The prelude is designed to provide guests with music while they wait for the ceremony itself
to begin. Historically, the prelude includes quiet, and meditative classical music that is
designed to evoke the solemnity and joy typical of a marriage ceremony. However, the prelude
has now evolved into a time to entertain guests. Either way, the prelude typically starts
from 10 to 20 minutes before the ceremony. The musician that is in charge of the prelude
should generally plan to be able to play anywhere from 5 to 15 songs, depending on the legnth
of the prelude. The need for additional songs can arise if the ceremony starts later than it
was intended to start. The prelude generally sets the overall tone for the wedding.
