Plan your wedding in the Hudson Valley of New York with the perfect organ accompaniment for your ceremony:

  1. The prelude music is music that is played during the time in which guests are arriving and being seated in the chapel for your wedding. You may listen to excerpts of the various compositions in order to assist you in the decision making process. 

  2. The wedding processional is the music that is played as the wedding party and the bride come down the aisle. Please note that when the bride is to come down the aisle, the organ music will adjust and become apparent that the bride is entering. You may choose a second processional piece if you prefer a different selection for the wedding party and the bride. 

  3. The wedding recessional is the music at the end of the ceremony that is played as the couple and the wedding party depart moving towards the rear of the building. Please choose one recessional piece.
