The Cambridge Guitarist Weddings

The classical guitar is a versatile instrument and Tim's repertoire includes classical, Spanish, flamenco, popular songs, traditional English and Celtic tunes, jazz standards and tunes from West End Shows. The guitar music helps to create the sense of occasion and the particular mood and atmosphere that you want for your special day.

Guitar music can be played for all or some of the Wedding Ceremony, the Drinks Reception and the Wedding Breakfast according to your needs.

The guitar music is played at the following stages of the Wedding Ceremony. You may also have music between readings or during a church communion.

Before the Wedding Service as your guests arrive and are seated
eg. a selection of light classical and traditional music and/or popular and Spanish

Entrance of the Bridal Party, the 'Processional'
eg. Bridal Chorus (Richard Wagner), Trumpet Voluntary (Clarke)

Signing of the Register
eg. Espanoleta (Sanz), Annie's Song (Denver), Tales from the Riverbank (Giuliani), Greensleeves (traditional), Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (Bach), La Paloma (Yradier)

Exit of the Bride and Groom, the 'Recessional'
eg. Ode to Joy (Beethoven), Mairi's Wedding (traditional Scottish), (Here Comes the Sun (Harrison), Air from the Water Music (Handel), Sevillanas (flamenco), Calipsito (Montes)

For the Drinks Reception, a selection of light classical and traditional music and / or popular and Spanish pieces. The music is played as the guests arrive and while they have the reception drinks and the photographers take pictures of the Bridal Party. If the weather is fine then the music can be played outdoors. The guitar is easy to carry and the guitarist can move indoors or outdoors as required on the day.

For the Wedding Breakfast, music can be provided as the guests take their places and during the meal, stopping when the cake is cut and when the speeches begin.

There are many pieces of music that can be played and you can discuss this with Tim. If there is a particular piece that you would like then it can usually be included on the day if there is enough time to learn it. See Tim's repertoire list for some ideas.
