Here are a few examples, but we are not limited to these songs. We can usually put together just about anything you choose if a cd or music is provided. If you don’t have ideas but just want ‘something pretty’, we can offer suggestions.

If piano or organ is requested, we can use what is available, or provide a keyboard.

Other instruments are guitar, fiddle (violin), banjo, mandolin, autoharp, mountain dulcimer.

If we are playing at the reception, the wedding party is welcome to use our sound system for toasts and announcements.

At the reception, we can also teach easy square dances which everyone can do, even those who have never danced before. You are not necessarily in a square – just oldtime dances. Some are in a circle, some in lines, some in squares. This can be a good mixer for families who don’t know each other well. All ages can participate. We even have a ‘sitting square dance’ and sitting waltzes for those who can’t dance standing up.

Fees vary according to distance we must travel and the number of people in the band.
