Top Ceremony Musical Favorites
Over the years, Kerena and I have been asked to perform a variety of music ranging from traditional Bach pieces to songs from the Beatles. Each musical piece is a personal reflection of the unique style and taste of the bride and groom. Although there are hundreds of selections of music in our repertoire, we wanted to share with you the most requested and popular selections of music from our most recent wedding seasons.
