![]() Go on line to listen to the selection and then you decide where it would fit best in your wedding. The selection is placed under a heading because that’s where it was played – but a Prelude selection would work as well for Postlude and even in another part of the ceremony. Music is wonderful at a wedding, but remember all things should be in moderation.Īll these selections have been played at weddings that Tom performed. Patrick’s Day, but the audience began to fidget and the ceremony, with the 14 pages of wording the Bride selected, lasted an hour. This will work great once, and maybe twice, but the Bagpiper was in his glory and played too long on each of the four times. Once upon another wedding, the Bride had a Bagpiper with four no action musical interludes. You lose the audience when it’s only recorded music with no action – it’s like being trapped on an elevator. Tom warned her this was a lot, “but these are my favorite four songs.” In the middle of the second selection she whispered to him – “You were right.” But, of course, at that point it was in the program and too late to delete the last two songs. Once upon a Wedding, a Bride who wanted four stops for music – Country Western – played on a CD with no action taking place. The musicians can be watched so there is action, like a Unity Candle or Sand Mixing can be watched. When there are live musicians there is sometimes a selection by them – but usually not so with a CD player, an iPod, or even a DJ with recorded music. Usually the only music is when something is happening – for a Unity Candle or Mixing of Sand. ![]() There can be special songs at different points in the ceremony, such as after exchanging the rings and vows, or lighting the Unity Candle. The most joyous music is played in the Recessional, when the Bride and Groom leave together – followed by the wedding party. Third Fade out the music when it’s no longer needed.

He was unfamiliar with the devise – but all went well – it was a good choice that day – but sometimes these last minute handoffs have failed badly. Tom has seen a bride hand a devise to a 12-year-old nephew five minutes before the Processional. If you are providing your own music:įirst Select someone who knows how to operate the devise and is prepared before the wedding day. A powerful choir rendition for Christian weddings. Amazing Grace The lyrics say how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. If you have musicians they will know what to do – so will a DJ. All Things Bright And Beautiful This is one of the best wedding hymns used as wedding processional songs. How do you make the length of the music equal the time it takes for everyone to walk down the aisle? ![]() It can also be just one musical selection for both. There are sometimes two selections during the Processional, one when the Bridesmaids enter, and the most dramatic as the Bride walks down the aisle. There should be about three to five songs played as a Prelude when the guests are seated, then sometimes a special song when Grandparents, the Groom’s Parents and the Mother of the Bride are seated. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will become the bond with your family.Wedding ceremony music tends to be softer, usually classical wedding music, but often popular, country, jazz or ballads. Please pour the sand into this common container to symbolize the blending of your lives. As each individuals sand is poured into the familys one united common container, the individual containers of sand will no longer exist, but will be joined together as one. Today, this relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these 4 individual shells/containers of sand, each representing a member of the family in all that they were, all that that are, and all that they will ever be. They will now join Bride and Groom in this commitment to each other by contributing a part of each individual person into one blended family. We recognize the significant role that Daughter and Son play in this marriage celebrated today. Today as Bride and Groom have sealed their commitment to each other with the exchange of rings they too make a commitment to their children. We are all members of one family, Gods family. We combined families, so it may or may not be what you're looking for.
