Classical Musicians
Classical musicians always add an air of sophistication, romance and tradition to any
wedding's ceremony music. There are several varied styles of classical music you may want
to consider when selecting music for your wedding ceremony. A piece such as “Canon in D
Major” by Pachelbel is probably the most popular processional music for weddings.
Band Musicians Offer Flexibility
Many ceremonies are also performed by the keyboardist and trumpet player from the band
who will later play dance music at the reception. These musicians can perform classical
pieces using orchestral sounds, in addition to the flautist. They can then switch to jazz piano
and sax for the cocktail hour, in contrast to the ceremony music. It can also be more cost
effective to use the musicians from Deja Groove for your wedding ceremony. We gladly offer
these services as long as your ceremony & reception are in the same location.
