Wedding
ceremony music
Music can add so much to your wedding. It sets the mood, it evokes
emotions.
When choosing music for your ceremony think soundtrack. Your music will signal
what is happening, will emphasise special moments, and will assist in
creating the atmosphere you want for your wedding. How you walk down
the aisle is a much an opportunity to express
yourselves and your joy at getting married as the music you choose.
And you don't have to walk - you can have fun and boogie down the
aisle. See how
one US couple did just that to the surprise, joy and delight of
their guests.
There are four places where music has an important role to play -
Before the
ceremony starts
Commonly called the Prelude traditionally this is quiet and reflective music
(influenced by its use as people entered the church and took their
places to wait for the ceremony to start). In a civil wedding you have
no such restrictions, so choose a medley of music that means something
to you, that sets the mood.
Entrance of
the bridal party
Commonly called the Processional this can be the
traditional entrance of the bride and her attendants, or can include
the groom and/or his attendants.The traditional piece is The Bridal
Chorus from Lohengrin by Richard Wagner, commonly
called "Here Comes the Bride" but it is only one possibility.
The Signing of
the Register
The walk back up the aisle by the Bride and Groom - The Recessional.
The traditional piece is the Wedding
March from A Midsummer Nights Dream by Felix Mendelssohn
If you're having a Unity Candle without narrative as part of the
ceremony you would choose music to accompany that as well.
The possibilities are limitless - choose classical music, contemporary
music, songs from today or yesteryear that mean something to you.
And so is the form the music takes - have live music or use a CD.
As an integral part of my service
- I provide you
with advice on choosing and
using music in your ceremony
- I have a number
of CDs of traditional and more contemporary popular wedding ceremony
music which you are welcome to use on the day.
- I brief the CD
operator and/or musicians
