When it comes to romance, a wedding ceremony is as about as romantic as it gets, so it makes perfect sense to reflect this mood with a beautiful love song. It could be a bit of a shock for guests to go straight from gentle harp music to a heavy metal wedding song as you enter the ceremony space (although it would certainly make them take notice!).
You should also bear in mind the wedding song choices you’ll be making for when guests arrive and are waiting for your entrance as you may want to ensure the tone and style remains the same. Think about when you want it to end/ fade too, so you’re not awkwardly standing at the altar/ ceremony table waiting for the music to finish. It’s key to know in advance the best point in the music to start walking so you don’t just have the long intro playing and none of the main part of the song for example. Or ask your on-the-day musician to play it nice and slowly.Īlso, have a think about the length of the music. If you’ve found a wedding song and practised walking to it, but it feels too fast, search for instrumental/ acoustic versions which are usually slower. Choosing a nice slow wedding song will help you remember to walk slowly. You’ll want to savour every step and let all your guests get a glimpse of your gorgeous wedding dress (or suit) so the each step will be much slower than your usual gait. Walking down the aisle, isn’t like walking down the street. The most important of these is the tempo/ pace of the piece of music. There are certain qualities that make some wedding songs far superior to others when it comes to wedding ceremonies. It’s not simply just a case of finding a wedding song that you both love.
