Customer Reviews

Makes selecting your wedding music easy!
This CD includes a nice selection of classical wedding music. When I ordered, I had no idea of what music I wanted or even how to select appropriate music. The accompanying guide breaks down each part of the ceremony and makes it easy to select the right song(s), from the prelude to the postlude, and everything in between. It even includes tips for music during the ceremony, if you so desire. Worth buying even if you plan to hire a DJ!

nice selections for weddings
We had an outdoor wedding and used this CD, along with one other CD (The Complete Wedding Album), for our music selections. Between the two CDs - we had all of our pre-wedding music and our processionals covered. I preferred the Chorus on this CD to the other. Between the two, there was a nice selection of various, popular choices for modern and classic weddings.

THE KNOT COLLECTION
An excellent CD - an absolute must for all brides-to-be and music lovers - full of joyful music and extremely uplifting. I wish I had known about this CD before I married as I could have made such an entrance accompanied by John Stanley's Trumpet Voluntary which, although little known, is an absolute gem of a masterpiece. I love this CD. It has favourites and rarities and no collection should be without it.
