Music for any wedding or civil partnership music for ceremonies and wedding receptions in Essex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire, Hampshire and other areas of the UK Eugene can play for your ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast.   Wedding and Civil Partnership Ceremonies Please visit my Ceremony Music Site if you need more help. Over the past ten years there has been an increase in civil ceremonies for weddings as well as the introduction of the civil partnership ceremony. Most venues now have a licence for civil ceremonies which means that the entire wedding or civil partnership can take place at one venue. Eugene can provide either classical or light music for your ceremony and can help you with your choice of music for each section of the proceedings. A piano can also act as a focal point for you wedding day and can certainly add something special to your event. Most couples prefer classical music for the ceremony and Something lighter for the rest of the day. What follows is a few classical pieces that I have used at weddings. You can either play the pieces by simply left clicking on the play icons, or you can download them by right clicking on the highlighted titles and choosing the save option. The method of download differs slightly depending on the browser that you are using.   Albeniz Cadiz Tango in D Chopin Waltz in Db Op. 70 No. 3 Debussy 1st Arabesque Clair De Lune (Suite Bergamasque) Delius Prelude No.1 Prelude No.2 Prelude No.3 All three preludes as one MP3 HERE Einaudi Le Onde Ireland The Towing Path MacDowell To A Wild Rose Mayerl Autumn Crocus Marigold Mendelssohn Wedding March Pachelbel Canon in D Rachmaninoff 18th Variation from Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini Satie 1st Gymnopedie 2nd Gymnopedie 3rd Gymnopedie Wagner Bridal Chorus     Please visit the classical music page for more a more comprehensive list of classical music that I have used for wedding ceremonies.   The Drinks Reception The drinks reception follows the ceremony and is usually quite a jovial affair. Up tempo music is usually the order of the day for this part of the day's proceedings and the piano, bass and drums line up works well.   The Wedding Breakfast The wedding breakfast follows the drinks reception and Eugene usually has to provide music that is more gentle in nature and inobtrusive. The idea is to allow people to talk and make conversation.   The Evening Reception Couples frequently have a disco for this part of the day but this isn't always the best choice. Have a look at the approximate ages of your guests and let that be the deciding factor in your choice of entertainment. Ask yourself whether you think your guests would like to talk or whether they would really enjoy a loud disco. More and more people are making different choices these days and are frequently going for a celidh band or a jazz band. Some are even booking Eugene as a solo pianist for evening receptions.   Eugene can provide music for any of the above as either a solo pianist, trio or jazz band. He can also easily relocate to different areas of the venue for the various parts of the day's proceedings. He can even set up a digital piano outside and provide a gazebo if needed.
