Wedding Ceremony Songs

If you are getting married, then you are sure to need songs for your ceremony. Did you know there are many segments in a wedding ceremony? Do you know what these divisions are? Did you know that each one could (if you so choose), have its own special song? The following is a brief overview of the wedding ceremony segments. They are not for any specific religion, but the basic wedding ceremony.

Prelude Song - this is the music played before the wedding ceremony, while guests are being seated.

Processional Song(s) - songs played for the introduction of the family members and the wedding party. This could be one, or several different songs for each member.

Bridal Processional Song- music for the brides' grand entrance.

Interlude Song- the song that will be played during the wedding ceremony.

Unity Candle Song - if a unity candle is lit, specific music could be played for it.

Recessional Song - music that will be played as the new couple walk up the aisle together after the wedding ceremony.

These are the segments of a common wedding; if you have a more specific religious ceremony, there could be several variations in the ceremony. Many devoted couples select songs for each section of the wedding ceremony establishing a very personal touch to this happy occasion. It truly is up to you as to how much thought and time you want to invest in your wedding ceremony music. This is a very special ceremony, joining two as one forever in front of all to see; how do you put that to music?

Your wedding ceremony music should reflect the eternal love, devotion, and commitments that are being honored by the ceremony. If you can put these emotions and promises to music, then you have accomplished the perfect wedding ceremony. Be creative; be personal and express to all that are present, the unconditional love shared.

Several couples choose the traditional songs, widely known to all to play during their wedding ceremony, and this is a great choice. Others ask close friends, family, the church, or others for assistant in the selection of ceremony music. Then there are those that share this intimate moment together, selectively choosing each song to be played separately. It does not really matter "how" you choose them. All that really matters is your happiness with the final selections. This is your special day, so pick your wedding ceremony songs to reflect this!
