Wedding Music Question - and Order of Music?

Hi! I am having a traditional church wedding, and I was wondering where all of the music goes in the processional? How many songs will I need, and how long should each be?

I know I need one for when I walk down the aisle, but where else is music appropriate? Thanks !

I had this same problem. below are three links one to an itinerary that helped me with the flow of things and the second to a music site that helps plan out music. The third has a section that you can buy sheet music or Cds of the music. Just remember if there are words to the songs then most churches require that you submit the words and music for review and approval. Check to make sure what all you need to submit to the church. Good luck and Best Wishes!

You'll need some prelude music while guests are being seated. We had a special song to be played while the mothers were seated, then a song for the bridesmaids' entry, then the bride's processional. You'll also need a recessional.

If you are having an organist or pianist play at the church, they should be able to make some song suggestions if you need them.
Well, I guess it depends on how many are standing up in your wedding. If you have quite a few to walk down the aisle before you, you might want a couple songs, or one longer song and then when you are ready to come down the aisle, play your song. We only had a best man, maitron of honor, and one bridesmaid and one groomsman stand up and we had two songs. One for when everyone else came in and my song for when I came in.

Good luck and enjoy your special day. It goes fast!!!!
Its your wedding.. you can have music whenever you want- you can have as much songs as you desire. As long as there is silence when you are reading your vows you will be fine. Just get a DJ for the reception and tell him what music you like x Congrats and good luck
Sometimes they have a song that the couple dedicates to each other some sugestions are : "I will love you", "From this moment on", "You're still the one" It's all up to you what do you think would be best?
I'm having a traditional church wedding as well, and I am hoping to just have the piano player play some music of her choice while everyone is being seated. I'm skipping on music for the reception because mine is going to be a small, informal wedding. It is a second marriage for both of us and we have four kids between us - ages 12, 10, 9 and 8. It will just be us and our kids in the wedding (we have two boys and two girls). Good luck to you! When is the date? Mine is March 2.
If your wedding is to be traditional, you should have a string quartet or harpist or someone like that play about 4 or 5 classical selections in the background while everyone's getting seated. Some suggestions:

Air On A G String- Bach

Badinerie- Bach

Spring from the Four Seasons- Vivaldi

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring- Bach

Moonlight Sonata- Beethoven

Then, you'll need a processional song for all your attendants (bridesmaids, flower girl, etc.) to walk down the aisle to. A lot of people choose Palchebel's Canon in D for this particular song, but I've also heard a lot of other classical-type songs be used.

Then it will be time for your aisle walk. The most traditional song for this is, of course, Mendelsohn's Wedding March (You know, "here comes the bride...") but you can use anything really, except Pomp and Circumstance, because that's the graduation song, LOL.

After the whole "kiss the bride" part, you will need a "recessional" song for everyone, including you and the groom, to walk back down the aisle the other way. A lot of people use the reprise of the wedding march for that (you know, DUM DUM da DUM DUM da da DUM da da DUM da DUM...") but as always, you can pick whatever song you really want.

As for length, you should have the quartet or whoever perform the selections prior to the ceremony all the way through. The length of the processional and recessional really depends on the size of your venue and how long it takes everyone to walk all the way down the aisle.

Congrats!
I also had a traditional wedding so I had my pianst just play some random traditional wedding music while everyone was being seated. Then when it was time for the bridesmaids I did Prelude "Forever In Love" by Kenny G. When I came down the aisle it was 閳ユ窂ridal Chorus閳?by Richard Wagner. Then after the announced us man and wife and we went back down the aisle it was the traditional "Wedding March by Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. Another popular one for that though is "Oh Happy Day".
If you're having a traditional church wedding then you should check with the music coordinator/director there. They usually have a list of when the songs are played and different ideas for them especially for weddings.
