The Religious Rite
The music for the ceremony must fully represent the bride and groom. If the wedding takes place in a church with a religious rite, the advice is that of a classical ensemble such as harp and violin, string trio or violin, harp and soprano. This type of entertainment makes the place more romantic and goes well with the sacredness of the wedding. But also particular and original solutions such as guitar and voice, or accordion and clarinet are possible, always in agreement with the parish priest.
How many pieces are foreseen for the religious rite?
There are usually eight divided like this:
Welcome guests
Groom entrance
Bride entrance
Alleluia
Holy
Offertory
I sing to communion
Exit
There are also sub-funds during the exchange of promises and rings.
The Civil Rite
When, on the other hand, the rite is of a civil type, then you can wander and choose any type of music the spouses like. The song of the heart, romantic, pop or rock ... as long as you represent yourself! The civil ceremony can be officiated both in common and in the locations that provide for it. You can choose a guitar and voice duo, piano and voice or opt for a classic ensemble. If, on the other hand, you want to play more contemporary songs, you prefer the singer with a professional background.
