Louisa’s fine fiddling lends itself beautifully to wedding ceremonies. She has a broad selection of light classical pieces, traditional fiddle tunes and palm court selections such as waltzes, tangos, gypsy and jazz standard styles.
She usually plays for 30 minutes before the ceremony as people arrive, a processional piece when the bride arrives, a piece during the license signing, and a piece during the recessional or something exultant at the ceremony’s end; then pieces during the after-ceremony drinks and canapes.
Usually the couple elects a preferred style of music for the actual ceremony and Louisa does a mix of styles for the after-ceremony drinks. However, you can make other arrangements if you prefer.
Below are some samples of Louisa’s playing: Two partial light classical pieces and three traditional folk style tunes.
1. Menuet in G by Beethoven
2. Menuet by Telemann
3. Mairi’s Wedding (trad. Scottish)
4. Merrily Kiss The Quaker’s Wife (trad. jig)
5. The New Land (trad. style waltz)
