I’m dealing with a lot of brides who are very anxious about their wedding entrance song. All brides want that perfect wedding entrance song to walk down the aisle to! As I tell every bride & groom, song choice is a matter of preference – the entrance song chosen should always mean something to both bride & groom. (Although in reality, the groom won’t always get a say in this one – sorry guys!!)
Most brides will know exactly what song they want to walk down the aisle to, others however are unsure and need a little guidance. (Contrary to what some articles will tell you – not every bride has every little detail of her wedding planned from the time she was 5 years old – so don’t stress it if you’re one of those brides, your wedding singer will be delighted to guide you in the right direction!).
As such I decided to do a short list of the most popular bride entrance songs that I’ve been asked to do by brides and grooms over the years and they are as follows (in no particular order of preference!)
I hope you find this useful!
