Choosing Your Wedding Ceremony Music is a Song.........Once You've Spent Some Time Reviewing the Information Here!

To simplify our discussion, I have broken down wedding ceremony music into the following sub-categories:

  • The Wedding Prelude Music which is also called Pre-Service Music.

  • The Wedding Processional Music is the music for the bridesmaid(s) and the wedding march for the bride.

  • The Wedding Service Music includes any music that is performed during the actual ceremony. Examples include:

  • The Wedding Recessional Music is simply the music for the jubilant bridal party as they exit.

  • The Wedding Postlude Music is the music that occurs after the wedding recessional and, traditionally speaking, when the ushers dismiss the wedding guests row by row to the receiving line. (Put another way---it's the music you hear as you sit wishing you were seated towards the front instead of at the back so you could get out sooner!)
If you're thinking that this is a lot of music to decide upon, you're right, but.................take heart!

Just click on any link above, and you'll find that it's all broken down for you in bite-size pieces. Specific wedding ceremony song suggestions, specific CDs that contain that song, and other pertinent information are included.

Make your choices for one category, then choose another and before you know it---you've planned your wedding music the fun, hassle-free way!

Ready, Set............................Whoa!

Tip: If your wedding is taking place in a House of Worship, be sure to inquire about any music restrictions that may exist and review your intended music choices with the clergy or music coordinator if need be before finalizing your music. You will save yourself time and frustration by doing this!

While much musical variety is generally allowed today, respect is in order in a House of Worship and indeed at weddings in general. So please be reasonable in your music choices. You always have the reception for music that may not be acceptable for the wedding itself!
