Looking for Instrumental Wedding Music?

To be sure, there is a wide range of instrumental wedding music available! Most church weddings rely primarily on the organ or piano to provide the majority of their wedding music. Some couples choose to include another instrument for that extra special touch. For example, it could be a trumpet to herald the bride's entrance or a bagpipe for a Celtic flavor!

On the other hand, some bridal couples forego the traditional organ and piano and may opt, for example, for a string quartet or harp for all of their wedding music.

At any rate, there are plenty of options! At the bottom of this page, instrumental wedding music has been broken down into specific instrument categories.

However, before moving on to those, a couple of general instrumental CDs are worth mentioning. By the way, the word "general" here refers to CDs that feature a variety of musical instruments.

For instance, Silverwood Ensemble's Here Comes The Bride contains 53 classics played by strings, flute, piano, organ, guitar and voice, for a playing time of about 2 and 1/2 hours. The quality seems excellent!

Another CD to consider is A Bride's Guide to Classical Wedding Music by the Barrymoore Chamber Orchestra. It contains 18 songs and represents a good mix of classical wedding music favorites. Again, a wide range of musical instruments are present on the CD including, but not limited to, the violin, guitar, lute and mandolin!

A Bride's Guide To Wedding Music is a 3-set CD collection that contains 61 classical pieces suitable for wedding and features organ, piano, trumpet, voice and stringed instruments. Quite a selection!
