Our Favorite Songs for the Perfect Wedding Ceremony!

Before the big party, there’s the aisle! What songs should you choose to accompany you and your VIPs for your wedding ceremony? Whether it’s a sandy beach or swanky ballroom or flowing meadow, the music helps bring everything together and set the vibe for the day to come.

Here are four sections to focus on when it comes to music for your wedding ceremony:

1.) SEATING MUSIC
When your guests first arrive, you’ll want to have music playing to greet them and set the tone. Here are some ideas:

SPOTIFY: Wedding Seating Music (formal)
SPOTIFY: Wedding Seating Music (fun!)

2.) BRIDAL PARTY PROCESSIONAL
Time to start the formalities! A few approaches we see work really well here:

  • Song starts - Groomsmen and Officiant enter, followed by Bridesmaids

  • Groomsmen and Officiant are already standing at the altar, then the Song starts and your Bridesmaids enter

3.) BRIDAL PROCESSIONAL
Here comes the bride! Some couples like to make this a continuation of the Bridal Party’s Processional and keep the same song going. Some pick an entirely new song to signify the Bride’s entrance. It’s totally up to you! Either way, pick something that feels special to you - maybe it’s a strings version of your favorite band, or a special acoustic song from your first date.

4.) RECESSIONAL
OK, the kiss was perfect, the rings are exchanged, it’s time to kick off the party! We love it when this song is upbeat, light, and tone setting for the fun to come.

Still undecided? No problem! Let us know which genre and vibe you’re going for and we’ll curate a custom request list just for your big day. All the personal touches make the difference, and it all starts with the music.

Cheers!
