    We got married in a restored chapel from the 1800s that included a VERY old Steinway upright piano. It felt wrong NOT to use it! lol. So we had just a piano for our ceremony music.

    We are having a brass quartet (I voted for Trumpet).  I think that means two trumpets, a trombone and... I don't know what else :) FI is in charge of the music.

    Acoustic guitar for the processional, choir for the ceremony (which I assume comes with piano, so I checked off piano as well).

    I'm going to see if I can get a string trio or quartet together for the ceremony. The fi wants a brass quartet. 

    For the record I'm a violist and he's a trombonist. Haha...this could be a problem.

    @Kate2012: My fiance was a trumpeter for a million years, so that's how I lost that battle. :)

    We're having an organist and a trumpeter. The songs that we chose featured trumpet far more heavily than violin, which prompted our decision. (Our preferences might have been shaped by the fact that I played trumpets for ages though!)

    We are going to have 2 acoustic guitarists, which I am fairly excited about. Two of our friends have graciously accepted to play for us. I also get to put my college degree to work (music major here) to good use and arranging the music myself.

    @Alli259: I had a cello and violin--a little cheaper than a quartet.  It was sooo beautiful--one of my favorite parts of my wedding.

    Can you add bagpipes to the poll, or an "other" option. We're having bagpipes and that's all :) Can't wait!
