The act
Personalised arrangements and music for specific ceremony moments are central to River Suite's wedding offering. The hour long ceremony package includes background music for arriving guests, followed by special requests for the bridal party entrance and signing of the register. Requests can also accompany the announcement of the married couple and bridal party exit, with upbeat celebratory music afterwards. Twenty years of professional experience sits behind the performance, giving you another point to consider alongside the personalised musical approach. Enquire here for the repertoire list and discuss the songs you would like to connect with those moments in your ceremony.

Good to know
What to expect
Twenty years of professional playing behind the bow, and the practical result is punctuality, polish and an ambience that suits the moment rather than fighting it. Arrangements are written for your ceremony, not lifted from a standard list, which is why the communication before the day matters as much as the playing on it. You'll know what's happening and when. Special requests are genuinely welcome.
On the day
Setup happens fifteen minutes before the performance starts. Acoustic playing needs no power at all, so an outdoor ceremony under a tree is no harder than a chapel. If the space is large or noisy enough to need it, amplification is brought along and used.
Performance options
The one hour ceremony package opens with fifteen minutes of background music as guests arrive, then covers the bridal party entrance, the signing of the register, and the announcement and exit of the married couple, each with your own song choice. It finishes with ten minutes of something upbeat while everyone finds each other. A repertoire list is sent across when you ask for it.
