A Note On Seating

First and Second Rows: Immediate Family, Parents, Siblings, Grandparents

Third thru Fifth Rows: Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Godparents, Stepfamily, other Special Guests.

In Christian ceremonies, the bride's mother is always the last person to be seated (right after the groom's mother), signifying that the ceremony is about to begin.

Generally, in Christian ceremonies, the bride's family and guests sit on the left (when entering from the back) and groom's side takes over the right. For Jewish services, it's reversed. A mixed marriage? Either choose a system that works for you or don't have a bride and groom's side.

Traditionally, an usher offers his right arm to a female guest, while her male escort follows them down the aisle. If that seems to formal for your crowd, the ushers can merely greet guests at the door and say, "Please follow me" or "Hello, right this way". Plan to have one usher for every fifteen guests to keep things flowing. A groomsman can double as an usher to help out.

Ceremony Details
If the ceremony will be held in a Church, you will not typically need additional sound equipment or our microphones. However, if the ceremony will be held at any other location, for example at a country club, outdoors, at the beach, you may want us to provide a ceremony sound system and wireless microphones. This ensures that all your guests can hear your ceremony music as well as the ceremony itself. Even if you have live music at your ceremony it is a good idea to have microphones for the spoken portion of the ceremony.
