Most weddings I have performed at, either as vocalist or organist, the bride and groom pretty much are aware of what they would like sung during the service or as pre-nup music. Won't even begin listing the odd things I have performed. I'm sure we all could come up with some quite funny stories.
One suggestion for her to begin "marketing" herself:
When I lived in Des Moines, they had a Wedding "Fair" at one of the local churches each fall. The idea for this event was for venders to show some of their new wares and brides to come and check out ideas. They also had a listing of singers, organist, etc who hired out for weddings and even had a short concert of some vocalists showcasing typical wedding music. Maybe there is something similar near her? Who knows. Also, if she is involved in a church, give her name to the choir director or organist. Many times as the wedding organist I was asked to suggest a singer if the couple had no one in particular in mind.
Good luck to her! John Peoples Music Plainview-Rover School Plainview, AR jpeoples-at-prhs.afsc.k12.ar.us
