Last update: December 2025

The London Wedding Orchestra provides stunning classical ensembles ranging from an octet up to a full sinfonia. The ensembles each play a broad repertoire ranging from Baroque to Romantic and including more modern popular and film music. The orchestra's players are all graduates of London's top conservatoires and play in the capital's major orchestras and the pit orchestras of the West End. For a musical wow factor, nothing can compare to the impact of having your very own orchestra.

Based in Central London, London Wedding Orchestra provides elegant musical accompaniment for weddings and special events.
