Ceremony Music:

Our goal is to perform exquisitely for your ceremony and have all the processions and entrances flow seamlessly with our music. Before your wedding day, we will help you select the music (from the list below) and personalize your program. On your wedding day, we will take care of all the visual cues with your wedding director beforehand and adjust the tempo/length of songs according to the pace of the processions.

In a typical ceremony, we will perform at these moments:

  • Thirty minutes of prelude music before the ceremony as guests are being seated
  • Seating of mothers and grandmothers
  • Entrance of the wedding attendants
  • The Bridal Processional
  • Unity Candle/Communion/Reflection
  • Recessional/exit music after the couple has been presented as husband and wife
  • A short postlude as guests are leaving the ceremony

Below are some suggested pieces for your each part of your ceremony. However, you may select any piece for any part of your ceremony.
