If you can't find a musician, do the boombox.

I went to a beautiful wedding in Seagrove a while back that only had the music of the waves. I loved it!
Right after we bought property in Seagrove, we were staying on Eastern Green at Rosemary because we had a meeting with an architect. Daughter was 15. There was a wedding on Eastern Green catered by Chef Paul of the now defunct Chef Paul's restaurant in Carillon and Panos and Paul's in Atlanta. There were musicians for the wedding, but apparently they only paid for them to play prior to and during the ceremony. We were watching the celebration from our balcony. During the reception daughter asked us if she could play for them. We saw no problem with that. She stood on the balcony playing her violin totally from memory. The wedding party and guests just loved it. The bride and groom asked us to join the celebration. It was a lovely evening. Of course, daughter did it for free.

This is exactly something my son would've done too.
Now that your daughter and my son are older it's not quite the same as when they were children but wonderful memories for us as parents.
My son played Saint-Saens The Swan for Holy Thursday when he was 15. There wasn't a dry eye in the sanctuary.
He is playing for a wedding ceremony next month and will play several of the Bach Suites which is perfect since he has them learned for Jan. '09 auditions.

I remember having the pleasure to see a wedding out our balcony on Maui w/ rainbows and a string quartet....absolutely gorgeous.
Pay close attention to the "wedding" threads!
I love Handel's Water Music!
Beautiful!!!Just use the boombox, hidden away somewhere, just make sure someone tests it first so they know it's loud enough and burn all the tracks on to one cd in order of when they're to be played. You can burn one CD for music while everyone is sitting/waiting. And then another with the ceremony music on it in order.
Of all the weddings I've been to, the ones with the processional music that stick out the most in my mind are the ones who used unexpected music or something very special to them. Like, Til Kingdom Come by Coldplay. That one was lovely. One of my friends used Such Great Heights by Iron and Wine which was just very much their style. Beautiful Day by U2 makes a great recessional, although it's been done a lot.
At my wedding, I chose to mix it up a little and used Water Music for the processional and then Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer for the recessional. We used music from Legends of the Fall for the time while everyone was being seated and waiting.
Don't feel restricted to "wedding music". It can be really fun to pick something that really means something special to you.

Now that I think about it, Water Music makes sense for a beach wedding.I love Handel's Water Music!
