A popular wedding couple question over my last few ceremony planning meetings: How they should play music during their ceremony if they’re not having a live musician or band.
One simple option is to create a Spotify/Napster/Limewire playlist and play it through your celebrant’s PA system. Most celebrants, myself included, are more than happy to help make this work.
The biggest tip I can give is to assign someone the role of “Ceremony Music Person Number 1” well before the wedding day. While it sounds simple, it’s difficult to perform a ceremony and manage the music at the same time, so having a trusted friend or family member responsible for pressing play is always a good idea.
The most common music moments are your pre ceremony playlist as guests arrive, the processional, signing of the marriage documents, the recessional, and post ceremony music while photos are taking place.
A little planning goes a long way, so get those playlists perfected for your upcoming 2026 Adelaide wedding! 🎵
