How To Choose A Grand Entrance Song

It's that moment where the guests have all taken their seats, the bridal party is lined up and the introductions are about to be made. All eyes are fixed on the doors while all ears are listening for the first names to be called over the speakers.

The Wedding Entertainment Director is about to press play on the song you have selected as accompaniment for that moment. What song is it?

Having the ability to refer to a list entitled "Grand Entrance Songs" can help you and your W.E.D. choose a final selection.

After all, who wouldn't want to pick the best wedding song to reflect the tone of the reception, honor your friends and family who stood up for you, and to fit your personalities?

Most couples choose an upbeat song rather than a slow romantic classical piece. Even at the most formal affairs, something a bit more lighthearted for wedding reception music is usually in order after the ceremony.

Choosing the song can be difficult. Your W.E.D. may be able to make suggestions after speaking with you as a couple, or your friends may have excellent suggestions. Consider the following questions when picking your wedding party's grand entrance song:

Will people recognize it, or is it too obscure to be appreciated?

Does it reflect our wedding party?

Does it reflect our personality as a couple?

Is it appropriate for our reception (not too formal, but nothing with foul language, either)?

Do I want just an instrumental version, or lyrics, too?

In the grand scheme of things, the grand entrance song may only be a two minute long presentation, but if you invest a little time in the subject, you could very likely pick the perfect song to kick off an unforgettable evening!
