My fiance and I knew we wanted great music for our wedding ceremony, but we didn’t know where to start. Diane and her pianist, JJ, were beyond helpful in the planning process-just extremely pleasant to work with. The great service they provide is second only to the beautiful music they will create for your occasion. We highly recommend Diane Martinson and her accompanists!

Beautiful Voice
Diane and JJ did such a great job, not only at the wedding itself but throughout the entire process! When we had our meeting to choose songs both Diane and JJ were so nice and happy to perform right in front of you so you knew exactly what you were getting. Diane has such a great voice and has a definite wow factor to everyone at the wedding. They are such genuinely nice people and are very flexible. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Music Planning for Your Wedding Ceremony

“Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart” — Pablo Casals

A complimentary consultation to plan song placement and preview ceremony music is provided 4 months before your wedding. I will sing and play through music options for you, and review any special requests. It’s best to have a copy of your ceremony outline from your officiant for our meeting.

It is my pleasure to provide custom song arrangements for my instrumental accompanists. My song arrangements compliment my vocal line and highlight the instrumentation.

I look forward to helping you select meaningful music that will enhance your special day.

Ceremony Music Order

Your officiant or church music director will be able to provide you with the ceremony order. I’ve also included an example of the placement of music in my planner PDF.

Prelude Music
Typically instrumental selections played 20 minutes prior to the ceremony while guests are being seated. A Vocal Prelude Solo may be sung during seating of family and lighting of the altar candles.

Processional
Music for the bridal party, the bride, or the couple’s entrance. This may be one longer song with a pause in the middle, or two music selections.

Wedding Ceremony Vocal Solos
Common places for solos can be in the beginning after the readings, after the homily, or during a unity candle or blessing section. Additional solos may be added depending on your ceremony. *Certain church services require additional music.

Recessional
Festive music for the wedding couple and bridal party exit (usually instrumental).

Postlude Music
Instrumental music while guests exit (usually selected by the musicians).

Special Song Requests

You can choose songs from Diane’s song list or she will happily learn your special request song. Special requests are typically due 3 months before the wedding.

Please provide a copy of piano/vocal sheet music and a link to a recording of the requested song. This will help Diane determine if there is a need for a key change or any other music alterations for accompanists. The fee is $30-$50 depending on the music and instrumentation – a quote will be given.

If you have a short order request or can’t furnish sheet music, Diane can transcribe music from the recording. The fee is $25-$50 depending on the music and instrumentation – a quote will be given.

Custom Music Arrangements

Diane offers custom music arrangements of songs for voice, piano, and other instruments. Using Diane’s musicians cuts costs from what it would be to hire other groups separately, then asking THEM to transcribe the music, arrange extra rehearsals, etc.

Diane offers the simplicity of one music contact person to coordinate everything for you, making it easy and fun to get the special music you want. You’ll be surprised how affordable it is to include custom music arrangements for your one of a kind ceremony.

Diane Martinson works with musical partner JJ Saecker (pianist) to provide custom music arrangements. They love creating musical arrangements and performances of songs that bring out the feel of the original artists and have special meaning for the listeners.
