The Prelude

Music Tips for the Prelude

It is common to have more than one performer or entertainer at the wedding ceremony, as there are a number of traditional formalities. The first of these is the Prelude, when your guests arrive at the ceremony.

Since the music here is designed to be background only, you may want your entertainment to take the form of a church organ, piano, acoustic ensemble, band or choir.

Whatever your ultimate entertainment decision, remember that you can be as creative as you like, provided that the music suits the mood and style of the guests arriving, and the venue setting.
