Your Wedding Day...

Here are some helpful suggestions to use in planning your wedding music...
CEREMONY
The Ceremony is divided into 3 main sections: Prelude, Processional and Recessional
PRELUDE
Prelude Music usually begins 15 minutes prior to the actual ceremony as your guests are being seated.
PROCESSIONAL
Processional Music is performed as the bride and bridal party are escorted down the aisle. Two separate songs should be selected, one for the bridal party and one for the bride.
RECESSIONAL
Recessional Music begins once the bride and groom are announced as husband and wife. The music will continue until all guests have left the ceremony.

Incidental Music is entirely optional but can be used for a number of settings during the ceremony. It is commonly performed during the lighting of the unity candle, readings, or as a concert piece.
