There are some delightful collections of wedding music arranged for clarinet.
One is "Favorite Wedding Classics," arranged by Keith Snell. The collection
is arranged for solo, duet, or trio, with piano accompaniment. Copyright date
is 1992, Belwin, Inc. The solo and accompaniment books are separate. Sample
of selections: Ave Maria, Wedding March from Midsummer Night's Dream, Prince
of Denmark's March, and Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin.

Also, Cathedral Music Press has a book titled, "Sacred Melodies for Clarinet
Solo," which includes the piano accompaniment. Dr. Norman Heim is the
arranger; copyright 1988. Selections here are, Blessed Jesus, from Faure's
Requiem; My Heart Ever Faithful, from Mendelssohn's Elijah; and Jesu, Joy of
Man's Desiring.

You might also consider some of the collections of advanced clarinet solos.
Many times, they include music that might "fit" for a wedding.

I've used each of these ideas for weddings and for service preludes, etc, and
I have a floutist friend who uses similar sources.

Good Luck!
