Whether you're having a Humanist, religious, spiritual or civil wedding ceremony, chances are, you'll be walking down the aisle and you'll more than likely have music to accompany you. If you're having a church wedding there will be limitations on what you can choose, but otherwise, you really can take your pick of processional songs for your wedding, whether it's a live instrumental by musicians, your favourite tune on a speaker, or someone serenading you up the aisle. To help you pick, we've made a list of more than 70 processional songs and broken them down into handy categories to suit your ceremony vibe. A big grand entrance or something altogether low-key, your ceremony music really helps to set the tone of the occasion, so it's important to get it right. With the help of some of our favourite wedding ceremony singers and musicians, we've gathered 70 of the best wedding processional songs to suit all styles of wedding, from the traditional or the romantic, to the upbeat or unusual - we've even added them to a handy Spotify playlist, so make sure you scroll do the end to hear the lot! Although you may not be familiar with the names of classical pieces, most are instantly recognisable when you hear them - though others are a little lesser-spotted. Talk to your ceremony singer or musicians about what classical piece you have in mind, and they'll likely be able to pull it out of the bag. Not sure what these sound like? Have a listen to each in our Spotify playlist at the end of the page! Add a little Celtic romance to your processional, with these beautiful Irish airs... Looking for something a little different or more personalised for your processional song? Look no further than these cool indie and alternative tunes... Many of you might think a processional song should be slow and paced, but add a retro lilt and these upbeat songs would make the sweetest entrance... Are you and your other half a pair of hopeless romantics? Then these are the processional songs for you! Many thanks to ceremony singers and musicians, Something Blue Acoustics for their help with this post and brilliant wedding processional song suggestions.
