How to Choose Your Wedding Ceremony Music?
Choosing the right ceremony music for your wedding is important to create the right atmosphere and set the mood for your special day. Here are some tips for selecting music for each part of the ceremony:
Prelude Ceremony Music
This is the music that plays as guests are being seated and waiting for the ceremony to begin. Choose music that is welcoming, calming, and sets the tone for the rest of the ceremony. Consider instrumental music or songs with lyrics, depending on your personal preference.
Parents Seating Music
This is typically a quiet and serene piece of music that signifies the arrival of the parents of the bride and groom. Choose something that is meaningful and appropriate for the occasion. Classical pieces such as “Ave Maria” by Schubert, “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” by Bach, or a contemporary instrumental piece such as “In My Life” by The Beatles can be excellent options.
Processional Music
This is the music that plays as the wedding party walks down the aisle. Choose a song that is meaningful to you and your partner, and that creates the right mood for the occasion. Popular choices include “Canon in D” by Pachelbel, “The Wedding March” by Mendelssohn, or a contemporary love song such as “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Various artists.
Bride’s Processional Music
This is the music that plays as the bride walks down the aisle. Choose a song that is special and meaningful to you and your partner. Classical pieces such as “Bridal Chorus” by Wagner or a contemporary song such as “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri can be excellent options.
Recessional Music
This is the music that plays as the wedding party exits the ceremony. Choose a celebratory and upbeat song that signifies the joyous occasion, such as “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” by Stevie Wonder or “Best Day of My Life” by American Authors.
Remember to consult with your wedding DJ to ensure that the music you choose is appropriate for the venue and the type of ceremony you are having. If you are at a loss when it comes to selecting music for your ceremony, ask your DJ for some examples for you to listen to. Visit my Spotify to preview the Top requested ceremony songs of today.
