WEDDING MUSICIANS SIMPLY TIMELESS
When mentioning names of fun events,
you just cannot leave out wedding events.
These events have existed for ages and
differ from time to time and place to
place. The main element that is common in almost
all weddings regardless of the era or part of
the world that the event is being held is
music. Traditionally there were very
distinct types of music played at different
stages of the wedding ceremony.
Preludes, processional and recession music The
traditional three types of music played
at wedding ceremonies were called
preludes, processional and recessional music
respectively. Preludes were light ambient
music that was played as the guests were
entering and settling into the venue. This
was followed by processional music which
was played as special attendants such as
family members entered. This music could
also be used as the bride enters
but nowadays, many event planners prefer to
have special music playing as the bride
enters. As the guest exit recession music
is played. Experienced wedding musicians
knew exactly what genre of music to play
at which stage of the ceremony. If however

musicians yet you want the music to be based
on this traditional routine, you might have to
take them through the basics or ask them do a
little homework on the same to ensure that they
grasp the concept. Bride and Grooms Special
Requests In addition to these three major
types of music, the bride and groom might
request interlude music at specific intervals
during the ceremony. This is usually music that
has sentimental value to either the groom or the
bride or both. They might also request for
special postludes music to be played after
exiting the venue. Postludes in many cases
will involve violin playing. Get Informed If
