Do I need to choose music for the prelude and postlude as well?

Most couples leave this up to us.

We perform the prelude and postlude music as your guests mingle, as they are seated, and as they exit. Because this music serves to create an atmosphere rather than to accompany a specific part of the ceremony, we find that it sometimes works best when we choose pieces moment by moment, according to the "feel" of the gathering. We are very experienced at knowing just when a lively upbeat piece may be called for, and when something slower and more reflective is appropriate.
