Guitar/Violin songs for ceremony

Hello all! I need help picking some songs for my ceremony. We are having a guitar/violin duo and I'm not sure what songs would work well.  I like Canon in D and think I am going to walk down the aisle to that one. I don't really like the wedding march but need some more ideas. thanks for your help- any and all suggestions are appreciated!!!

Re: Guitar/Violin songs for ceremony

  • When you buy sheet music, get piano. Sheetmusicplus.com is a great place to start. Almost every piano piece you buy has guitar tabs and vocals (if it's a vocal piece). The guitarist will read the guitar tab (which will mostly be improvisation) and the violinist can either read the vocal line or the soprano in the piano. 

    Are you wanting something more traditional or? For traditional you could do Spring by Vivaldi, Ode to Joy by Beethoven, Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 Allegro or No. 4 Allegro by Bach. 
    Signed Sealed Deliever - Stevie Wonder
    All you need it Love - Beatles 
    Beautiful Day - U2
    Oh you pretty things - David Bowie

  • Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 is a beautiful song. I'm sure there is music for violins and the guitarist could improvise with the sheet music as well.
  • I am also going to have a guitar and violin at my ceremony.  Don't have all songs picked and I know there will be some more traditional songs, but we are processing to Make You Feel My Love (Dylan) and recessing to I'm Yours (Jason Mraz)

  • I  play violin and for a friend's wedding, I did Bittersweet Symphony with my friend on guitar.  Just the intro part.  Turned out pretty well.

    we are substituting an electric guitar for the first violin part for our processional, since I could only get 3 string players (I'm usually the 4th).  They will be playing Don't Stop Believing.
