Entrance music

*J9*, 12 July, 2013 at 11:58 Posted on Planning 0 16

Hi all,

I'm after inspiration for music to walk down the aisle to. My OH and I don't really have any special songs (sad)

Also, as my bridesmaids are walking before me, I'm assuming I'll use the same music for them and me? I've seen weddings in films where the bridesmaids had different music to the bride but we're getting married on a barge so the aisle is fairly short and don't think 2 pieces of music would be very good!

Help please!

    We just had one piece for all the entrances - BM walked in first, then CBM and then me & my bro as he was giving me away. We didn't have a particular song so we asked the singer and she suggested O Mio Babbino Caro which was lovely but, otherwise, I wouldn't have had a clue what to walk in to! Some ideas:

    I've just finished preparing two ceremonies. Both have gone for instrumental music..... there is masses out there, not just classical, but modern stuff done on harps, string quartet, guitar, piano, full orchestra...... My first bride has chosen Adele's 'Make you feel my love' done on a harp, the other has waltzing matilda performed by a full orchestra.

    If there is a song you like, have a search for it on youtube putting in the title and how you want it played (ie string quartet, piano etc). That will give you the name of the performer. Then all you have to do is search for it on itunes or amazon and boom! For 79p to 99p you have your perfect instrumental!

    Alternatively.... get your DJ to do the ceremony and they will come up with ideas and source all the music.... and play it at exactly the right time!

    Thanks, I really like the idea of piano covers of contemporary songs. I'll have a hunt. ?

    I just thought about movies/computer games I liked.

    I chose Vide Cor Meum from the Hannibal movie

    and some of my other songs are Ava Maria from the Hitman computer game/movie and Eyes On Me from the Final Fantasy 8 computer game.

    I chose them because they meant something to me, but are suitable to play at the ceremony

    Hi,

    We are having Sam Smith "latch" but the acoustic version so its still really modern but its more chilled out.

    The lyrics are lovely if you listen to them "you lift my heart up when the rest of me is down, you enchant me even when youre not around"

    " Now Ive got you in my space, I wont let go of you"

    Just right for me anf hubby 2 b

    I can't decide on an entrance song; at first I was going to have She and Him's I Could've Been Your Girl Reprise:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwPV4Xkyyu0

    because I utterly adore it.

    But then I discovered a string quartet version of one of my favourite songs, Us by Regina Spektor [my most favourite singer]:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiTsDrLwde4.

    So I am slightly torn.

    I have become a little obsessed with string quartet music now I think ?

    I LOVE THAT SONG!

    I am walking in to an acoustic guitar version of when you wish upon a star, cheesy but makes me cry every time

    I don't know if it helps, but the guy I have hired to play for my ceremony has a very long list on his website of music people have asked him to play. I found it quite inspiring (though I eventually went for something else!). His name is Simon and his website is pianistwedding.co.uk.

    I'm walking down the aisle to Open Arms by Journey, its one of mine and OH's favourite songs Smiley smile
    I won't be having a seperate song for the bridesmaids ... they'll just walk in during the verse and then I'll walk in during the chorus/guitar solo
