Top 10 Wedding Processional Songs for Every Couple (90+ Ideas)

It may seem like a relatively simple task, but choosing wedding processional songs has been stumping couples for decades.

Unlike the first dance song, which usually has significant meaning or emotional value, the music accompanying your grand entrance as you head into your wedding venue tends to be a less obvious choice and can raise dilemmas: Lyrics or no lyrics? Classical or contemporary? Upbeat or subdued? Throw in the fact that the options practically reach the point of infinity, and it’s easy to see why selecting ceremony music can lead to agonized decision-making for couples. Keep reading for our advice on how to choose your wedding processional songs.

How Many Songs Are in a Processional?

In short: It depends. A processional can have as few as one and as many as four songs total. If you are set on one song and can find—or have someone play—it long enough for everyone to get down the aisle, there's no reason to have any more. However, a processional can also have specific songs playing while the parents and grandparents enter; groom and groomsmen enter; bridesmaids, flower girl, and ring bearer enter; and, finally, the bride or groom. And that's if you don't choose another recessional song... or recessional songs (though, at that point, we encourage against).

The wedding music you choose will set the tone for your celebration. But don't worry if you can't fit in all of your favorites. You still have your first dance, and perhaps a mother-son dance or father daughter-dance.

How to Choose Your Wedding Processional Song

Like with most things, when a couple finds themselves on the hunt for the perfect processional song, they head straight to Google for some much-needed help. We’ve all been down this path a time or two; it usually turns into a giant time suck where hours of time are lost in Internet land. On top of all that, you’ll inevitably get lots of unwanted recommendations from well-meaning but pushy friends and relatives. If this starts to happen to you (or if you are already stuck on this frustrating path), our advice is to take a deep breath, back away from the search bar, and reassess.

Remember: planning your wedding day is supposed to be a fun, memorable experience…not a panic-inducing nightmare. That’s right; even deciding your processional music should be all about having a good time and enjoying the ride. Here’s how to avoid the whirlwind scenario:

1. Do Some Self-Reflection

Do you want the songs to be meaningful to your relationship, or would you rather choose something that strikes you in the moment? Do you want your music to fit the tone of your day, whether it be offbeat, traditional, romantic, or laid-back? Do you find yourself drawn to a certain genre, such as classical or indie? Ask yourself questions like these early on to avoid falling into the all-too-common habit of questioning your feelings as you begin browsing processional songs.

2. Search for Songs

Explore options that fit the criteria you established in step one and keep a running list of songs that you adore. This will help you prevent becoming overwhelmed by countless options.

3. Don't Worry About Other Opinions

It’s your day, so if you want to walk down the aisle to a unique song pick, go ahead. It really doesn’t matter what your guests will think. Go with what makes you happiest.

4. Make It Fun

Make choosing your wedding processional songs a fun thing to do with your spouse-to-be by sitting down one night with a few glasses of wine and listening to your favorites together. Trust us, there are amazing love songs out there just right for your big walk down the aisle; they’re just waiting to be discovered.

Wedding Processional Song Ideas

To give you an idea of the different styles of music you can use in your upcoming wedding (meaning, not just Mendelssohn's "Wedding March"), we’ve put together a list of our favorite wedding processional songs. We took a great deal of time making sure our selections were anything but cheesy, over-used, and one-dimensional. After all, not everyone is dying to walk down the aisle to “Here Comes the Bride.” Quirky, classic, sentimental, historic—all wedding ideas have a place here. So without further ado, here's wedding processional songs to inspire your search for dream-worthy wedding ceremony music.

For the Classic Couple

1. “Dawn” By Andrew Lapp

Remember that beautiful film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice starring Keira Knightly? Well, this, our friends, is the stunning piano arrangement that comes and goes throughout the film. We appreciate the loveliness of the music most of all, but its connection to this incredible love story definitely seals the deal.

2. “Air” By George F. Handel

Although the majority of songs that made our list are not often top picks, we had to include at least one song that’s been a longtime processional favorite. There are dozens of songs in this category that we could’ve chosen, but the stunning sounds of “Air” made our decision easy.

3. “The Four Seasons Recomposed: Spring I” By Max Richter (Cover)

This particular movement, Spring I, is bright and anticipatory—a thrilling way to begin your classical wedding.

6. “Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major” By Yo-Yo Ma

7. “Carnival of the Animals: The Swan” By Yo-Yo Ma, Kathryn Stott (Cover)

For the Romantic Couple

For the Show-Stopping Couple

1. “At Last” By Etta James
