  Usually there is some prelude music, (while guests are being seated) Processional for the bridesmaids to walk down the aisle. Bridal processional for the bride to walk to (sometimes the BMs and bride walk to the same song, sometimes it's 2 songs). Sometimes there is a song during the ceremony, like if you have a soloist sing a song, or if you are having communion, there may be one or two songs for that. The recessional song is what the bride and groom, and wedding party exit to. **But, your MOH cannot be two places at once. She cannot play all the music (unless it's pre recorded) AND walk in the processional/recessional also. But if you want her to play a specific piece during the ceremony, she can take leave the altar, play the music, then resume her place by you at the altar.

  There are many places she could play, you just need to decide where you want her. I play violin as well, but in the weddings I've been in the brides have asked me to play a song during the unity candle/sand pouring/whatever rather than during the processional so I can be a part of that. Or, she could be a part of the processional and just step aside and play your entrance song. I do agree it can be awkward to have a mid-ceremony song when nothing else is going on, but if you're doing any kind of unity thing that's always a good time to have one.
