What music to play at wedding?

[M Fowler]

How about a good acoustic version of "Another Piece of Meat" by the Scorpions?

Yah okay I'm working that up right now.

I'm trying to track down a Crate Taxi 15w battery powered amp to use at the wedding from any local sources before I decide to buy one.

Well my FB friend Clyde Richardson said he has a barely used 30w version in his studio I could buy, just might go for it.

Whatever you do, do not play Pachelbel’s Canon in D.

It seems like every wedding I have been to in the last two decades has used that piece of music.


For once I would like to attend a non traditional wedding where it is fun!

Tom, don't know if you watched the youtube link I posted earlier. It's a hilarious rant on all the songs based on that chord progression.

Chord melodies ,Just finished learning Somewhere over the rainbow,you tube has a ton of guitar songs/lessons.I played last summer for a wedding,did the cannon in d and a few Beatles tunes.nobody was really listening .Did mood for a day Steve Howe tune,got all worked up a nervous for nothin.You will do fine Mark.I ended up just messin around,creed tune as well.it be nice if you could get another player and play some soft kinda leads while the other guy is playing chords.Looks like you got a lot of ideas from this thread,Mikey

Noel Paul Stookey's Wedding Song is a nice one. Played it for my own wedding coming up on 30 years ago. I've been requested to do it at 3 others since. 12 string if you have it.

Oh, and for a friend's wedding in Phoenix, I was short on instrumental, so I played a fingerstyle Willin'' without singing for a recessional. Most people didn't catch it, but a mutual friend of the groom remarked he'd never heard it played at a wedding before. For a long marriage you have to be willin'.

Henry Purcell's "Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary". It's got a nice slow march too it and is fitting for the occasion.

Man that is born of a woman
hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery.
He cometh up, and is cut down like a flow'r.
He flee'th as it were a shadow,
and ne'er continueth in one stay.
