A Bride's Guide to Wedding Music

The process of choosing music for a wedding day can certainly be a daunting process for any couple. There are many choices and the questions can be endless. Traditional music or something off the beaten path? Will your Mom cry (and not in a good way) if you do not come down the aisle to the traditional Wedding March from Wagner, or are you eager to try something new? This collection is designed to give the bridal couple some key pointers to navigate the world of classical music for their wedding day. The package includes over 3 1/2 hours of music on 3 CDs for all portions of the wedding service, all from the Naxos classical label (known for high-quality recordings at inexpensive prices). Wedding day favorites are there, along with new discoveries and tunes you may have never considered for a wedding. All pieces are hand selected by professional wedding musicians and consultants. As a bonus, the 20 page booklet will lead you through the process of choosing music, from hiring musicians to sample programs. Everything you need to create your own unique personal wedding soundtrack. Album Description

Nice CD offering a sample of a lot of peices

If you're looking for full pieces, look at other CDs. This one gives relatively small offerings of various pieces, which is awesome if you're just trying to listen to a bunch of selections in hopes of finding the 'right' one. Check it out if you have a wedding on the horizon, need to pick a piece for your wedding, and have $10 to spare. August 30, 2008

Where is Beethoven's Ode to Joy?

This CD sounds wonderful and I'll probably buy it just for the music. When my husband and I got married 23 years ago, I didn't want the "typical" wedding music. I bought an album with different songs, but it wasn't as extensive as this CD. The music we picked for walking back down the aisle after the ceremony was Beethoven's Ode to Joy. It was beautiful. Two couples who married later that year also used Ode to Joy. It was a nice compliment. July 5, 2008

Great Help for doing Weddings

Being a sound tech at my church this CD comes is great for anything that may come along. I've had weddings where the couple didn't even have any music picked out and I can use this CD for everything. It's in my Ipod so I have all 3 discs available to fill in any music that I would need. May 18, 2008

New packaging is beautiful!

I recently re-purchased this item, since I lost the first copy I had - oops! But, I was happy to buy it again once I saw the pretty new packaging! This new version has a little booklet that gives wedding planning tips and has a nice package for the discs too! March 12, 2008

A must have in your music library

I had ordered this cd on the recommendation of the musical director from my Church who has quite an extensive international background. I mistakenly thought I would just use it to pick out songs for the ceremony portion of my wedding. It turns out it has so many classical songs from Bach and many other artists. I listen to it often because the music is so beautiful.

I recommend it to anyone who likes classical music or would like a sampler of some of the great composers and artists. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. November 13, 2007
