Wedding Day Music

Before the Ceremony, Prelude Songs   (When the Guests Arrive)

These are played while your guests are gathering, before the ceremony actually begins. These songs set the tone for your wedding.     Decide if you want just instrumentals or if you would prefer songs that are sung by famous artists.    Many brides like instrumentals that are either contemporary or traditional, but if you would rather have jazz or country, the choice is yours.  

For this music, please let us know the type of music you like and if there are 2-3 songs you want us to add to our play list.

Here are the types we have:

If we are missing a type we’d be happy to add something news.

Walking Down the Aisle, Processional Music (Bride’s Song)

This is the music that is played as the wedding party and bride enter. You can either select the same song to be played for both or select a separate song for the bridal party and another song for the bride.
