The prelude is usually 20 to 30 minutes in length. if you are having a very large wedding and are having a lot of out of town guests, you may consider having a longer prelude up to 45 minutes. For small weddings, the prelude may only be 10 to 15 minutes in length. For the prelude, you can make suggestions to the musicians of what you you may want played or sung. This is a good place to include selections that you were seriously considering for other parts of the ceremony but were not able to for whatever reason. Or you can let the musicians know the general style of music you would like for the prelude such as a variety of classical selections or popular music or hymn arrangements, etc.
