Phil and Joleen's Wedding Music Helper
(FAQs and song list; contact form is soon to come)

What music should we have in the wedding?
We play many of the traditional standard songs, plus we can suggest many other well-loved pieces as processional and recessional music, as well as background music for candle lightings, and featured vocal songs. See sample list below.

Can you play the Bridal March on the guitar?
We do play The Bridal March arranged for one or two guitars. Listen to all songs by clicking on the links below.

Do we need to have you at the rehearsal?
Usually we do not need to attend the rehearsal, if you provide us with a detailed schedule of the ceremony.

What about sound equipment?
For outdoor ceremonies without access to power we can use our battery-powered sound system. In most other settings, solo, duo or with a band, we use the unique Bose Personal Audio System. It is a state-of-the-art sound system for both weddings and receptions.

Should we meet to discuss the details?
Most details can be ironed out over the phone or by email, and our songs can be heard on the web. But we will be glad to meet with you if need be.

Can we record your performance in our ceremony?
Yes, absolutely.
