There are an infinite number of options for music for today's wedding ceremony. For some couples, the choices are clear,
but for others the process can seem daunting. This is an attempt to map out the basic possibilities of where to start in
choosing wedding music and to give a broad perspective on how to begin (and perhaps end) the process of making the musical
choices and selections that will help establish and color the backdrop and mood of the day you've been dreaming of.
If you'd like a basic overview of "Ceremony Music 101" - with basic explanations of terms like "repertoire," "prelude,"
"processional," and more, and an overall explanation of how the music of the day is most commonly set up, click here.
If you'd like to read some thoughts about traditional choices vs. less traditional choices, click here.
For additional thoughts on repertoire choices click here. I'll be updating this blog page as time goes on!
