Your wedding day will be one of the most important days of your life. You will want everything to be perfect, including the music. Part of the wedding services provided is a private consultation to help you choose the music that will best suit your wedding. Aedan specializes in music from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England, which creates a romantic and relaxed atmosphere. She can also provide that music which is traditionally played at wedding ceremonies. You think you would like something different but want to hear the music? Send Aedan email and set up a consultation.
This is the music being played while the guests are arriving and being seated. It is usually soft background music.
The processional music is played while the wedding party and bride walk down the isle.
If you choose to have music during the ceremony, a few ideas might be during a candle lighting, quiet meditation or prayer, or any other non-speaking time during the ceremony.
The recessional music is playing while the bride and groom, wedding party and wedding officiate walk back down the isle. It is usually upbeat and celebratory. For the non-traditional, a Celtic piece entitled Banish Misfortune works well both musically, and its name suggests a wonderful start for a new beginning.
This is played immediately after the recessional while the guests are leaving their seats. A postlude is not always needed, however if the guests are leaving slowly it's nice to fill the time with music.
To get you started, below is a list of the areas in which music is generally used during the wedding. This is what is usually done, but by no means your only option. Besides playing for traditional weddings, Aedan also specializes in the non-traditional.
