Jewish Wedding Ceremony

To see our list of Jewish wedding music click here.

Prelude: The 20-30 minute period prior to the ceremony when guests are seated. Frequently couples choose to have a mixture of classical and Jewish music played during the prelude.

Badeken: This takes place in orthodox weddings immediately preceding the processional. The groom and groomsmen cover the bride's face with her veil and then proceed directly to the ceremony.
Simon Tov | Od Yishoma
The Processional: This music, for the entrance of the wedding party, can be performed or without cantor.
Chorsat Ha-Ekoliptus | Erev Ba | Erev Shel Shosanim | Hana'ava Babanot
The Ceremony: Traditionally, there is no instrumental music during the ceremony.

The Recessional: The music that begins immediately after the breaking of the glass. It marks the end of the ceremony proper and is played while the wedding party exits from under the chuppah. Siman Tov is a traditional recessional song, but many others are appropriate.
Dodi Li | Od Yishoma | Oseh Shalom/Friedman | Siman Tov
Postlude: Celebratory music for the departure of the guests.
