THE PRELUDE:
As guests are arriving, the DJ plays about a half an hour of music. A tasteful variety of Classical music, Hawaiian music, Soft Country or Rock, New Age…depending upon the setting and feel of the ceremony, the prelude sets the stage. Our experienced DJs can select all the music for the prelude, or you are more than welcome to incorporate your requests as well.
The Processional:
The processional marks the official start of the ceremony. Though ceremonies can include a single processional, it is common to have two, three, or even four. If yours is a large wedding party‚ such as two mothers, two grandmothers and grandfathers, ten bridesmaids and ushers, and three flower girls, it is often a good idea to have more than one processional.
You may, for example, want one for all the parents and grandparents, another for the bridesmaids, ushers, flower girls and ring bearers, and yet another for the bride. Each processional is accompanied by a different musical selection: perhaps a very slow and lyrical piece for the parents, a sweet gentle faster pace for the bridesmaids, and a very royal and grand piece for the bride. You might prefer, however, a grand and royal piece for each processional or maybe lighter for all pieces, you are your own maestro.
Whatever your needs, we will cater to your style and taste to create the image you choose for your wedding. For smaller wedding parties‚ one mother, two bridesmaids, one maid of honor‚ two processionals will suffice. A single processional works beautifully for the simplest scenario, a bride and her maid of honor.
The Ceremony:
During the ceremony we can provide a brief interlude of quiet, reflective music performed before, after or between several readings. In addition, music is well suited to candle lighting, communion, presentation of gifts, and rose ceremonies. The officiator can help you decide appropriate places to include music, or may suggest a simple ceremony with no music at all.
The recessional:
After you are married, you, your wedding party and your guests will be escorted out of the ceremony area to upbeat recessional music. A postlude can be played after the recessional if more music is desired. |
