Melbourne Wedding Music & Stringspace Info

There are 4 main sections in a wedding ceremony where music is usually performed:

1) As guests arrive and are seated
2) Processional - bridal party entrance music
3) Signing of the Register - usually about 8 minutes of music here
4) Recessional

Timing: From experience, Stringspace recommends booking for 1.5 hours for a wedding ceremony to cover all 4 sections.
