The Wedding Ceremony
Live classical music played during the service will create a uniquely personal atmosphere at your wedding. The Galadriel Ensemble will play your choice of music to make your day special and memorable for many years. We are also happy to advise you on your music selections and help you decide upon pieces of music to suit you.
å Wedding Reception
Whilst your photographs are being taken, during the drinks reception or as a backdrop to the wedding breakfast the Galadriel Ensemble can provide an ideal ice-breaker and talking point for your guests, as well as adding to the atmosphere of your special occasion. Our selection of music here depends upon your musical choices and our adaptation to the mood of your friends and family.
Typically we would start with a selection of popular classical music, such as Vivaldi's Winter from the Four Seasons or Satie’s famous Gymnopedie, providing an air of classical elegance whilst you sip your first glasses of champagne.
If you fancy a change later though we could spice things up a bit with some spicy latin and jazzy cocktail music such as Blue Moon and the traditional 'Jealousy Tango.' The Galadriel Ensemble also plays arrangements of romantic pop ballads or music from West End shows and musicals.
