The prelude will set the mood and prepare the audience for the wedding vows. The prelude music should welcome guests as they are being seated. The prelude generally begins 15 to 20 minutes before the ceremony start time, and it often involves quite a few songs. These songs should be cheerful, subdued, and set
the stage for the ceremony. Let Melissa know if you have any favorite music for the prelude. If not Melissa will select the most appropriate prelude music.

2. Processional Music - Seating of the Wedding Party  (click for samples)
 
The wedding party’s processional marks the official beginning of the ceremony. Processional music will begin as the groom reaches the altar. Also, groomsmen may come in at this time, or with the bridesmaids. Processional music should be majestic, grand and stately. It should have a slow but flowing feel, ushering the beautiful bridesmaids and other members of the wedding party down the aisle. Another classic song is "Canon in D" by Pachabel.

3. Processional Music - Entrance of the Bride (click for samples)

Traditional the bride enters to the Bridal Chorus - "Here comes the Bride" however you may choose to enter to another harp song.

4. Interlude or Sacred Music - Special Ceremony Music  (click for samples)

The interlude includes many different moments during the ceremony. The interlude can be the lighting of the unity candle, memorial candle, or rose presentation. 

Many couples choose to have another musical pieces played during the wedding ceremony. Frequently the wedding couple will ask a friend to sing during the ceremony. This occurs during the ceremony or just before the recessional. Short ceremonies may not have special ceremony music. Let Melissa know if you would like her to accompany a vocalist during special ceremony music.

5. Recessional Music- After the couple is introduced (click for samples)
 
The recessional music is played at the end of the wedding ceremony, usually after the kiss or after the officiate introduces the couple. After the officiate pronounces the husband and wife, Melissa will play recessional music as the couple proceeds up the aisle.

6. Postlude Music - Post ceremony music  (click for samples)

This music should set a pleasant atmosphere as wedding guests exit. Postlude music lasts until all guest exit usually five to fifteen minutes. Postlude music should be upbeat, happy and joyous to add the finishing touch to the ceremony.

7. Cocktail or Reception Music

Continuation of harp music during the cocktail hour is a great ice breaker.  Harp music during the cocktail or reception is an elegant addition to any wedding ceremony.
