PRELUDE MUSIC.  The prelude is a signal that the wedding is about to begin! About twenty minutes before the Bride enters and while guests are arriving the harpist plays a variety of pieces to set the tone for the service.
  
PROCESSIONAL FOR THE BRIDESMAIDS AND ATTENDANTS INCLUDING RING BEARERS.  To create an elegant flow in the ceremony it is best for the harpist to play only one piece to accommodate all of the attendants.      

PROCESSIONAL FOR THE BRIDE (BRIDAL ENTRANCE).  Generally a stately piece with a steady tempo is played.   

SPECIAL MUSIC (optional).  A harp solo is often played as background music for some event in the ceremony, e.g. the lighting of a unity candle, the reading of a scripture or other meditative pause.  

RECESSIONAL.  A grand and joyous piece is played as the Bride, Groom and all of the attendants exit the area. 

POSTLUDE.  Five to ten minutes of music is played as guests exit the area.
