Solo guitar music performed live for your wedding by Jim Lammers, will create a warm atmosphere that welcomes the guests to your event. The wedding music performance typically "surrounds" the actual ceremony. Before the ceremony begins, a soft guitar artistry will greet your guests as they arrive. This prelude music usually starts 30 minutes prior to the ceremony. When the actual ceremony begins, your specific processional requests are played for the wedding party entrances to help create the perfect mood for the ceremony you imagined. During the ceremony, you may decide that you want a special solo piece to be played or there may be a moment that is appropriate for some background interlude music--such as during candle lighting, sand ceremony, etc. At the conclusion of the ceremony, a recessional piece is played as the wedding party exits. This is followed by post-ceremony music that maintains the atmosphere as your guests leave.
