Following are songs that I have sung or played at weddings (pre-ceremony, processional, ceremony, recessional, post-ceremony included in cocktail hour or reception). All of these have been requested at some time or another; I have provided music at weddings since the early 1970's. I'm playing more ukulele these days, beach weddings and all.
I am updating this list all of the time, as I usually learn one or two new songs for each wedding -- I like to personalize the music for the bride and groom, especially songs that are meaningful to them. Browse through, if there is something you don't see that you would like at your wedding, no matter how unconventional you may think it is, I'm happy to learn it!!
