The beach wedding ceremony music you choose has the power to lift the senses and to set the tone for what your guests are about to see and experience.

First you need to choose how your would like your beach wedding ceremony music to be played - live or recorded. There are endless possibilities and the only limitation would be cost.

You can choose anything from steel drums, a marimba band, choir or a solo vocalist to a string trio, solo sax or a recording.

There are many pieces of music both classical and contemporary that is appropriate for your beach ceremony. Think anything contemporary, light and airy. Something that reminds you of summer! Here are a few examples:

Classical Beach Wedding Ceremony Music:

Classical music tends to be a little formal for a beach ceremony, unless it will be in a church and you just have a seaside theme and perhaps a reception or cocktail hour on the beach.

There are however a few pieces (some traditional ceremony songs, and some not) that are light and airy and will suit a beach wedding ceremony just fine. Choose from the following:

Air From Water Music - Handel

Canon in D - Pachelbel

Flower Duet - Leo Delibes

Spring - Vivaldi

Lullaby - Bond (Canon in D with a little Pick-Me-Up)

Summertime - Gershwin
