Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for music walking up the aisle, during ceremony or signing register? Don't want to be necessarily traditional so was thinking something like Enya or Enigma or similar. I like classical (Mozart, Tzchaikovsky sp?)too so any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'd say, go with a piece that you and your groom want. Maybe it's something that has special meaning to you, or maybe you just like the way it sounds. It's so hard to recommend a particular piece when everyone has different preferences. ie: I really like Pachelbel's Canon in D for a processional but I prefer traditional pieces.
I'm sure you will choose what is best for you.

Here's some more traditional pieces, just for ideas:
Air on G String & Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring -- Bach
Minuet -- Mozart
The Four Seasons -- Vivaldi (especially listen to "Winter")
Trumpet Tune -- Henry Purcell
Trumpet Voluntary -- Jeremiah Clarke (I think).

Awesome, thank you very much for your suggestions. I mean, I love classical music but to try and think of one to use is a bit daunting....there's so many!!! I will listen to all of your suggestions and pick one....thanks heaps!

If your looking for non-traditional music a great place to start is the New-Age section of your local music store. It's especially nice if they'll let you listen to the CD before you invest, a lot of places do this. Jim Brickman is one of my favorites, Enya is great, so is John London. My best friend used Enya's "Eden" to walk down the aisle, it was beautiful not a dry eye in the house.

Thanks! Im downloading Eden now so I can have a listen. We've been trying to find something from Enya but a lot is quite sad sounding, and the only other music we really like (Four Seasons) is used for a popular bank advertisement here! Will go to the CD store this week; thanks again.
