This is not an exhaustive list, but a compilation of sound clips of commonly requested music for weddings. You are not limited to just the pieces listed in the repertoire, but rather, it is a springboard for ideas. I'd be happy to design a program specifically tailored to your event and needs. See playlists for a more detailed list of ideas.

If you have a number of favorite pieces, I can create a custom medley/mix/blend/mash-up for a unique wedding processional or recessional!
