What are some good wedding entrance songs?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For brides · For grooms

Short answer

Good wedding entrance songs include classical pieces like Pachelbel's Canon, modern love songs like "All of Me" or "A Thousand Years", and upbeat tracks like "Signed, Sealed, Delivered". Choose one that matches your pace and mood.

Your entrance song sets the tone for the whole ceremony, so pick something that feels right for you. For a traditional feel, try "Canon in D", "Trumpet Voluntary" or "Here Comes the Bride" (though many couples now avoid that one). For a romantic modern choice, consider "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran, "All of Me" by John Legend, or "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. If you want something joyful and upbeat, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" by Stevie Wonder or "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors work well. Think about the tempo: a slow song gives a gentle, emotional walk, while a faster song can feel celebratory. You might also choose a song with personal meaning, like the first dance from your favourite film. For civil ceremonies, the registrar must approve all music, and religious songs may not be allowed. For church weddings, check with the vicar. Make sure the song is long enough for your walk, or ask the musician to fade it out at the right moment.
