Ceremony Music??

Question

At my ceremony, I am going to only have a piano player, no singing. What are some suggestions for music that should be played as the wedding party is coming in, at the signing of the marriage license and as the bride and groom leave. (I want the wedding march played as I come in...)

Answer 1

Try these sites, there are many to choose from, but also check with your pianist he/she may have a good suggestions and you want to make sure it is something they are familiar with or are comfortable playing. Good luck!

Answer 2

Just so poptart knows, in many ceremonies, you do have music for the signing of the register, which is done in front of everyone, usually at one side near the front of the church, before the minister/priest introduces you as husband and wife.
Some pieces which are beautiful with just piano are "Morning Has Broken" - it's retro, but beautiful when played; "Devoted to You" by the Everly Brothers; "Ave Maria" - either the traditional, or the one by Julia or Julie Rogers; songs by John Denver... such as "Annie's Song".

Answer 3

You don't sign the marriage license as part of the ceremony. That is done afterwards, not in front of everybody.

Does your church allow secular music? I know with ours it has to be a hymn or a religious song approved by the board memebers. "Ave Maria" is absolutely beautiful or "I can only imagine" are our two.

For our recessional I'm having them play "Hallelujah" since it took the groom long enough to get there!
