Wedding Music at Sunriver Oregon

Along with cellist Amy Mitchell, I have a wedding band that plays at ceremonies and receptions throughout Oregon. We’re called The Ashlings, which means “dream” in Irish, and we play all the classical favorites like Pachelbel’s Canon and Faure’s Pavane, as well as really cool versions of Aeroplane Over the Sea (Neutral Milk Hotel), Just Like Heaven (The Cure), and Wonderwall (Oasis), to name a few.
Last week we played at Sunriver Resort in the Great Room. Amy is also in a wedding string quartet and has played this room many times and kept telling me how magical it is in the winter time. It’s decorated with white lights and candles, and white flower peddles and there is huge wood fire burning at the center of the room.

The bride Sarah, requested Pachelbel’s at the processional and then Ave Maria during the vows and candle lighting. While it was somewhat of a challenge for me to learn Ave on the guitar with short notice, Amy has played it a hundred times and pulled it off beautifully on her electric cello. For days, this epic song has been stuck in my head and it fit in perfectly at that moment of the ceremony. We ended the night with the theme song from Masterpiece Theatre, which is actually an oft requested recessional piece.
The photographer that evening was Kimberly Kay Photography and you can see some examples of her work throughout this article and more photos of the wedding of Sarah & Alex at the Great Hall in Sunriver OR on her blog.
