Wedding music brings back fond memories. We often choose it under the influence of emotions. If you want to conjure up a unique atmosphere, think about the organ being accompanied by a violin, cello, viola or harp. Check what you should remember before inviting musicians or a soloist to the ceremony!
Music for the wedding: how to choose it?
To keep the ceremony appropriate and solemn, opt for classical music. According to tradition, the Young Couple should walk to the altar to the accompaniment of organs. However, some couples are looking for other solutions to spice up the ceremony and give it a unique character. They usually choose a violinist, vocalist, cellist or string quartet. Sometimes they opt for a trio or a string quartet or a vocal ensemble. In addition, the instruments perfectly harmonize with the church organs, and sometimes completely replace them.
However, before you start looking for suitable musicians, make arrangements with the parish priest and the organist. Make sure they don't mind, otherwise you're setting yourself up for unnecessary nerves.

How to take care of the wedding music?
The organ is a key instrument in church music. Sometimes, however, it happens that the singing or playing of the local organist will not necessarily appeal to us. Then it is worth talking to him and the clergyman whether a harpist, violinist or vocalist can appear at the ceremony. Such music for the wedding will put the Bride and Groom and guests in a romantic mood. If the parish priest and the organist agree, agree on what pieces will be performed and in what order. In the meantime, remember to wedding repertoire arrange with the band or DJ.
Be gentle, classy and understanding. To avoid awkward situations, suggest that traditional elements of the service be left to the organist, and that the musician or musicians perform only at pre-agreed times. Of course, ask the organist to rehearse with them. However, you should take into account that he will not always have time for this.
