recommend them to our family and friends if anyone was getting married, they were worth every penny.
