Perfect Wedding Music
Every wedding is different and Mary Jane will work with you to find the music that’s just right for your day. Contact Mary Jane for your private consultation.
Music reflects your own style and lends grace and dignity to your wedding ceremony.

Generally, wedding ceremony music consists of the following:
- Prelude music while the guests are arriving
- Special piece for the seating of the mothers and grandmothers
- Processionals for the bridesmaids and then for the bride
- Softer music for unity candle lighting, sand ceremonies, or communion
- Recessional – hurray!
- Postlude while the guests depart
