                                           Your Wedding Music

 

This site:  http://www.ourweddingsongs.com/ has a large selection of popular music choices for weddings.  Feel free to choose any music you'd like; we want you to like every song played at your wedding!

Prior to Ceremony –
We’ll play at least ½ hour of music prior to the beginning of your ceremony while your guests arrive.  You may choose specific songs or we’ll choose music to coordinate with your ceremony music.  We call these music choices your "prelude" music.  You may choose this music or we'll use our standard prelude music which is a mix of classical and contemporary light sounds that fit well with an outdoor wedding.

 
Mother’s seating
Formal weddings may choose to have a song played while special guests such parents, step-parents, and grandparents of the couple are seated.   You may choose any music.  Often chosen songs are "Mama's Song" by Carrie Underwood, "Ava Maria," "Ode to Joy,"  "The Theme from Thornbirds," "Spring," and "Air."


Groomsmen entry and/or Bridesmaid’s Prelude

Ceremonies with two or more bridesmaids (including maid of honor) or those that have the groomsmen enter formally usually have a song during which the bridal party walks down the aisle.  Sometimes, one longer song is chosen for both the mother's seating and the wedding party entrance.

Below are samples of songs chosen for Mother's seating and bridesmaid's entrance:

Jesu - Joy of Man's Desiring

Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D (Air)
