“A Guide to Choosing Your Wedding Music” by: Chris Berry, Soundwave Productions
Music is a big part of most weddings, and if you've already started planning yours, you know there are more than a few decisions to be made. Whether you decide to hire a band, DJ or play through your iPod, we have a wedding music guide to help you through. Below, you'll find all the major categories for music you'll need to figure out, as well as other parts of the day you may not have thought of yet. Check out the list for guidelines on music you need to think about, whether you're an indie rock bride or a country Western couple.
Processional This is the music that accompanies the walk down the aisle. You'll need to pick a song for your bridesmaids to walk down the aisle to, and then a song for the bride's entrance. There are traditional choices like "Here Comes the Bride," of course, but you can do other classic alternatives like Pachelbel's Canon in D (like in Father of the Bride) or something totally different to personalize it. Love a song but not the lyrics? Have an instrumental version played. We have a few ideas for the processional here: Click Here
Recessional
The recessional is like the opposite of the processional — it's when you walk down the aisle, but the other way. For your big exit, you could go with something more upbeat because the pressure is off now that you've gotten through the vows. (Think the scene in Love Actually when the band plays "All You Need Is Love.") Here are some ideas for the recessional: Click Here
Cocktail Hour Music If you choose to host a cocktail hour between the ceremony and reception, it's good to have a playlist of songs to set the mood. The music should be low-key but convivial you're not trying to get anyone to dance yet, but you don't want to put anyone to sleep either.
Reception Entrance This is a song to mark the bride and groom's entrance into the reception, usually with the wedding party in tow. It should be celebratory, not unlike the recessional song, and it's a good chance to set the tone for the party. If you want to introduce your wedding party first, you'll also need a separate song for them. Here are some suggestions Click Here
The First Dance
Yes, everyone knows they need a first dance, but most people struggle trying to find the perfect song. If you don't already have "your song," we have plenty of first dance song suggestions here: Click
Father/ Daughter Dance
Here
Traditionally, the father of the bride takes a spin with his daughter on the dance floor at some point. It can be something personal or traditional, and if you need some father/daughter dance song ideas, we've got them here: Click Here
Mother/ Son Dance
Similarly, you can also have a separate mother/son dance or simply integrate that into the father/daughter dance at the same time. Here are some mother/son suggestions: Click Here
Cake Cutting
If you make your cake-cutting a ceremonial event, pick out an upbeat song since it is usually a sweet part of the evening. (Tip: if you have a first dance song that you rule out because it's too fast-paced, it might be perfect for cake-cutting.) Here are some ideas: Click Here
Bouquet Toss
For this fun part of the wedding, another upbeat song is in order, and since you're commanding the wedding's single ladies to the floor, you can go literal ("Single Ladies") or pick another fun song. There’s literally so many good choices for this occasion. Here are a few we’ve used in the past: Click Here
Garter Removal/ Toss
The same rules apply something fun (and possibly humorous) to get all the single guys on the dance floor. Classics like “Mission Impossible” or “Danger Zone” are a fun play on words as the event takes place. Here are a few ideas: Click Here
Last Dance
The last dance is the finale to your incredible day and, much like an extraordinary piece of art, an opportunity for you to place your signature on it. Whether you choose to bring your reception to an end with a high-energy last dance song selection or on a romantic note, chances are you’ll find something you like on our list: Click Here
