Wedding Readings: Poetry and Prose for Church and Civil Weddings (Confetti Series - Mini Books)

by: Confetti

Release Date October 01, 2001
They say great things come in small packages and this is no exception. It doesn't matter how many books about wedding readings we read we never quite found a verse that said what we wanted to say exactly. If you are having a religous ceremony there is the pick of the best but also some very good verses that compliment a religious service and can be understood by all. Nothing ventured nothing gained, and if you're getting married...have a fabulous day!!

A Bride's Guide to Wedding Music

from: Naxos

Release Date May 05, 2003
It was only after I bought "A Bride's Guide to Wedding Music" that I then discovered "A Bride's Guide to Music for Civil Ceremonies" so if you come across the former first, be warned that it's meant for church weddings (although it doesn't specify this in the title!). The inlay inside however is quite clear that the music is meant predominatly for church weddings. Some very well known classics in here that have been heard in lager adverts to children's programmes and therefore nothing too original.

This book will really help you if you're stuck on ideas for wedding readings/vows. Our wedding is in 8 months time, so haven't chosen any readings as yet, but I'm sure that we will be referring to this book nearer to the time!

The Complete Wedding Album

by: Various Composers

Release Date April 04, 2001
Choosing wedding music had been getting a bit boring several CD's later and hearing the same old classics repeating themselves. After receiving this CD it gave my a lot of inspiration for music for a civil wedding. There were some well hidden gems in this including an instrumental of "Unchained Melody" which had everyone in tears, and Vivaldi's "Largo from Concerto for Guitar" which was beautiful. The CD offers a wide range of choice, so if you are looking specifically for a harp piece, or guitar peice, contemporary or piano, they are all segregated ready for you. This is the best wedding album I've come across so far.

The National Trust - the Wedding Album: Over Two Hours of the Most Romantic Wedding Music

by: Various Artists

Release Date March 07, 2005
I would not recommend you buy this CD. The first CD is based on church wedding music and the second on more popular first dance music. None of which are very romantic. It is not worth the money!!!!

Classic FM Weddings 2008 (2 Discs)

by: Various Artists

Release Date April 14, 2008

Weddings 2008 is Classic FM's third compilation album of the year, a timely release to help with the music choices for the summer wedding season. It's the second of their Wedding `Best Of' collection (the last one was Music for Weddings in 2006) and this time the clever marketing people at Classic FM have helpfully divided the music into church music and civil music, recognising the confusion that can exist when deciding which music is allowed at each ceremony. Sacred music, of any religion, is forbidden by law to be played at a civil wedding while the registrar is present.

This is helpful, considering many pieces traditionally associated with church ceremonies, such as Mendelssohn's `Wedding March' which evokes images of ... Read More:
