This CD has a comprehensive selection of classic wedding music, beautifully arranged and performed. I intend to play it for background music at my wedding reception along with other classical CDs. It is also a good selection to keep in mind for music for the wedding ceremony itself, if you're on a budget and can't afford an organist or musicians. I would also like mention that it contains the most achingly lovely interpretation of Pachelbel's Canon in D that I have ever heard.

I am NOT a classic music fan but selection of the music in this CD is wonderful and beautifully elegantly recorded, appropriate upbeating with expecting excitement. I am mainly use this music for my ceremony. I especially love "Fanfare, Bridal Chorus" which I will use for the processional(how many times in life, I can get to show with "fanfare"), and "Horn music" which I will use for the recessional. Some of the others are good for the prelude, the candle ceremony, and communion. This CD will take care of all music for the ceremony. I just love the music!

This collection was my favorite of all the wedding collection CDs I bought for my wedding. The performances are all instrumentals performed mostly by string instruments. Very subtle - perfect for prelude selections.

This is basically a string quartet with brass when needed. The string pieces are all generally very good. The music was studio recorded, so the sound quality is very real. However, during many of the brass sections, the mics pic up the musicians taking breaths, which is annoying. My fiancee and I are thinking about using recorded music for our ceremony, but the breathing sounds may prevent using this particular CD. However,for the music itself, it is still better than a few other wedding CDs we have heard so far.

I listen to a lot of classical music so it was important to me that I find the perfect classical music CD for my wedding.

I thought this CD was OK but I found another CD on [Amazon.com] that was much better.

Its called "Classical Wedding Traditions"
This CD had the best Classical sound I have heard yet.

We used selections from this CD for my son's garden wedding in our back yard on September 8, 2001. The music is so beautiful I have been listening to it every day since then & was so inspired by it I have decided to take violin lessons.

I had my wedding outside, in a large gazebo, but did not have
the funds to hire a musican to play traditional wedding songs at my ceremony. I also wanted the traditional "Here Comes The Bride" with out worring how it would sound for certain instruments. 'Classical Wedding' was WONDERFUL alternative and made my outdoor garden wedding spectacular!

This CD contains such beautiful music! My fiance and I are going to be married outside on the cliffs overlooking the beach, and this CD will be perfect for that walk down the aisle. Before I purchased this album, I practiced "walking down the aisle" to get a feel for the music with the music samples provided, and I knew it was the perfect album when it brought tears to my eyes. It is perfect because it sounds just like an actual string quartet and trumpet are there in front of you. I am not normally such a big fan of wedding music because I don't favor the traditional organs and trumpets and all of that "churchy" music, but this album is absolutely wonderful! I know that this will be a CD that I will reach for again and again even after my wedding for true nostalgia and remembrance. Truly beautiful music, it is the perfect collection of wedding songs. You will have to hear for yourself the beauty of the music on this CD. If you do decide to purchase this album, you will not be disappointed.

This is a nice CD
It gave us some good ideas.
However the one we used at the wedding was
"Classical Wedding Traditions" (on amazon.com)
This CD gave us a better overall sound and selection.
We also found on amazon.com the "New Wedding Traditions Volume I" CD for our father/bride and mother/groom songs.

I love all the pieces on this CD. I can't wait to use it at my wedding ceremony. It's also a nice CD to listen to after a long day at work.
