    If it is too high, the tendency of the guests is to keep silent or even worst, shout just to reach the high pitch.

    The hymns being used in your wedding ceremony need to be well rehearsed and planned in advance, it is not just a matter of selecting the songs being used and then leaving it up to chance. You should listen to them as they practice so that you will be able to give your own suggestions on how the song will be performed. The decisions as to what hymns to be used should be made well in advance to allow adequate time for all the music to be prepared to an excellent standard.

    Hymns are played in weddings at specific times for specific purposes, when selecting your hymns you need to always be mindful of this. Hymns are played in the beginning of the service, after the wedding ceremony, the gift giving, the communion, and the recessional. If you have any queries as to what style of hymn would be appropriate at a certain time in your wedding ceremony make sure you ask the advice of the celebrant, musical director or music organiser.
