Ceremony
Prelude: Music usually begins about 15 minutes prior to the ceremony as your guests are being seated.
Processional: Processional music is preformed 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, typically 10-15 minutes.
Incidental Music: Incidental music is entirely optional, but can be used for a number of settings, during the lighting of the unity candle, readings or as a concert piece.
Suggested Groups: Brass Quartet, Woodwind Trio or a Jazz Trio. Vocal and instrumental soloists are also available with/or without organ or piano accompaniment.
