Patrick and Shanti had a beautiful New Years Eve wedding ceremony at the beautiful and spacious Grace Covenant Church in Cornelius, NC. Flutist, Emily Higgins and I did the music for the ceremony. We played many classical favorites for the prelude such as Gymnopedie by Satie and Schubert's Ave Maria. The mothers and grandmothers were seated to Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by J.S. Bach and the wedding party entered to Canon in D by Pachelbel. The bride made her grand entrance to Trumpet Voluntary. Since the space was so large, the church sound technician amplified our sound with a microphone and the sound filled the space perfectly. The ceremony was directed by Rosemary Reeves, who directs many weddings for Grace Covenant. She was a pleasure to work with and even provided me with a headset so that I could stay in constant contact with her. This feature is certainly not necessary, but is a great idea that I hope other wedding directors will consider!
The couple chose Simple Gifts as their recessional. Emily and I arranged this for flute and harp and it was very uplifting and joyful, perfect for a recessional!
