Ceremony Songs?!

Bridal party processional - Prayed For You (acoustic) by Matt Stell
Bride processional - Can’t Help Falling In Love With You (instrumental) by The Piano Guys
Recessional - This Is It by Scotty McCreery

I hired violin and guitar to play these as instrumentals: first processional: bless the broken road, bridal entrance: make you feel my love, unity candle: all I ask of you, recessional: can’t take my eyes off you

Anything Jack Johnson or Jason Mraz on an acoustic is great. Has a romantic feel and usually is familiar to people while still being classy!

Ooo love acoustics!

Party processional - instrumental version of dan and shay's speechless

bride's walk - tenerife sea by ed sheeran

recessional - i do by colbie caillat

You can usually find instrumental versions of most popular music. Also, if you're not opposed to classical music, you can use a medley of songs, since you're looking for non-traditional wedding music.

Look at Clare de Lune, Canon in D, Bach's Cello Concerto in G Major (Yo-Yo Ma version is the best!), etc. There's a lot of really beautiful music out there!!

Bridal party processional: Chasing Cars (Instrumental)
Bride processional: All of Me by Brooklyn Duo
Recessional: Smile by Uncle Kracker

We hired an electric violinist to play along to instrumental tracks. She composed her own arrangements for it. She also played during our first dance and during dinner service— she was amazing and was the hit of our wedding. She definitely got more attention than us. 😂


Processional (groom with parents; groomsmen): “Amber” by 311Processional (bridesmaids; flower girls escorted by ushers): “This I Promise You” by NSYNCBride Processional: “All of the Lights” by Kanye WestRecessional: “Wouldn’t it Be Nice” by the Beach Boys

Midnite string quartet and similar do string versions of rock songs etc. Hubs and BP walked into an instrumental of "Amber" by 311 and I walked to "All of my love" by led Zeppelin.

View Quoted Comment Oh my gosh! My husband and his guys walked down to instrumental of “Amber” as well. 😂

View Quoted Comment 311 is his favorite band. I just had to make it classy

We are mainly using Bring me the horizon. Our first dance will be Follow you and we are still looking for other songs for the ceremony. Only one by Yellowcard has been on my list for ceremony.

My bridal party is entering with the Jurassic Park theme song. (Obviously I’m obsessed with Jurassica park. 😂)
I’m walking down the aisle to “I get to love you”, by Ruelle. I had never heard of that song until I think I saw someone post it on here and I love it.

I just looked on Spotify for piano versions of popular love songs. Then I made a playlist of all the ones I like so I can listen and decide.
