CHOOSING MUSIC FOR YOUR WEDDING
AT ALL SAINTS WHITSTABLE
ORGAN MUSIC - if you wish to book the organ for your wedding rather than use prerecorded music from one of your favourite artists (which we provide via Itunes and burn onto CD for you) here are some suggestions.
Live organ music sounds really good at All Saints and we do recommend you consider having the organ. Here are some suggested pieces.
It is of course fine to have a combination of CD music and organ music too. We do not live stream music in case of any internet issues on the day. This is why we use CDs.
It is fine to provide a live performer on the day. Do let us know about this. Do remember we provide a choir if you wish for additional payment - this is usually a choir made up of 10 singers from various churches in the Whitstable Team.
Music for the Entrance of the Bride - please click on Youtube links
C: The Prince of Denmark’s March by Clarke
D: The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba by Handel
Music for Departure of the Couple
F: Wedding March - Mendelssohn G: Toccata from Symphony 5 – Widor
H: Ode to Joy – Beethoven
I: Hornpipe from Handel’s Water Music
HYMNS - He suggest three hymns for your wedding. Here are some suggestions.
Hymns involve the congregation in the service and also mean that when the bride and groom move to various places in the church this is done during a hymn which tends to work better.
Love Divine All Loves Excelling – tune Blaernwern or tune Love Divine
Praise my soul the King of Heaven
O Jesus I have promised – tune Thornbury or Appleford
Guide me O Thou Great Redeemer
Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
DURING SIGNING OF THE REGISTER
If you have booked the organist you can simply ask them to choose a selection of pieces of their own choice or you let us know what prerecorded songs you would like by an artist of your own choice and we will play them on CD for you. You have about 8 minutes to fill.
