Christina Rhys
Harpist

This is a list of suggestions of music for wedding ceremonies.
These pieces are all suitable for civil ceremonies, although the music highlighted in italics may not be allowed by some registrars. 
Many other pieces are possible; this is just a popular selection.

Choose one piece for the entrance, two pieces for signing of the register and one piece for the couple’s exit. I also play for 10-15 minutes pre-ceremony as guests assemble.
