If you are unsure of what you would like us to play for your wedding ceremony, we are happy to make recommendations. For the prelude and postlude (before and after the actual ceremony), we play various selections of classical music, which creates a relaxing atmosphere while people are arriving before your wedding and also while people are walking out to greet the wedding party after the ceremony has concluded. The prelude and postlude portions are usually about fifteen minutes each in length. Below are music suggestions for different portions of your actual ceremony. You can even listen to 15 of these music suggestions on our Audio Samples page. Contact Us with your questions!
