Choosing Great Ceremony Music

*** A guide to help you plan your perfect ceremony soundtrack ->

It is your wedding ceremony. Choosing songs that you and your partner love just makes sense.

One of the coolest things about modern wedding ceremonies is how you are largely free to include music you love the most. It is an opportunity to colour your big moment with songs that bring you joy and help give you "the feels".

A popular question we get asked is how many songs will I need to choose? Your wedding ceremony will typically feature 4 main songs:

A) WEDDING PARTY PROCESSIONAL - something beautiful for your attendants & flower kids

B) BRIDAL PROCESSIONAL - the song that you love the most

C) REGISTER SIGNING - meaningful to both you and your partner

D) RECESSIONAL - upbeat and fun

Which songs should I choose? We know this can be a somewhat daunting question, which is why we have included a list of our 75 favourites below to help you get started. The trick is to have fun! Take some time with your fiance to look through the list and see what songs might bring a smile or a fantastic memory to mind.

We proudly include ALL song requests, so if you don't see your song on the list, rest assured that you can send us your favourites and we will gladly learn them for your big moment!
