Wedding Music – Planning
for your Big Day
• Prelude – This is when the guest assembles for the ceremony and find their
seats. There will be general mingling and the music for the prelude usually is
played low in the background, giving just enough ambiance to set the tone
for the ceremony.
• Processional – A professional can be either a long or short affair depending
on personal preference. In general, this music will be a slow-paced or
acoustic piece that offers the ability to walk slowly and gracefully down the
aisle.
• Brides entrance – Following the processional, the bride enters often on the
arm of her father, or a close male friend or relative. Often the music played
for her entrance will be the same as a processional but for some bride,
finding a song or piece of music that means something special to them or
their future spouse is a more popular choice.
