Brandon Kim reporting for IFC:

Music is omnipresent in Rachel Getting Married, and it's also all live and seemingly spontaneous, drawing the audience in with the characters as if we're all there together hearing the same thing at the same time. How did that musical set affect your performance?

That set, especially the Buchman household, was bristling with music from the time we showed up 'til we left. There were instruments all over the place, and a wedding band who also provided most of the soundtrack, much of which was recorded live as the action progressed. The way it affected my performance, and I think everyone's, probably, was that we had this music as another character in the scene to play with, or against. There's a scene where Kym (Anne Hathaway's character) breaks away from a very tense conversation and screams "Are they gonna play all fucking weekend?!?", in reference to what's essentially the film's soundtrack. Totally ad-libbed, kinda hilarious, expressing a very real concern.
