Top Genres and Themes for Grand Entrance Songs

Wedding entrance songs are often chosen with the crowd in mind, but that’s optional. You can pick something that hypes up your guests, or you can choose what feels most like you. Here are some common styles of wedding reception entrance songs:

Classic Rock Anthems 

Classic rock is a great choice for including older generations and partying hard. Some examples include:

Unique Wedding Reception Entrance Songs 

Some couples might want to kick off their wedding reception with something unconventional. After all, your wedding is all about you, your relationship, and your families getting together. There are plenty of options for wedding party entrance songs.

• Songs from a favourite video game, movie, or TV show add an intimate, personal touch. Think of theme songs that mean a lot to you, or music that captures the energy and outlook of your wedding day or relationship. 
• Disney songs can be just as much of a hit as they are unique. You don’t need to go for the popular ones if you want exclusivity.
• Instrumental, orchestral, or acoustic versions of pop songs add a twist to classic favourites.
• Mashups of multiple favourites give the best of both worlds. Make sure it reflects your personality and surprises your guests.
• You can also choose multiple songs if it’s hard to narrow down your favourites. You can pick bridesmaid entrance songs and groomsmen entrance songs separately. Depending on how you want your wedding party to enter, you can play with different songs.

How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Entrance Songs

Here are some things to consider when choosing thrilling wedding party entrance songs.

• What’s your couple personality? Are you silly together? Reserved? Energetic? Elegant? A quick search for songs with key terms like these will reveal numerous options.
• Try matching the song with the reception style. Create any vibe in a chic, historical wedding setting. Whether your decor is elegant, woodsy, neon, or something else, there’s a song that will match the style.
• Consider what tempo and energy you want to create. The beat and lyrics of a song will have a lot of sway. Rihanna’s lyrics will create a very different vibe than the Beatles’ lyrics, for example.
• Will you have groom and bridal party entrance songs? Find songs that play off each other or represent the different vibes between the wedding parties.
