Palmer Building

Another great wedding at The Palmer Building ! I’ve played here a few times, and I love the setting and historic (!) charm.

The bride and groom made some excellent music choices, if I do say so! Being music enthusiasts and Beatles fans, they asked for some classic Lennon/McCartney tunes for their big day:

Prelude ~ Here I played a mix of modern love songs and Beatles: Marry Me (Train), I’ll Be (Edwin McCain), Girl, Nothin’s Gonna Change My Mind

Seating of Parents ~ Because (Beatles)

Attendants’ Processional ~ A Little Help From My Friends (Beatles)

Bride’s Entrance ~ Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Recessional ~ All My Lovin’ (Beatles)

Carmel Baptist Church, Napa On Providence, Vow Renewal Ceremony

So beautiful to celebrate 15 years of marriage with this family! A small, intimate ceremony at Carmel Baptist Church, the couple affirmed their love for each other with vows they had written themselves – so touching!

The family requested classical music for their big night. Canon in D (Pachelbel) and Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring (Bach) were both played for the ceremony, as well as Till There Was You, which I played behind a picture slide show.

After the ceremony, I headed over to Napa On Providence to play for the dinner party. I included Musetta’s Waltz and O Mio Babbino Caro by request 🙂

A beautiful night!!
