Most Requested Wedding Music

Any way you put it, choosing your wedding music can be a nerve-wracking experience. Your mom likes Dolly Parton, your Dad likes Steve Miller, your aunt likes Beethoven and your fiancee likes fishing...

How can you decide?

Here is a list of some of the most-requested classical music for weddings. The following selections are listed as suggestions only! You can choose any piece you like for anything you are planning to do. You could even ask us to arrange your favorite tune to be played! (For example, we once played "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones as a processional. It was great!)

To help you make these important decisions we also have a DVD available that shows the Bel Canto String Quartet playing portions of a number of these most-requested pieces.  Some are also available for download here on our site.
