REPERTOIRE LISTS
(for wedding ceremonies, cocktails and receptions)
If you are not familiar with classical music, I can walk you through the options and pass along some links and samples that will help. Also, keep in mind that most clients who decide on classical music for their ceremony leave the specific prelude selections (as guests arrive) up to me. That narrows your decision making responsibilities down to the specifics of the processional and recessional.
SOLO GUITAR (wedding ceremony repertoire)
This list contains popular selections for wedding ceremonies. If there are selections that you wish to have performed for your wedding that do not appear on this list, then please ask for them. Reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate such requests. (view other repertoire lists) or (go to solo guitar sound samples)
