 Ceremony Music  



Prelude / Seating Music can be played for up to 45 minutes before the ceremony starts.  
Guests tend to arrive earlier for weddings in nontraditional ceremony sites (45 minutes)
30 minutes for traditional sites

Processional / Bridal Party Entrance - Music can change for every entrance change:  
Seating of grandmothers & mothers, entering of bridesmaids and entering of bride.

Recessional / Bride and Groom's Departure - Music should be upbeat and celebratory.

There are no real rules to the music used for the ceremony.  
There are many Traditional Choices, as well as, contemporary choices.
Your music should fit your personality and the atmosphere you have created for your ceremony.

Instrumental pieces seem to work best for the bride and her processional.  
Giving full attention where full attention is due - rather than competing with lyrics.  

Traditional Music, although it certainly can be used in any ceremony location, fits perfectly in a traditional ceremony site.  

Contemporary music fits absolutely any ceremony venue.

I have at one time or another spent hours searching for new and different ceremony music.
I use Barnes and Nobles web site most often because I find it has many music clips available.
I search for Titles that include the instrument I am looking for.  
For example: Flute, Harp, guitar, piano etc.
And then it is just hit and miss.  Listening for something that will compliment the beauty of a bride.
