But what is a wedding without music? Of course, you want it to be dramatic! Music gives life to this wonderful event, and you might have already chosen your best songs. A prelude is music that is played at a wedding before the start of the ceremony. It is played while the guests are coming and taking their seats while waiting for the entourage and the bride to be ready.
A prelude usually lasts for 30 minutes. If you’re searching for the best songs for your playlist, here are some suggestions that will surely set the mood.
