THE ROLE OF MUSIC DURING THE WEDDING CEREMONY
Couples may play a large role in choosing their music, or they may express a preferred style of music to the musicians, but leave the selection of pieces up to the professionals. Below you will find a typical scenario for enhancing your ceremony with music with links to sound clips of the Tinuses playing pieces that might be suitable during each point in the ceremony.

Once you have made your decisions fill out the musicians worksheet, and return it to musicians at least three weeks before your celebration.
When choosing music for your reception, think of the atmosphere you wish to create. Remember to have some time when guests can visit without competing with the music. It is a good idea to have one type of music during cocktails and switch to another style after dinner.
