The Renaissance was a time of huge cultural leaps. Literature, architecture, painting, and of course, music. The couple planning a Renaissance wedding has a huge range of choice. You can choose Renaissance music performed on modern instruments; you can find musicians who play on period instruments. If you're not sure what the music sounds like, you can click over to YouTube, and listen to some of their many examples.
A good way to find musicians to perform period music is to check out the many Renaissance fairs. You don't have to attend them, though you certainly can if you wish! For those who love the Renaissance, what could be a better way to spend a summer day than wandering a "Faire" and listening to the music?
However, if you can't get to a fair, a quick Google search will reveal dozens of Renaissance fairs. Go to the fair's website, and see which musicians are listed, and then find the musicians' websites. There you can usually hear samples of their work. (Isn't the internet a marvellous thing?)
