Prelude Music
The
half hour leading up to the wedding ceremony is when the prelude music
occurs. This is the music that your guest will hear as they are being
seated and while they are waiting for the ceremony to begin. Since
this is the first thing that your guests will hear it sets the tone for
the wedding ceremony. Anything goes here! You might consider songs
that your guests would particularly enjoy since they will be the ones
hearing the music, and save your favorite(s) for the actual ceremony.
Seating of the Parents
This
selection is played during the seating of the parents and
grandparents. Usually one selection is best (about three minutes.) If
there are only two sets of parents being seated you might want to
consider using one selection for the seating of the parents and the
wedding party. Since this is the music your parents will be seated to
you could consider letting them choose the selection. Maybe include a
selection from your mom's wedding here as a mini-tribute!
Wedding Party Entrance
This selection is played during the entrance of the wedding party. Usually this is a separate selection from the seating of the parents. The Last parent seated is the bride's mother. Next comes the
entrance of the groom, then the weddings party followed by the ring
bearer and flower girl. The flower girl is the last person down the
aisle before the entrance of the bride. The groom, wedding party, and
flower girls enter to one musical selection.
