Ceremony Song Ideas

Songs are messages, mood, and memory makers.

Every time you hear that special song, you will be transported back to a special time.

When choosing a song or music for the most exciting walk toward your future, be sure the tempo is just right for your procession (entrance), whether you walk, skip, or dance, down the aisle, and that the lyrics suit both your dreams and the occasion.

You might want something really traditional like the Bridal Chorus, or maybe you want a Star Wars or Loonie Tunes Theme, or almost anything by Ed Sheeran!

It is entirely your choice on your day.

TIP: Check the lyrics to make certain they are appropriate

TIP: Check the length of the song as it may not be played in full or could be too short (most play for about 3 minutes)

 

How many songs should we choose and why?

Music evokes emotions and gives us memories.
