Wedding Music Selection Help

Once you have an idea of that music you would like to have during your ceremony, please click here to check out the Windy City Brass Wedding Worksheet

The purpose of this page is to provide assistance as you are planning your wedding. The "Listen" links noted below are not recordings as performed by the Windy City Brass. Rather, the links are just meant to provide you with a quick sample of some of the more frequently-used pieces within the standard wedding repertoire. The Windy City Brass music library contains each of these pieces, and others that are not listed here.

And the list of pieces below are just noted as possible suggestions - you can absolutely ask for special or unique pieces to be played at your ceremony, regardless of what is on the list below. Also, please note that many of the pieces can be used during different parts of the ceremony. I've just listed a few suggestions in the sections where we have often played them in the past to get you started.

Enjoy!
