Including vocalist in ceremony program?

hollinsmcclendon

I'm planning to have a vocalist perform during the wedding ceremony. I'm trying to see how to have them integrated into the ceremony program without it being awkward. I'd prefer them perform at the ceremony vs. the reception, but not sure if that would be better in terms of logistics and execution.

Every wedding program I have ever seen has been mainly an order of service, so you would just put the vocalist and the song they are performing in the appropriate spot. So, to borrow this sample from some random website (1st result from googling wedding program wording):

THE CEREMONY 
Prelude .......................... "You Came Along" 
Solo .................................."Love is in the Air" 
Lighting of the Candles 
Seating of the Mothers 
Processional ..................."Canon in D" 
Invocation 
Wedding Message .........Rev. Tom Anderson 
Solo ..................................."On Bended Knee"
Exchange of vows 
Exchange of rings 
Announcement of marriage 
Solo .................................."Forever More" 
Presentation of the Bride and Groom 
Recessional ..................."Ode to Joy" 

This one had the soloist's name listed with the officiant, parents, wedding party, etc. on the other side of the page, but you could easily include their name in the above listing with the song.
