My wife .... and I
recently hired Flutes of Fancy to play .... at our wedding ceremony in La
Jolla. Their lovely playing add such an air of beauty and grace to the
entire proceedings! Bert and Dorothy are such consummate professionals
that I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend them or use them again
for some other reason. Thank you Bert and Dorothy! (2012 Wedding) Dorothy and Bert of Flutes and Fancy were very accommodating in all communications and worked with us to produce the best playlist for us for our wedding. They blended classical wedding songs with their Irish music to create a wonderful melody. Our guests loved them! And they arrived in costume for our Renaissance Irish theme (2013 St. Patrick's Day Wedding) |

"Your music was very
much enjoyed, and we're very appreciative of your time working with you on
the set list. My parents loved your playing and were grateful that it
wasn't loud contemporary music. It was just lovely and really added
something special to our reception.....I hope to find reason to hire you
again in the future!...."
(December 2008 wedding reception)
"Thank you for making our wedding day so special. It was a dream come true." |

If you are having a Southern California destination wedding and wondering how to plan your wedding music, look no further. Selecting ceremony music will be easy and enjoyable using our ceremony music planning sheet and the flutes of fancy sound samples provided below. flutes of fancy's music is well suited to intimate venues: small- to medium-sized churches, chapels, homes, gazebos, and courtyards. We generally do not amplify our music, and our delicate sound and instruments require protection from elements such as excessive sunlight, moisture, or ocean breezes. Our repertory contains music suitable for traditional as well as Renaissance and Celtic theme weddings. Our sheet music library includes Renaissance, Baroque, light classical, and folk music. We love to explore new repertory, and our library is constantly expanding! For brides and grooms who would like to include contemporary ballads or folkloric music in their prelude, cocktail hour, or dinner hour, please check out the new column to the right, which has links to new categories. We will be pleased to customize our repertory to your event and can consult by telephone or e-mail about your wedding. Use our calendar link to check which dates are available. Your wedding date will confirmed after we receive your signed Performance Agreement and deposit. For more information about our wedding services, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions. |

The
processional and recessional selections on this page are mainly from
Classical and Baroque traditions and have stood the test of
centuries. They are elegant, impeccable choices for your ceremony.
However, many of today's brides and grooms would like to customize their wedding or reception by adding some contemporary music or perhaps music that honors their heritage. Those familiar with this website already know we have a vast collection of Celtic and Old English music for performance, both collected and arranged ourselves. This is one of our specialties. However, we've recently had inquiries about other diverse genres. To address this, we've created additional music categories that can be incorporated in your wedding reception. We've combed our music library and created lists to show you what other types of music are available for your wedding or event. The music on these lists includes duos and solos that can be included in your wedding prelude or cocktail/dinner hour. Contemporary: Includes selections from the musical theatre, nostalgic American music, Beatles tunes |

Below you can preview 15 processionals and 9 recessionals. We hope you enjoy sampling the variety of options available for your ceremony music. Two of the processionals below are given with alternate instrumentations: violin/recorder or two recorders. Purcell's Trumpet Tune is effective both as a processional and recessional and is therefore listed in both categories. For the bride and groom desiring seeking unique music that is also lovely and ceremonial, we include some lesser-known selections. Additional music in this category can be heard on our Renaissance Wedding page. If you are having a traditional wedding and are seeking the most requested and time-honored ceremony music choices, just look for these icons: |
