I agree with AK - his book is excellent.

Also, make sure that you understand if the accompanist can actually get the job done. I've been stranded a couple of times with an accompanist who quit playing before the processional was over and I had to finish alone. Not good. I use contracts now that specify that I must approve who the accompanist.

Make sure that the official conducting the ceremony approves of the music ahead of time. This is especially true in Catholic services where some dioceses have a "do not play" list. The Wedding March (Mendelssohn) is sometime forbidden because it comes from the story of a prostitute in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
