6:30 PM?
The contract reflects the actual time-period for which the musician(s) are engaged.
Typically, a wedding ceremony that begins at say 6:00 PM will be preceded by approximately
a half hour of prelude music to entertain your guests as they arrive and are seated.
Wedding ceremonies & cocktail hours are generally handled as “incidentals” with
an addendum to the primary contract. Once the band has been secured we will send
a ceremony package containing a CD with available repertoire as well as suggestions
for your review. There are three pieces of music, which you will need to choose:
The bridal party processional, the bridal processional, and the recessional. Once
we have determined your musical selections, we can then recommend some instrumentation
options.
Generally, the ensemble chooses the music. In any case, since you are a member of
the wedding party you will not hear the majority of the prelude music. As a rule,
we select from a broad range of prelude pieces in order to entertain your guests
with some musical variety.
