How to Choose the Perfect Music for Your Toronto Wedding Ceremony

Your wedding entrance sets the tone for the entire celebration. Whether you want something fun, romantic, or unique, the right music will energize your guests and create a memorable start to your reception.

Why Is the Wedding Entrance Important?

The entrance is the transition from formal ceremony to lively reception. It introduces the bridal party and newlyweds, builds excitement, and sets the mood for the night.

How to Choose the Right Wedding Entrance Music

Keep the Music Simple and Smooth

One Song Strategy: Use one track for the entire bridal party and the couple.

Two Song Strategy: Choose an upbeat song for the bridal party and a special track for the newlyweds.

Avoid: Assigning a separate song for each member, as it can disrupt timing and flow.

Suggested Wedding Entrance Songs

Song Style	Recommended Tracks
Classic Pop	“Marry You” – Bruno Mars
Rock Anthems	“Shut Up and Dance” – Walk the Moon
Funky Oldies	“Signed, Sealed, Delivered” – Stevie Wonder
Contemporary Hits	“Can’t Stop the Feeling” – Justin Timberlake
Soulful Classics	“Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” – Marvin Gaye

Setting the Mood with Fun and Energy

Your entrance music should:

• Get guests excited and ready to celebrate.


• Reflect your personality as a couple.


• Seamlessly transition into the reception.

Tip: Save slow, emotional songs for the ceremony and kick off the party with lively, upbeat tracks.

How to Make Your Wedding Entrance Unique

Add a Mini Performance

• Choreographed dance routines.


• Fun freestyle moves or couple gestures like spins and dips.

Visual Enhancements

• Use sparklers, confetti, or flower petals.


• Add spotlight effects for a dramatic flair.

Tips for a Seamless Wedding Entrance

• Coordinate with your band or DJ: Share your song choices and timing.


• Rehearse with your bridal party: Ensure smooth execution of any moves.


• Limit transitions: Stick to one or two songs for simplicity.


• Align timing: Ensure song length matches the bridal party entrance.
