Tim any of the common songs will work , before the service when people are being seated, love songs will work, I would use songs that the average person in attendence would recognize...Wind beneath my wings,Through the eyes of love,Wedding song, etc.. Specialty songs , Cannon in D, Bridal Chorus, Wedding march,,Lady is a tramp[just kidding about the last one].. As for fees, are they friends and would you be attending any way? If so, with out future consequences, I have performed in this situation with out a charge, [a wedding gift] They will remember your contribution forever..If a charge is neccessary, I think $250 is about average for a basic service..Make sure you know the procedure and order of the advent..If possible have someone within the organization of the wedding, cueing you..Have fun, it is easy and should be enjoyable..You are in a win/win situation..

I've just been asked to play for my first wedding.
Tim, I feel the most important thing to be concerned about is how confident you look, and how confident you feel. People will accept a wrong note, or a wrong button, in fact most of the time there in their own world doing what they do at gatherings. But when you lose my confidence, you lose control, that they will hear and feel.
Price is not to important here, although people do judge by what you are charging. I remember when I was going to homes teaching guitar, I bought some new clothes, then I bought a new car---then I raised my the cost of the lesson. They loved it, they bragged about this fine teacher that comes to their home. Tim, treat it like a game. go to the job and enjoy it. That'll be the best you can do, and they will love it.
Relax and enjoy, John C.
