CEREMONY MUSIC PROGRAM
Prelude
The prelude is an interval of music 20 - 30 minutes prior to your ceremony. The prelude establishes the mood for your wedding while your guests are being seated. The prelude music continues until the start of the ceremony traditionally marked by the seating of the mothers.
START OF THE CEREMONY
Seating of the Mothers
The ceremony is signified by the entrance of the Groom’s mom followed by the Bride’s mom. If you are including grandmothers, they will walk prior to the moms.
Processional
The processional / wedding party follow the seating of the mothers. It is marked by the entrance of the Officiant, Groom, Best Man and Groomsmen, followed by the bridesmaids, maid of honor, ring bearer / flower girl. Selected music should have a clearly audible cadence so that it is easy for your attendants to keep time while walking.
Last, but most important, is the Bride / Dad entrance. Whether you choose the traditional Wedding March (Here Comes The Bride) or another song, keep in mind that the selected piece should announce the bride and focus all attention on her.
Interlude
During the ceremony, there are some pauses – after special readings and prayers, unity ceremony, etc. Many couples fill those pauses with music that maintains a joyous and solemn mood.
Recessional
The end of the ceremony is marked by the bridal kiss and announcement of the newly married couple. At this point, the guests applauded and the Recessional song begins – the Wedding March is the most popular choice. The bride and groom exit, followed by the maid of honor and best man, and bridesmaid/groomsmen.
