In Jewish services, the seating is opposite, with the bride's family on the right. Female guest are escorted by having the usher offer his right arm to her. Her date or spouse walks behind. Male guest are lead to their seats. If there are pew cards being used or a special reserved section, ushers should pay special attention as they escort these guest to their seats.
Ushers distribute any programs or ceremony handouts at the ceremony.
Ushers direct those bringing gifts to the ceremony to a gift table. If there is a guest book at the ceremony, ushers direct guest to sign it. Lastly , they escort the bride's mother to her seat, unless she is a accompanying her husband in the processional. Once everyone is seated, the groomsmen unroll the aisle runner in readiness for the processional. The Groomsmen may be part of the processional or they may take positions in the front with the best man or groom.
