If there is one piece of music that is indispensible at weddings, it would be Pachelbel’s Canon in D – whatever would we do without it!

However, before the popularity of the Canon in D, “Here Comes The Bride” and the “Wedding March” were the regular “in and out” of the wedding ceremony.

Although the Canon is still regularly in use, and rightly so because it is a lovely piece of music, wedding couples are also choosing contemporary music from their favourite artists. This is great but can challenge the organist or civil ceremony musicians so it is a good idea to take this into account.

Youtube can provide a great starting place for getting ideas about wedding music.
