Selecting the songs that will be played for the various parts of your wedding day can be fun but feel a bit overwhelming at times. I always recommend that you choose songs that feel personal to you both as a couple. Feel free to use the songs below to help your planning!
The Wedding Procession Song:
This song will play while the wedding party, officiant, parent, and grandparents walk down the aisle. In other words, this is the song that signals to all of your guests that the ceremony has started and that it times to settle into their seats. A few of my favorites songs for the Processional songs are:
-You & Me – Dave Matthews Band
-Best Day of My Life – Vitamin String Quartet
