Your ceremony music has several components which you may or may not have considered.

Prelude : 20-30 minutes of music is played while your guests are being seated, to set the atmosphere and relax your guests.

Pre-processional: a selection which is louder and grander than the Prelude music, to which the wedding party attends the front of the venue. 2-3 minutes

Processional : this selection is the music to which the bride and her attendant (usually her father) will walk down the aisle. It should be stately, with good tempo, and set the mood of the rest of the proceedings. 1 minute

Signing of the Registry: a vocal soloist or piano interlude is often an appropriate choice here. It is when the newly married couple sign all the documentation in support of the marriage. The selection can be mellow or 'lazy' - it should not draw attention away from the couple. 2-3 minutes.

Recessional: Lively, bright, joyful. This selection should pipe the newlyweds back down the aisle and provide enough time to empty approximately half of the guests to the cocktail area. 2-3 minutes. (5-6 minutes if the reception is in a different building)
