Yesterday we went to the gorgeous Ballyseede Castle in Tralee, Co. Kerry for Christine and Ray's wedding. Christine came across us at the Southern Brides Showcase at Silver Springs Hotel in Cork in September, and booked us shortly after. It later transpired that we live in the same town in County Cork, so we also got a chance to meet up for a chat about the music, and Christine and Ray had some great ideas! They picked a wide selection of classical music and also wanted some hymns that those attending the ceremony could sing along to. Here's the music we played for the ceremony:
Entrance: Pachelbel's Canon
Hymn no.1: You Fill Up My Senses (Annie's Song) by John Denver
Hymn. no.2: All Things Bright and Beautiful
Candle Ceremony: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach
Signing of the Certificate: Water Music by Handel
Recessional: Arrival of the Queen of Sheba by Handel
The ceremony was officiated by Gabrielle of A Beautiful Ceremony - she is the mother in law of Romy who we worked with last week, it's a small world!
We then stayed for the drinks reception where we sat on some very fancy furniture, playing through the classics and two new additions for the occasion: Zadok the Priest by Handel (better known as the Champions League theme tune!) and the title theme from Downton Abbey, a very fitting piece for the location!
We had a fantastic day, and really enjoyed the trip down to Kerry in the sunshine. The venue was beautiful, everybody looked fantastic and I'm sure they had a wonderful evening!
Thank you so much Christine and Ray for having us at your wedding. It's been a pleasure getting to know you two, all the very best wishes for the future, from all of us at Here Comes The Trio!
