Ceremony Music Suggestions

At the ceremony, we'll curate a playlist to began as guests arrive. Then, when the ceremony is ready to begin, we'll transition to the featured music of the ceremony; the processional selection (when the brides maids begin to walk), bridal entrance, then at the conclusion of the ceremony the recessional (the grand exit). The playlists below will help give you some ideas for these selections.

Reception Event Music Suggestions

Aside from having a great music for the dance floor during the reception, there are some other important music selections you'll need to consider.

Grand Introductions

Most couples have a grand entrance, also known as a grand march, to introduce themselves as the newly-wed couple, introduce their wedding party, and let their guests know that the party can begin. Below are some song suggestions for the wedding party and the newly weds to be introduced to.

The First Dance

The first time a newlywed couple dances together at the wedding reception is known as the first dance. This is a much-anticipated event and a special pre-selected song is typically played while wedding guests look on. The dance floor is 'officially' open to guests following the first dance.

Parent Dances

The parent's dance is a wedding event where, in tradition, the bride dances with her father and the groom dances with his mother. These dances are commonly called the father-daughter dance and the mother-son dance.
