Very often the music for a wedding ceremony
is played on an organ. Sometimes a choir also sings. Talk to your officiant to
find out the details for your wedding ceremony site. Some songs that are played
at weddings as the bride walks down the aisle are:
•
Mendelssohn’s “A Midsummer Nights Dream” (Played for Queen
Victoria’s wedding) • Handle’s “Processional” in g
major
• “Here Comes the Bride” (bridal chorus) The music
for the ceremony usually is played in this order:
• Prelude Guests
start arriving and are seated until the mother of the bride is seated. The
prelude entertains guests while they wait for the ceremony to start.
• Processional Starts to play when the mother of the bride is
seated
• Ceremony music
• Small piece during the
lighting of the unity candle (if appropriate)
• Communion Music
(if appropriate)
• Recessional
