Wedding Ceremony Music

The music for weddings is dependent on what kind of ceremony you're having. Civil ceremonies, church weddings and alternative celebrations all tend to have varying numbers of songs. Usually, you'll need some music during the walk down the aisle (we'll get to that a bit later!). You'll also want a few songs during the signing of the register if you're having a civil ceremony. This is then followed by a song during the recessional, which is when the newly married couple exits. If you're having a church wedding, it's slightly different. As it is a religious ceremony, there will be more hymns involved during the congregation. Finally, if you're having an alternative wedding (i.e. a Humanist wedding), the choice is yours! The options are limitless, as there are fewer rules in place for these kinds of celebrations.

So, what about the actual music? Whether you want a DJ, a live band, a few speakers or a choir, essentially, it's up to you. But we do have some suggestions if you're struggling to choose! Piano music and string quartets are a fan favourite for ceremonies. And with good reason! Classic melodies put everyone at ease whilst simultaneously creating a romantic atmosphere. If you're not usually into this kind of music, worry not. We've got a whole article on modern wedding songs that can be performed classically - best of both worlds! We've seen lots of modern music turned classic, especially in Bridgerton. Speaking of, Bridgerton music is perfect for wedding ceremony music - a great meet in the middle if you want romantic, classical tunes that you can recognise.
