Music for the Wedding Ceremony
The traditional wedding ceremony includes music in four locations:
- Prelude music as guests are being seated
- Processional for entrance of the bridesmaids, parents, and bride
- Ceremony music during the lighting of the unity candle, communion, or after the exchange of vows
- Recessional as the bridal party and guests depart
"Our experience with Naomi was wonderful; she is very professional... she was able to suggest the perfect music...I would highly recommend Naomi... our guests raved about her talent"
