Key Takeaways
- With diverse genres like '80s rock or pop, you can find the perfect groom entrance song for your wedding.
- Choose a song that reflects your love story and sets the right tone for the entire ceremony.
- Have flexibility with tempo; slow down energetic tunes like Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)."
There's a reason why nailing the groom entrance song at your wedding is critical: It will likely be the first official song of your wedding ceremony, beyond any interlude pieces you've asked your DJ or string quartet to play. The man of the hour typically makes his aisle debut at the start of the processional; he typically walks in after the mother of the bride, sometimes on the arm of his own mom (other times, he makes the trip solo). That means that the right groom entrance song isn't just a reflection of your love story or his musical proclivities: It will actually set the tone of your entire service.
To that point, you have plenty of flexibility when it comes to the genre and tempo of the song the groom walks down the aisle to. From country crooners like "Joy of My Life" by Chris Stapleton to modern rock ballads including "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone, the tune's vibe and pace is entirely up to you. You also have the option of taking something more energetic, like Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)," and asking live musicians to soften it or slow it down. All to say, there are so many ways to work the songs that move or thrill him—including the scores of his favorite film franchises, from Star Wars to Jurassic Park—into this major ceremony moment. Ahead, you'll find 60 groom entrance songs that fill the bill.
