Music choices from brides and grooms for weddings in 2015 – as played by the wedding pianist Simon Jordan.
Any of the following tunes but particularly the ones with asterisks in whatever order you think is appropriate. Any you don’t play in this slot can be played in the later slots if you think they are suitable.
The next 4 are Alex’s favourites (Fiona and Chris’s son, he is 3) and there will be quite a few children of a similar age so if you are able to play any/all of them between 18.00 and 18.30 please could you say they are for Alex and all of the other children there (and in particular Jingle Bells which is his favourite song).
20.20 – 21.20 – music for dancing to. Jigs and similar music and if your pianist can play it, the piano tunes in the list below. To include the following tunes if you can play them but would also like anything similar or anything you can suggest which people can dance to.
1600 – finish for our dinner.
For the welcome drinks happy to leave it to you and your expertise of what will suit best, a mixture of classic ones and modern too and any requests you might get!
Walk in to Pachelbel Canon D. During the ceremony or signing the register, Air on a G String would be nice, I think. We will go inside after the ceremony and guests will walk around to the chapel, so perhaps A Wonderful World?
Elbow- One day like this.
Exit, elton John, crocodile Rock.
and then if you could just play some pretty classical music, maybe some tunes from the musicals?, as the guests leave for the drinks on the lawn and we go off for a quick 5 minute drive then you can head over to the singing to set up ready for the afternoon reception until 5.30pm.
During the reception and wedding breakfast we would like a variety of music – i.e modern stuff and classics.
Robbie Williams, Bruno Marrs, Paloma Faith, Ed Sherren etc and John Legend.
70’s. Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble or other “crooners”.
Robbie Williams, Bruno Marrs, Paloma Faith, Whitney Houston, Ed Sherren (but NOT “Thinking out Loud” and John Legend.
Phantom of the Opera, Lion King, Cats, Chess etc.
I love all dean martin and Frank sinatra songs also!!!
