Your Wedding Ceremony
Prelude:
This is the music played while the guests are being seated. It sets the mood (much as the flowers, decorations, and location as a whole do) as people arrive, and is usually soft background music--not too lively or overstated.
Sometimes brides specify some of the pieces that are to be played during this time (such as during the seating of the parents and grandparents), but generally prefer not to pick out all 15 to 30 minutes of music. It is often best to let us know if there's any broad type of music you do or don't want included, and within those parameters we will do our best to select pieces that fit the mood and setting you've created.
Processional:
The processional music is played while the wedding party and bride walk down the aisle. If the wedding party is large, some brides opt to have 2 pieces--one for the wedding party, and one for the entrance of the bride (such as the traditional 'Here Comes the Bride'). For church weddings, some brides even choose to have the harpist play the wedding party processional and have the organist play the wedding march for the bride.
Generally, pieces that make the best processionals are pieces that can be performed at a walking tempo and that can be ended at various points during the performance. This is to accommodate the differences in how many people are in your wedding party, the length of the distance they have to travel, and the speed at which they walk. (You don't want to have to wait 5 minutes for the music to end once the bride has reached the altar).
