About This Recording

Felix Mendelssohn composed the Wedding March in 1842 as part of his incidental music for Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Since Queen Victoria's daughter chose it for her royal wedding procession in 1858, it has been the definitive recessional music at weddings worldwide. This Artyfile recording goes beyond the standard arrangement: it opens with an original entrance fanfare featuring triumphant brass and timpani, designed specifically for bride procession sequences, before launching into the full orchestral Wedding March. The recording captures the grandeur of a complete orchestra — soaring strings, commanding brass, resonant horns and thundering timpani — mastered to broadcast standard at 44.1 kHz WAV quality. At 2 minutes and 24 seconds, it provides ample coverage for ceremony sequences, processional edits and dramatic reveal moments.

Why License Through Artyfile

Licensing orchestral recordings of classical repertoire elsewhere often means navigating multiple rights holders, unclear collection society obligations and unpredictable costs. With Artyfile, sync rights and master rights are managed directly — one purchase, one license, worldwide clearance. No subscription required, no hidden fees. Artyfile music is registered with GEMA and all collecting societies for worldwide monitoring, but the sync rights are handled independently by Artyfile, so you pay once and receive full clearance with no additional GEMA fees or separate negotiations.
