Wedding Ceremonies
We have additional sound systems available
for your wedding ceremony. Pictured
below is our early arrival at Fort Hunter in Harrisburg, PA. We always arrive with time
to spare to ensure preparedness for your wedding and this was no exception.
We have the music for any desired mood or setting formal Classical
to Celtic.
We provided Ceremony music for this elegant wedding at the
Chesapeake Bay Beach Club.
Some reasons why a separate sound system may be needed for your
wedding ceremony:
- Guitar/Soloist
- Outdoor ceremony
- No organ or piano
- Flexibility of "original artist" selections

Postlude
This is played after the recessional as guests are leaving. A postlude is not always needed, however if the guests are leaving slowly or waiting in line to greet you and your wedding party, it's nice to fill the time with music. |

| Selections for the Postlude may vary depending on the atmosphere desired, but will remain upbeat as guests leave the building to greet you and your wedding party -and help build momentum for the reception. |

Who walks up the aisle?
Varying with religious traditions, the order of who walks up the aisle will generally follow these rules:
The officiate, groom, and best man enter through a side door and wait at the altar.
The groomsmen escort the bridesmaids starting with the two who will stand farthest from the bride and groom.
Best man and maid of honor.
The ring bearer and/or flower girl.
The bride and her father, or other close family member. The bride walks on the left side.
Of course there are many variations. You are certainly free to make your own plans!
We look forward to hearing from you and will be happy to share more ideas and provide you with a free guaranteed price quote.
