Ceremony Music Matters

Music is one of the elements that sets the tone and atmosphere of an event. Whether the ceremony is at a church, synagogue, outdoors or a venue here are a few key factors to consider when choosing the music.

1. Formality

2. Location

3. Traditions

4. Style of wedding

5. Length of ceremony

6. Restrictions

7. Seek out the advice of experts.

8. Get a good sense of the mood you want to create.

The ceremony music can be live or pre-recorded, all based on the above factors.

Before you fall in love with a "must have" play list, be sure to check with the church or synagogue where your ceremony is to be held to learn of their requirements. If there are restrictions - you must follow them.

The ceremony music traditionally, depending on the traditions or culture, falls within the following:

• Prelude – Sets the mood as guests arrive.

• Processional – Sets the tone that the wedding party is about to walk down the aisle.

• Recessional – Sets an upbeat celebratory mood for the ceremony exit.
