Weddings & Receptions

Greenblatt & Seay have played countless weddings and receptions since playing at their own in 1978. Often they’ll start with uplifting hammered dulcimer tunes while guests arrive. When time to seat the family they’ll switch to violin and guitar. Other instruments may be featured for specific points during the ceremony. Besides classical, old-time fiddle, and Renaissance styles, music from many cultures, i.e. Irish, Jewish, Swedish, etc. may be featured.

Some of the most requested tunes for weddings include Pachelbel’s “Canon”, Purcell’s “Trumpet Tune”, Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March”, and Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus”.
