How do you choose the best wedding entrance songs for your wedding? First, you need to know exactly what we’re referring to. You may be thinking of the newlyweds and/or the wedding party entrance. Those are only two parts of your wedding where you’ll need music. You’ll also need wedding entrance songs for your ceremony. Let’s go over all three grand entrance song areas and how to pick them. Also, I’ll give you some song ideas along with a tip to help you make any song a wedding entrance.

The wedding ceremony entrance songs consist of the processional for the parents and close family, the processional for the bridesmaids and the processional for the bride. Sometimes the parents and bridesmaids all walk down to the same song, but the bride usually walks down to her own song. You can use traditional wedding songs here or songs like From This Moment by Shaniah Twain, for example. Mainly, couples are looking to find wedding entrance songs reception. They’ve seen videos of weddings using the best wedding entrance songs and they want theirs to emulate that. The wedding reception entrance songs that work best are high energy and fun.

Your wedding party entrance songs are usually upbeat wedding entrance songs. Reason being, this is the kick off to your celebration. You have a couple of choices to make. Usually, the wedding party enters as couples to one song as the DJ announces their names. I suggest you choose a song for each duo and let them go a little crazy! You can even have your MC share background information on them as they come in, like who they are to you or how long you’ve known them. Personalizing your entrance is always a good option.

For the newlyweds, the options are endless. Many couples want to come in to funny wedding entrance songs. These include If You Want To Be Happy by Jimmy Soul (look up the lyrics!) and You’re The One That I Want from Grease. If you aren’t the joking type and would rather just come in to high energy fun wedding entrance songs, you could try Celebration and I Like It, I Love It by Tim McGraw. Finally, for you hopeless romantics, songs like I’ve Finally Found Someone and Wouldn’t It Be Nice work well. Whatever you want, you can make it a grand entrance.

You’ll notice that top wedding entrance songs have a big splash or a crescendo where the couple enters and the crowd goes wild. Most music isn’t like this, though. That’s not a problem. If you can, edit your song so it has 20 seconds of the beginning then mixes to the chorus! This way, you get your energetic part of the song right where it needs to be. Since you only want to be about a minute in length for the entrance song, editing is a good thing. If you can’t edit, you can always start the song 20 seconds before the entrance part of your song. Time it right and it will work exactly how you’ve always pictured it!

This above list of wedding entrance songs have been used at actual weddings and are tried and true.
