Below is an audio preview of your ceremony music: three Processionals and the Recessional. You can share this link with your wedding party to ensure flawless Processionals.

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
The Mother of the Bride and the Mother of the Groom will enter to this processional. The Processional will be timed to end when mothers are seated. It could therefore be either longer or shorter than this sample.
Be Thou My Vision
The flower girl, three bridesmaids, and three groomsmen will enter to this processional. The processional will be timed to finish when bridesmaids and groomsmen arrive at the arch. It could therefore be either longer or shorter than this sample. Please wait before the previous processional song has ended before entering.
Pachelbel Canon in D
The processional will be timed to finish when bride arrives at the arch. It could therefore be either longer or shorter than this sample. NOTE: For the Pachelbel Canon, consider waiting four measures (eight long notes) before walking down the aisle, especially if the aisle is short. This will allow the music to unfold. I've added a sample at the bottom of this page to illustrate the length of time bride should wait to enter)
Recessional: Rejoicing from the Royal Fireworks Music (Handel)
The recessional will play in its entirety while wedding party exits, to be followed by 15 minutes of Postlude Music.
Introduction to the Pachelbel Canon (For Bride)
Lisa, I suggest that you wait to hear these notes before entering to the Pachelbel Canon in D.

Prelude Music will begin at 3:15 p.m. Include the following music:

1. It is Well with My Soul

2. Amazing Grace

3. How Great Thou Art

4. Air on the G String (J. S. Bach)

5. Solo Cello Suite #1 excerpts (J. S. Bach)

6. Arioso (J. S. Bach)

7. Blessed Assurance

8. You Raise Me Up - This will be the last Prelude song I play before start of ceremony unless there is a delay. I will begin playing this song when the 4:00 shuttle has arrived and guests have disembarked and are seated. i.e., around 4:08 or 4:10.

PROCESSIONAL TIPS:

1. Let the music for the previous processional come to a complete end before the next processional begins.

2. If you reach the altar or arch before the music ends, don't worry! The music may continue a few measures to reach a graceful cadence.

3. The musician will "go silent" approximately 2 minutes before the first processional. If there is an unanticipated delay before the start of ceremony, designate someone to inform the musicians. Be as specific as possible, i.e., "play 10 more minutes, " or "play two more songs." This will avoid awkward silences while your guests await your arrival.

4. If the wedding party is entering from a place that is difficult to spot or out of view, you may wish to assign someone to inform musician that the ceremony is about to begin. That way, there will be no ambiguity

5. If possible, let the musician know what the officiant's last words will be before the recessional begins. Generally, it is the introduction of the bride and groom, but because this is not always the case, it is best to be certain. The musician may also check with the officiant if the opportunity is available before the ceremony.
