Prelude Wedding Music

Prelude wedding music is light music that sets the mood while your guests arrive, take their seats, and await the start of your wedding ceremony. The prelude music should begin when the doors open, or in the event of an outdoor wedding ceremony, when the first guests arrive. This can be as early as 30 to 45 minutes prior to the beginning of the wedding ceremony. As a general rule, prelude music should be played softly in the background – loud enough for people to hear but quiet enough so that people can converse with one another.Remember that your prelude music sets the tone for your ceremony, so choose your songs carefully. We have compiled hundreds of sample songs to browse for your prelude music.
