Jaclyn-Thomas Wedding

Jaclyn and Thomas’ wedding ceremony took place in the west suburbs of Chicago. It was an incredibly hot summer day, but fortunately their wedding was in an air conditioned church. Jaclyn originally wanted to process in to Bridal Chorus and to take her first steps with her new husband to All You Need is Love (a surprise to Thomas), but she soon found out that the church did not allow certain music. The pieces they chose instead worked very well:

• Grandparents/Parents– Air from Water Music Suite (Handel)
• Bridesmaids Processional– Air on the G String (Bach)
• Bride– Canon in D (Pachelbel)
• Unity Candle– St. Anthony’s Chorale (Haydn)
• Recessional– Wedding March (Mendelssohn)

We played Arioso (Bach) per Jaclyn’s request during the prelude and the three requests they had for the postlude were: Hornpipe from Water Music Suite(Handel), Spring from the Four Seasons (Vivaldi), and Trumpet Tune (Purcell). These three postlude pieces are very celebratory and worked perfectly in the postlude.

The cocktail hour was a bit of a distance from the ceremony location, but it was beautiful and definitely worth the drive! We played jazz and swing music, per the couple’s request, as guests entered the mansion. Jaclyn also requested Stookey’sThe Wedding Song, for her mom, and the heretofore forbidden All You Need is Love for Thomas.

Congratulations Jaclyn and Thomas!
