notes

A romantic compilation of the Brobdingnagian Bards most romantic songs. Includes fifteen great tracks of classic music for a wedding, like Pachelbel Canon in F - Variations and The Bridal Chorus by Wagner. Plus, you'll find some beautiful original Celtic instrumentals and very romantic vocal ballads, including music by Chet Atkins and Clannad.

The Brobdingnagian Bards (pronounced brAHb'ding-näg-EE-en) are The Original Celtic Renaissance. They perform a unique style of Celtic folk music that they like to call "a Renaissance in Celtic music". Ask their fans though, and they'll tell you the music is just plain "fun!" With six studio albums completed in just five years, combined with ten other compilations, singles and EPs, they've been called one of the most-productive Celtic groups around. But Andrew and Marc just love playing the music.

"We had planned on having a string quartet at our wedding. While looking on the web for groups, we ran across The Bards. We immediately called Karen's dad, since he was footing the bill, and played Tolkien over the phone. It was an instant hit and we later chose it as the solo for our wedding ceremony. We decided to be a little different and use Maids in the Meadow for the recessional. It was wonderful!"
--Karen and Erik Hayden, Newlyweds

  • A Celtic Renaissance Wedding
    author: Paula Miller

    This CD by the Brobdingnagian Bards is absolutely perfect for my July 2nd wedding. My fiance and I are both in our early 60's and this is a second marriage for each of us. (Each of us was married for over 30 years the first time, his ending in death and mine in divorce. We wanted something very different for a small, intimate, immediate family wedding in a small quaint chapel. This definitely fit the bill and we love it. Ron and Paula (Miller) McGarrah

  • Bridal Chorus - Wow!
    author: DJ

    I am having a celtic themed wedding, complete with handfasting and I've been hunting all over for the perfect song to walk down the aisle to that would match the style of our ceremony. Your bridal chorus song was IT!!! Thank you so very much.

  • LOVE IT
    author: Erin Behan

    I have been searching for the perfect song to walk down the aisle to. I came across your website and heard the Bridal Chorus and it brought a tear to my eye, I knew then that was the perfect song for me. Thank you so much.

  • Have to Buy The CD.
    author: Patrick Mahoney

    Loved having The Bards play at our St. Patrick's day Wedding. I have to buy the CD to remember it better. We all had fun I hear. Who needs a piper, we had the Bards! (They are great to have around when the bride is late!)

  • A Celtic Renaissance Wedding
    author: Kathleen Weber

    Love this CD. We used the Shepherd's Serenade for a wedding slideshow and the grandparents and mothers of the bride/groom walked down the aisle to Tolkien. Everyone commented on how much they liked the music. Thank you so much!

  • Beautiful! Will top my wedding perfectly.
    author: Tammy

    This CD creats a happy, romantic, fun mood that is perfect for a Renaissance wedding.

  • Shame I did not heard of this guys earlier
    author: Keltickitten from Belgium

    I love the CD. Frankly I just stumbled on their website a couple of months ago, looking for something new as a celtic music lover. Since then I guess I sort of collected all their CD's still available. And I admit: I am not dissapointed. I can advice them to everybody that loves traditional music, but is sort of tired of hearing it copied all the time in the same way. These guys give it a nice, unique twist of it's own.

  • PERFECT!!
    author: Brobdingnagian Bards: A Celtic Renaissance Wedding

    Coming from a big Irish family and having a garden wedding, the bridal march is perfect!! The rest of the CD will be played as guests are arriving and sporadically through the reception. I am so glad that we found this!

  • AWESOME!
    author: Kim

    Got the CD for the Bride Chorus to walk down the isle to. My husband to be is irish and I'm celtic so this will add just the right touch to our ceremony! Plus we'll play the rest of the CD as our dinner music at our reception dinner. Thanks again.

  • Finally, my love expressed in song!
    author: Bob of the Midwest

    What can I say? Wild Mountain Thyme will be played at my funeral. Jedi drinking song will be at my wake. I've been sharing this CD with friends, family, and complete strangers since I received it in the mail. Marc Gunn was even nice enough to email me. This CD, I would mail to all heads of state around the world in hopes of promoting peace and celtic festivals.

    author: Teresa and Mike

    We had a renaissance wedding on March 3rd and had a hard time finding music that we liked for the wedding itself. This CD was great and the Wedding march really set the tone for the enitre ceremony and following reception.

  • STOKED!!!!!
    author: Stephanie

    My daughter loves celtic music, as do I. When I did a search and found the CD's, I was so excited. It was nice to be able to listen for ourselves to the music so we didn't have to guess. I sent her the link (she's on the other side of the country) and she loved it a much as I did. I ordered it and it came right away. You guys have this down! She's getting married in December and I know it will be wonderful with your music.

  • Excellent
    author: Stan Berry

    My wife and I really enjoyed this CD. The gentle romance shown was both relaxing and fun. Too bad it did not come out twenty seven years ago when we got married. P.S. She still can not pronounce "Brobdignagian".

  • Perfect.

  • Almost as good as a live show
    author: Tracy

    My fiance and I were looking for renaissance wedding music, and had the good fortune of see the Bards live before we even knew about the CD. The Bards version of the Bridal Chorus is wonderful and the remainder of the songs are a wonderful mix of mellow, funny, and simply sweet instrumental music that is amazing. I'm so glad we found this CD!

  • Whimsical, Enchanting, Lovely, Funny, nice mix of instrumentals and singing.
    author: Dori

    A friend told me about the CD when he heard I wanted something different for my wedding march. The music is beautiful. The CD tracks have a wonderful range in the feelings each project. Whimsical, Lovely, Funny, Enchanting, Toe-Tapping. Some with singing, some without. A Celtic Renaissance Wedding is quite a find. Thank you Brobdingnagian Bards!

  • going to be a wonderful wedding...
    author: Laurie

    I'm planning a medieval/renaissance wedding for October. This CD is wonderful. I couldn't have been happier. The music is beautiful. Wonderful for a wedding or even just to listen to on a regular basis. :)

    author: Nancy

    The CDs arrived in just a few days. I purchased 2, one for a gift to a future bride, having a Celtic theme wedding, and the other for my enjoyment.

  • Just what we were looking for!
    author: Richard N.

    This CD has all of the music I was looking for to be played both for the wedding ceremony and as dinner music for the reception. Thanks!

  • Fabulous
    author: Guinnessbex

    The music is beautiful and the CD arrived super quick! I'm quite impressed! I also liked that I was able to listen to the music before I purchased it. I would have been less likely to buy the CD had I not been able to hear how great it was.

  • Great Alternative to the Usual Wedding music!
    author: Kay

    The wedding's Celtic themed and this fit the bill beautifully! Love it.

  • A great CD for weddings!
    author: Jenny

    This CD is great--I like the mix of more modern with less modern. It's a beautiful CD for weddings, especially Renaissance/Celtic ones. :)

  • The Best!
    author: Tammy Wheeler

    Loved this CD! Will use this for my St. Patrick's Day Wedding in 2006. I wanted something different than the traditional wedding march and this had exactly what I was looking for.

  • This cd solved all my music for my wedding......wonderful!!!
    author: Pauline

    A first time wedding at ages 54,55 demanded something different in music and this cd was the perfect fit. The instrumentals allowed me to pick and choose which ones to use as a prelude, recessional, etc. I didnt quite think the vocals for the frog kiss was quite what I wanted for a vocal solo ...something a little more love song would have been a nice touch.

  • Very Handsome wedding notes
    author: CDriscoll

    The minute I received the CD of the celtic wedding, I gathered everybody togther to listen to it with us. Its so handsome and matches perfectly with our upcoming wedding. The arrival was quick and surprising. Thanks!!!!

  • Perfect for our eclectic wedding!
    author: Shannon

    This cd is perfect for our wedding. I am Irish, my fiance is Norwegian and our wedding is a combination with a touch of Renissance. We will use three songs for the ceremony and the whole cd during the reception.

  • most wonderful
    author: susan mead

    this wonderful collection will be used in many ren weddings at the ct. ren faire. It's just what the brides are looking for this season.

  • highly recommended, beautiful CD
    author: Kelli

    We love this CD! We found it while looking for songs to use at our wedding, and I have decided to walk down the aisle using the wedding march on this cd! The songs represent a wide variety of beauty and comedy, with the traditional Irish attitude. We highly recommend it.

  • The Bards Rock!
    author: Lady Carolyn

    I purchased this CD in hopes of finding one or two songs to use during the ceremony portion of my upcoming Renaissance/Medieval wedding. I'm happy to say that I will use the entire CD at some point in the wedding. I also purchased A Faire to Remember by this artist and will be using that as well. I couldn't be happier with these CDs.

  • FABULOUS!! EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR !!
    author: Tara Masincup

    I purchased this CD to be played at the reception of my Irish wedding, and it's exactly what I wanted !! Very highly recommended for any Celtic music lover !!

  • Greatest Celtic Love Songs I've Heard Yet!!!
    author: Robyn & Matt

    This is exactly the music we were searching for to play in our Scottish wedding. I mean, what type of music do you slow dance to in a kilt? And when I heard the Bards' version of the Bridal Chorus, I knew that's what I wanted to walk down the aisle to! The quality of recording is excellent, and the CD got here faster than I expected. I'm sure all our guests are going to love this charming CD.

  • Wonderful!, nice to find exactly what we were looking for.
    author: Ade' & Erik

    Needed the feeling this CD has for our upcoming wedding. The atmosphere will be so beautiful. Thank you so much.

  • Excellent!
    author: Krista

    This CD is excellent. I purchased it for my upcoming wedding. I am going to use almost every song somewhere in the ceremony. I will also listen to it on a regular basis.

  • Great Renaissance CD!
    author: Lorien

    This CD is exactly the mood we needed for our Fairy Tale themed wedding. We're going to use "Eleanor Plunkett" and "Lady Fairy" as our processional pieces, with other selected tracks playing in the background as we release the guests. The music is beautiful and elegant, and just the right touch for a themed or outdoor wedding.

  • Sounds great will use it in my wedding
    author: Lori

    sent in good time

  • THE BEST!!!
    author: Shannon

    I searched all over and spent too much money on inappropriate Celtic wedding music. Then I found this CD! It was less expensive than any other CD and the quality is above and beyond anything else I have found! This is a wonderful CD for a Celtic wedding!

  • Nicely Done. Cd worked out great for the wedding!
    author: SB
  • absolutely beautiful!
    author: Jessica

    This cd is the perfect addition to any wedding especially a scottish/celtic one!!! I was planning my celtic wedding and had lots of trouble finding a celtic cd that was just right and then there it was!! I cannot wait to play this at my wedding next year, I think it will be lovely and the guests will think it's perfect!

  • Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!
    author: Christy

    I searched all over for wedding music to fit my Celtic wedding(my groom is born and bred Scottish-kilt and all!)on August 21st. I couldn't be happier with this collection!

  • Wonderful renaissance wedding music!!!
    author: Phyllis Gittens

    I was searching for Celtic wedding music for my wedding and came across this CD. The instrumental flutes were wonderful and Did my wedding great. I played Shepherds Seranade and Elenor Plunkett at the beginning of the seating of my guests and the wedding march was a hugh success. I would suggest this Cd for anyone who wants to make their wedding fantastic. I got lots of compliments on this music

  • Simple Touching
    author: Amanda

    I finally got around to buying the wedding C.D. and I have to say it is absolutely AWESOME!!!! I thought I was swept away by MOME but Celtic Wedding puts me in a trance like no other. Yes, some of the songs are repeated on other albums but they fit well with the other songs on the c.d. too. Both harp and recorder are AMAZING. Thank you for creating such BEAUTIFUL,, soul moving songs that I would love to have played at my wedding someday.
