Most weddings are divided into five parts:

The prelude, the processional, the ceremony, the recessional and the postlude.

The PRELUDE music is designed to entertain your guests while they are being seated and typically begins 15 minutes before the start of the ceremony but may last up to 30 minutes for a large gathering. The musicians usually select the prelude music from their repertoire; however, you may choose your favourite pieces for the prelude.

The PROCESSIONAL music announces the beginning of the ceremony and includes different selections for each of the following depending upon the size of the wedding: the seating of the parents / immediate family members, the wedding party attendants (bridesmaids, ring bearers, flower girls) and finally the entrance of the bride, bride / groom, or partner (s).

Whether or not music is performed during the CEREMONY is at the discretion of the bride and groom or partners; music may coincide with certain standard sections of a church service or it may accompany a candle lighting ceremony or a period of reflection; music is usually played during the signing of the registry. If you are to be married in a church, synagogue or other religious setting, do confer with the priest, rabbi or minister regarding the amount of flexibility you will have regarding the selection of the music and the timing of the music during the church service as well as the policies regarding the church organist.

The RECESSIONAL is the final phase of the ceremony where the music accompanies the bride and groom / partners and wedding party as they leave.

The POSTLUDE music is performed while the guests are leaving and sets the mood for the reception to follow. You may choose your own selections or allow the musicians to choose the music.

Listening to the audio samples in the Music Repertoire or requesting our complimentary DEMO CDs may assist you in selecting the wedding music that will forever remain in your memories. We are also available for one-on-one personal consultations, email, online consultation or phone contact.
