Pre-Ceremony Music
Pre-ceremony music usually consists of about 20 minutes of music performed while guests arrive and are being seated. If you do not have particular requests for this music, select a category of music you would like performed. We suggest a combination of light classical music and gentle Celtic tunes. The seating of the parents and grandparents usually marks the end of the pre-ceremony music.

Processional Music
The processional music usually begins when the officiant and the groom enter, although sometimes they entire during the final pre-ceremony selection. The bridesmaids (along with the groomsmen who may accompany them) enter during the processional selection. The music creates an important cue for the audience by significantly rising in majesty as the bride makes her entrance.

During the Wedding
Music is sometimes incorporated as part of the wedding, particularly if there is a lighting of a unity candle or during communion. The lighting of a unity candle usually requires an extremely short piece, usually no more than 30-45 seconds, while communion requires a piece that can be extended as needed.

Recessional Music
This is usually a triumphant, quickly-paced piece performed as the newlyweds walk up the aisle as husband and wife, followed by the wedding party.

Post-Ceremony Music
Like the pre-ceremony music, post-ceremony music provides about 10 minutes of background atmosphere as guests file out.

We have performed for weddings and receptions not only in churches throughout Kansas & Missouri, but also in a lovely banquet facility overlooking Parkville (Missouri), on the shore of a lake (Wisconsin), in the ballroom of a grand old hotel (downtown Kansas City), in a dance hall (Manhattan), in a magnificently restored mansion (Omaha), in a hunting lodge (Ft. Leavenworth), in an historic stone chapel (Baldwin), in an old school house (west of Lawrence), and in more parks & backyards than we can count. We've even played for a couple of weddings at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival where the wedding party dressed in period outfits. It's YOUR day, so just let us know what you want.

Our usual fee is $250 for a wedding, $300 for a reception, or both for $400. All of these require the first $100 as a deposit. For people on a smaller budget, we are also available individually for $150 (wedding), $200 (reception) or both ($300). Cordelia performs solo on piano, violin and harp. Larry performs solo on piano and classical guitar.
