Wedding Ceremony Music

Choosing your wedding ceremony music will be easy after you briefly review the information below.

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

  • The Wedding Prelude Music (also called Pre-Service Music) which is further subdivided into:
  • 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---for some folks, it's the music they hear after the wedding while wishing they were seated towards the front instead of at the back so they 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, links to song clips, and other pertinent information are included.

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. Obviously, manners dictatethat music choices be reasonable. Remember that there's always the reception for music that may not be acceptable for the wedding itself!
