Wedding DJ In-Take Form

It is nice to have some music playing in the background as your guests arrive and take their seats. This is known as prelude music. The music you choose is going to set the tone for your wedding so it needs to work well with the rest of your music choices. You may want to choose a couple of songs depending on how early your guests are going to arrive.

This is when members of your immediate family and wedding party head down the aisle and either finds a seat or take their places on either side of the altar. The processional begins with the grandparents, flows through the parents, groom, officiant, wedding party, flower girl, and ring bearer, and ends with the bride making her entrance.

Sometimes, as noted above, the Bride enters during the processional, but if she is to enter separately then her music is often referred to as the ‘Bride’s entry’. This is perhaps the single most emotional moment of any wedding ceremony and as such the music chosen should match the sentiment of the day – but also reflect the bride’s personality.

A piece of music is often played during the ceremony when there is a lull in proceedings. Often this is when the couple and their witnesses are signing the register and certificates required to legalize their union. This is referred to as the interlude. Classical music or instrumental versions of your favourite music are popular choices at this point in the ceremony, but it can be any tune the couple likes that reflects their tastes in music.

The recessional is the piece of music played as the newly married couple and their attendants walk back down the aisle at the end of the ceremony. This is generally an upbeat piece of music and often couples will choose ‘their song’ or a song that they feel sums up their relationship. It does need to be fairly long to give everyone a chance to leave the ceremony room as the guests will often follow the bridal party out.

*Note: Cake cutting can also be done after dinner, but we recommend cutting the cake right after introductions so that guests are paying attention. Also, the hall can cut the cake while dinner is taking place so that it can be served immediately after dinner.
