Romance of the Renaissance relived through song. No wedding is complete without song to carry your love as it floats to a new dimension through words and harmony.
The Venetian offers a wide selection of music for any occasion. Listed below is our selection of chapel music offerings.
Prelude music
Music played during the arrival of guests as they are seated is called the prelude music. It will be heard for 20 minutes prior to the ceremony and will create a lovely mood by its serene nature and uplifting harmony. The prelude music will be played at a volume that creates a suitable background for reflection, and light conversation.
