It's not quite as important as choosing the right venue (or the right person to marry!) - but choosing the right music for your ceremony will help to set the tone for the rest of your special day. The choices of music you'll make will depend on the type of ceremony you're planning to hold - so we've put together a selection of recommended ensembles for the four most popular styles of Ceremony that My Wedding Music caters to.
The Prelude – You will need a selection of pieces to be played as your guests arrived, approximately 15 to 30 minutes before the arrival of the bride. Generally elegant and soothing, this music will define the tone of your ceremony.
The Processional & Entrance of the Bride – Select music with a steady, well-defined tempo to accompany the entrance of the wedding party as they walk down the aisle. Your choice of music should direct the attention of your guests to the bride as she makes her entrance.
The Ceremony - If appropriate, you may wish to highlight particular highlights of your ceremony with music. Your ceremony music should represent your personal taste, but keep in mind that you’ll be looking back on your ceremony for the rest of your life – in ten years do you really want to be reminiscing about signing the registry to the “Chicken Dance”?
The Recessional – Choose upbeat music as the bride and groom return down the aisle to begin their lives as husband and wife.
