The Wedding Ceremony
Although the choice of music for the Wedding Ceremony is very much a matter of personal taste, certain pieces are often requested for the three key elements where music is required: the Processional (entrance of the bride), the Signing of the Register, and the Recessional (exit of the couple and guests). As a guide, some suggestions for these are given below.
Processional (entrance of the bride / couple)
Signing of the register
Recessional (exit of couple and guests)
