Music for your wedding Ceremony

Wedding Ceremony Music

When planning the music for your wedding ceremony there are a lot of things to consider.  What is the feeling you envision?  Are you wanting a more traditional sound, or do you want a more modern feel for your ceremony.  Often brides have a specific song already picked out that they want to walk down the aisle to.  It helps to pick the rest of the music for the ceremony so that it coordinates or compliments the bridal processional.  If the processional is an orchestral piece, then typically you will want to use orchestral music for the rest of the ceremony.  Other songs and music you will need  include, music that will be played for the 30 minutes while guests arrive (Prelude), songs for parents and bridesmaids to walk into (Processionals), as well as a song for the married couple to march out to (the Recessional), and finally some music for the 10 to 15 minutes after the wedding ceremony while guests are leaving the ceremony site (Postlude).  Below, we have compiled a list of some common wedding songs and music typically used for different parts of the ceremony, as well as some nontraditional song ideas.  Remember there is no right or wrong music.  If you want a more traditional feel, orchestral music would be appropriate.  


If you want to more traditional aesthetic of orchestral music but want to keep the mood a little lighter, you can modernize the orchestral vibe by using instrumental covers of modern songs. Artists like Vitamin String Quartet and The Piano Guys are great examples of more traditional sounding strings covers of modern songs.  


Wanting to keep things fun and more reflective of your own style?  Then know that you don't have to use string music at all.  You can use Jazz, folk, R&B, or even modern pop music for your wedding ceremony.  Decide the tone you are trying to set, and then work around that. Modern and Indie love songs make great wedding music and the lyrics can convey so much emotion!


 In our online planning system, there is a custom ceremony planner to assist you with planning your ceremony.  Below you can find some song ideas for different parts of your wedding ceremony.
