Music and planning!

Stacey, 6 March, 2024 at 23:36 Posted on Planning 1 30
Please help!!


We aren’t getting married until next year & I know there’s 1 million and 1 other things to think about and look at BUT how do you choose what songs to use for the entrance, signing of certificate and the exit! We haven’t got a song or songs that mean something to us both…. I’m already stressing over everything and we haven’t even started yet! 😂😩

    It doesn't have to be anything super meaningful to both of you.

    If you individually have songs that are special to you, then you could pick one to come in and one to go out. Or you could look for music that reflects your families or backgrounds - my OH and I are mixed Scots & Welsh heritage, so we picked Scottish and Welsh music. Is there a holiday location you particularly love? Maybe music from that country? Favourite songs from loved ones who are no longer with you can be a nice way of paying tribute to them.

    Otherwise, just google for suggestions of appropriate wedding music and pick the ones you like the sound of most. Not everything in your wedding has to have some strong relevance to you. Sometimes it can be as simple as 'we need music to walk out to and this sounded ok'.

    We will be playing Christian Worship and classical music. We have to create our playlists on Amazon or something. Ask your venue what type of music system they have so you know how to hand over your music choices. We are chipping away at is slowly.

    Just keep in mind that the songs for a civil ceremony - (not in a Church) cannot include any religious lyrics, even to the extent of Robbie Williams "angels"

    When choosing you can pick any section of a song that you like and it only needs to be 30-40 seconds long unless you are sending 10 bridesmaids up the isle first, same for coming out but maybe longer as it can be played as everyone else leave.

    The signing part also only a couple of mins needed.

    When choosing mostly it sounds best if you can leave the intro running as you hide behind the door and then walk in on the start of the lyrics otherwise you could reach the top and the music will stop before the important lyrics start.

    Mostly the entrance would be romantic style music and then a more upbeat one for the exit.

    Although I have seen a bride walk down the isle to the imperial march from star wars. you know the one it goes. der der der dud de du dud de der Smiley xd

    One thing though if your venue is the Donington one that you mentioned before then that is a longer than average isle in the barn so you may need to add a few seconds to my timings. Not so in the smaller second wedding ceremony room they have though as that is much shorter.

    We left our music choices till a couple of months before as we didn’t know either, but we’d both been writing down songs we liked till that point. We stuck them all in a tab on our excel spreadsheet and then just worked through what we liked the most & what fit the best. Then spent an evening listening to music and figuring it out. The up the aisle song came from one of our favourite films. The recessional song came from one of our favourite bands. The signing the registry song was one we just both really liked and had made a note of separately that seemed to fit with that moment.


    Hope you’re able to destress & find a way to make picking music fun. Spend an evening making a list and dancing with your partner xx

    For walking down the aisle i'm choosing a song both me and my dad love so it will either be Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf or There She Goes by The La's - we're not doing a first dance and I don't want a super emotional song because I WILL cry.

    For leaving the ceremony we're playing Heroes by David Bowie because we both love that song. It doesn't necessarily have to be super romantic or traditional - it's your wedding so you make the rules!

    Our Wedding band (The neoroots function band) have helped massively, we had no idea where to start so we had a planning meeting with them and they went through our likes/dislikes and we've come up with some childhood/meaningful songs that the band are going to perform as a duo during the ceremony but in their own style so it feels more unique to us as a couple.

    Heres what we've chosen.

    Guest arrival and seating - Keys and Guitar instrumental music from our favourite movies/TV shows (one of mine is dawsons creek)

    Bridal entrance - Beautiful surprise by India Arie

    Signing - Signed sealed delivered by Stevie Wonder

    Recessional - My girl by the temptations

    First dance - Baby I love your way by Big mountain

    Hmmm grey area I think, although the ceremony will technically be over I feel that the answer will be no - at least not while the registrars are in the building.

    But when they have gone you will be leaving the room and going outside or somewhere for some photos wont you ? So unless there are speakers outside or you have some sort of live music then there is no opportunity for music unless you are having a drinks reception inside. When they have gone you can have whatever music you like.

    Ahh I totally get how overwhelming it feels — there’s so much to plan, and even small decisions like songs can feel huge when everything’s piling up! One tip: don’t overthink it at first — make a playlist of songs you both enjoy generally, and listen together casually. Often something will click naturally.


    Also, if the planning stress starts feeling too much (even with website stuff like RSVPs, digital invites, or managing your wedding page), I found this https://www.orm.com.pk/ resource useful — they help with online presence and can give ideas for keeping things simple. Hope that helps a bit, and good luck — you’ve got plenty of time to enjoy the process!

    I'm knee-deep in my own big day prep, and curating songs that tell our story has been the fun part amid the chaos. For a touch of sparkle to match those magical moments (think something blue for luck), these gold tanzanite rings are absolute dreamers—deep violet hues with that luxurious gold band, perfect for the bride or bridesmaids. Snagged mine for the rehearsal dinner; they add just the right ethereal glow. Check 'em out gold tanzanite rings. What's your must-play track for the ceremony?

    Choosing wedding music can feel overwhelming, but you’re definitely not alone! A good way to start is by thinking about the mood you want—soft and emotional for the entrance, something calm during the signing, and something joyful for the exit. Even if you don’t have “your song,” you can pick tracks that simply feel right to both of you.

    I went through the same stress, and what helped was listening to different playlists and shortlists for each part of the ceremony. If you need extra ideas, you can visit this site that shares helpful suggestions and inspiration for planning moments like these. It really makes the process easier and less stressful.

    Totally feel your stress — picking ceremony music seems simple until you actually sit down to choose it! One thing that helped us was listening to different playlists together and paying attention to songs that matched the vibe we wanted, even if they didn’t have a deep personal meaning. Sometimes the right melody just feels perfect for the entrance or the exit.

    Another idea is to relax together and explore different moods through shows or playlists — even when we’d just hang out and watch movies free , we’d randomly come across background songs that felt beautiful for weddings. It takes the pressure off and helps you discover styles you both like without overthinking it.

    Music and planning always go hand in hand — when the vibes are right, everything comes together smoother. I’ve been organizing my sessions lately while working with the Funk Lord Volume 2 sound kit , and it’s amazing how the right sounds can boost both creativity and focus.
