GNU Free Documentation License Ever played violin for a wedding ceremony? Q. Hi! I've been asked to play violin for a wedding ceremony (I live in Pa) though I play very well I have never done a wedding. I'm wondering how much I should charge? Also how do I know how to get the timing of the music down so it ends at the right moment after they come down the isle when there's no way to know until the rehearsal itself. I'd appreciate any advice from someone who's performed for wedding on how to go about things. Thanks so much! Asked by violindiva72 - Fri Jul 4 19:31:38 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have played with 3 other people for 2 weddings. (It was a quartet they wanted.) Since the parents of the bride were teachers at the school, we agreed that each of us get $50 ($200 total) for just playing the wedding song and extra (depending on how long they wanted us to play at the reception).

Q. I have been told that a naming ceremony is a good, non-religious alternative to a christening. Has anyone been to one, held one, or otherwise know the sort of promises/vows the parents make? Any help would be much appreciated :o) Asked by lecker_shell - Sun Jul 8 12:09:15 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. The parents make vows that they will love and nurture the child throughout it's life. They can also make vows that they will love and support each other. I went to one recently at a register office, the parents wrote their own vows, they also wrote a little speech describing why they chose they name that they did. It was all very lovely and means that you don't miss out on a ceremony for your child if you're not religious.
