Your ceremony music checklist
- Check the music rules for your ceremony with your registrar or vicar.
- Choose your aisle song first, then the register and exit songs.
- Send your violinist links to the versions you love, at least 4 weeks before.
- Agree who gives the cue for the entrance song, and tell your venue coordinator.
- Outdoors? Make sure there’s shade and cover for the violinist.
- Electric violin? Ask the venue for a power socket near where they’ll play.
