Weddings

Brian is pleased to be able to offer guitar music for your wedding.  You are welcome to choose from his traditional wedding repertoire for the ceremony and he can also provide an instrumental backdrop for your reception.

Please call 905-852-6131 for inquiries and bookings.

For the service, there are generally four elements of a wedding ceremony that require music:
Pre-Service:  Background music played as guests arrive and are seated.
Processional:  Music to accompany the wedding party and bride as they proceed down the aisle to the altar.
Interludes:  Music that is played during non-speaking portions of the wedding service, e.g. candle lighting, communion, signing of the registry, etc.
Recessional:  Music played as the couple and wedding party leave the service.

Generally, Brian will choose the pre-service music from his repertoire of classical-style guitar pieces and is happy to choose all of the music, if desired.  Interlude music is not always required - you may want to discuss this with your officiant.
