Wedding entrance aisle songs are all about creating the perfect mood – and a memorable moment.
Have you ever wondered what songs to play at a wedding as the bride and groom walk down the aisle? I know it’s not something that we think about very often, but if you’ve ever been to a wedding reception – there was music playing as they entered. Possibly even classical music. And that’s because every couple gets to choose their own song for their entrance. But this is usually done without any prior research or thought gone into it and can be a little disappointing when you hear the first 3 bars of ‘Here comes the Bride’ played on a Casio synth.:-) This is why I’ve written this post - to give you a list of possible Best Wedding Entrance Aisle Songs.
After years of experience DJ-ing at weddings, I’ve managed to compile a list of the best wedding aisle songs. This is perhaps one of the most underrated decisions when it comes to organising your dream wedding event. That being said, you need to know what song will be played when you walk down the aisle. If you are part of a nondenominational wedding, or you are not religious but would still like your guests to join in on singing “Ave Maria” by Schubert, then you might want to consider these songs listed here. Some of them contain lyrics that can be singsongy enough for you to understand so that you won’t feel nervous during the walk down the aisle.
Every bride needs a wedding aisle song! What song plays while your guests await for your arrival and tries to look as lovely as possible? There are so many songs! Best wedding entrance aisle songs are basic part of your wedding preparation. It could be funny, gut-wrenching or even very romantic, but it will always be important. Naturally, the best one should be chosen after careful consideration.
