How to Choose Your Wedding Entrance Song

  • Give yourself time: Much like your first dance wedding song, choosing your wedding entrance song isn’t something you should do at the last minute. Bridebook, the world’s #1 wedding planning platform used by over 2.8 million couples, recommends giving yourself at least two months to settle on your entrance song. If you’re planning something special, you might even want to give it longer than that.
  • Choose a track with meaning: Is there a song, artist or genre of music that holds meaning for you? Think back to your first date, the song that was playing in the car when you first kissed or the tune you always play on a Friday night. This will guide you towards a song that’s meaningful.
  • Capture the mood: What kind of tempo do you want to set for the wedding breakfast? This is a hugely celebratory moment, which is why so many couples choose an upbeat song, but you might also want something romantic, calming and which stirs up certain emotions.

Remember, it’s not just your chosen song that goes towards making your wedding entrance memorable. There are plenty of ways to make sure your official entrance goes down with a bang and is both entertaining and engaging.

Here are a few ways to make sure your wedding entrance is one that your guests won’t forget:

  • Plan a surprise element: This could be a choreographed dance routine, some unexpected guests or effects or something funny thrown in for good measure.
  • Incorporate lighting effects: Don’t just coordinate with your DJ or musicians on the music – see what they can do from a lighting perspective too.
  • Make things personal: Can you combine your entrance with your hobby? For example, if you’re known as a pair of movie geeks, you could walk in accompanied by your favourite film score.
  • Engage your guests: Don’t just walk or dance to your seats, find a way to engage your guests and make sure everyone is included.

Wedding Entrance Songs FAQ

What are the most popular wedding entrance songs?

Since a couple’s wedding reception entrance is such a joyful moment, the most popular wedding entrance songs are upbeat and designed to encourage guests to clap and cheer as the newlyweds arrive.

Popular favourites include ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling!’ by Justin Timberlake and ‘Love on Top’ by Beyoncé, as well as retro classics like ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered’ by Stevie Wonder and ‘Walking on Sunshine’ by Katrina and the Waves.

Can you have the same entrance song as your aisle song?

You could choose to have the same wedding entrance song as your aisle song – it’s your wedding day, after all. That said, most couples choose something different, particularly if they want to switch up the tempo.

What’s a good funny wedding entrance song?

There are plenty of funny wedding entrance songs out there to choose from, including ‘U Can’t Touch This’ by MC Hammer, ‘Sexy And I Know It’ by LMAFO and ‘Wannabe’ from The Spice Girls.

How do you coordinate a wedding entrance with music?

Your DJ, musicians or wedding coordinator will time the music to start as soon as you walk into the reception.

If there’s something specific in a song that you love, you might want to start the song part way through or ask the DJ to play it a little ahead of when you want to make your entrance. That way, it’ll be perfectly timed for you to make your appearance during your favourite part.

How long should a wedding entrance song be?

A wedding entrance song will typically play for around one minute, while you and your partner enter the venue and take your seats. That said, if you’re having a larger wedding – and therefore a more sizable venue – it might be necessary to play the song for a little longer than this.
