Hobart Wedding Music & Info
Music has an important and transformative role to play in your ceremony. It sets the mood and atmosphere for your day.
There are 4 main sections in a wedding ceremony where music is usually performed:
1) As guests arrive and are seated
2) Processional – As you walk down the aisle.
3) Signing of the Register – While you sign your papers (approx. 8 minutes).
4) Recessional – Immediately after you are announced as married.
Timing: From experience, Stringspace recommends booking for 1.25 – 1.5 hours for a wedding ceremony to cover all 4 sections.
