Exit Music
Normally the ceremony requires 4 to 5 songs. If your choice is not on the list – please don’t worry! The above is just a sample of what we do. We are very happy to learn one new song per ceremony.
Orla is also happy to provide background music while your guests wait for the ceremony to start at no extra charge.
