The entrance of the bride is one of the highlights of a wedding ceremony and sets the tone for the rest of the day’s celebrations. 


Here comes the bride! One of the most memorable parts of your big day will be the moment the bride enters the room – it’s the first time the groom and the wedding guests will see the bride, so it’s essential to give that moment the impact it deserves!

To make a grand entrance, you’re going to need to pick a suitably grand entrance song to walk down the aisle to. Your choice of processional song will help set the tone for the rest of your wedding ceremony, and you can continue your chosen musical theme for other important moments, such as your first dance song.

When it comes to finding the perfect song for your bridal entrance, there are almost as many answers as there are songs. In truth the thing is there is no ‘right’ or ‘perfect’ song other than the one which has the most meaning for you as Bride.

Wedding Ceremony Songs

The music doesn’t have to stop when you reach your fiancé at the altar. You might prefer having quiet background noise for special parts of the ceremony, like during a candle lighting or a reading, or maybe just pause for a reflective piece of music which means something to you as a couple.

Wedding Recessional Songs

Once the ceremony is complete, the newlyweds will exit the ceremony room or leave the church altar, followed by the wedding party and guests. This is an excellent opportunity to play an upbeat song to celebrate the occasion and prepare guests for your reception. 

JAM Duo sometimes swap to the electric cello for this moment to give a more upbeat vibe to your exit. It’s not uncommon for people to be applauding and cheering as the newly weds leave the ceremony and this is a great moment for some lively upbeat music.
