6 Unique Wedding Ceremony Prelude Playlists

What vibe do you want to create before you walk down the aisle? Here are 6 unique wedding ceremony prelude playlists to help you get the creative juices flowing. Typically, the ceremony prelude music is elegant, instrumental, and low-volume…but you’re the boss. As a DJ, I say, “Why not get some toes tapping?” It is recommended that you have 5-15 songs selected. Typically the pre-ceremony music is only going to run for 10-25 minutes. If you or your crowd tends to run late, you might want to pick additional songs.
