I’ve played in weddings before. You can’t time it perfectly. Suggest the musicians have the appropriate music ready that you have chosen for the processional. They will keep on eye on the attendants to know whether to repeat (another verse) to give more time for the processional. Or they will be able to tell when it’s time to let the music fade away when everyone is in place. You don’t normally get to the end of a piece of music at a time like this. It’s not a concert. Explain to them they need to look at it as background music to the events that are taking place. When the processional is finished, they end the music at an appropriate place.
