Grand March?

So I hate grand marches. They feel forced and awkward. But I've never been to a wedding that didn't have one. What do I do? Is there a way that we could just sneak in before the reception starts without people being like "woah where'd you come from?" But if we were to do that should we still have the DJ make some kind of announcement? Because I think I would kind of miss the actual introduction of being married couple. I don't know, any suggestions?

Nope. You can have a first look to get the photos out of the way so you can just mingle with your guests for cocktail hour.

There is no need for fanfare if you don't want it.

We just wandered into the reception after spending a few minutes on our own (we'd done all our photos beforehand). our MC introduced us when we did our welcome toast.

I'm way superstitious and do not want to do a first look. That is one of the things I am the most hard on not changing. So there would be a chunk of that time dedicated to group/couple pictures, but we're only doing pictures within minute from the venue. And I want to do most of the other pictures before the ceremony like all his family and groomsmen kinda stuff.

It can be skipped. My H and I walked into the room and just started mingling, no introductions, and don't regret it.

Yeah we dont plan on doing one either. too formal and obnoxious for our taste, honestly. our cocktail hour and ceremony are right outside the reception location, literally, so we also dont have a need for one. they're going to see us before we "start" the reception so what's the point? lol
you could do a more simple one, with less jazz hands and confetti. just a simple little announcement and let it be that. theres no need for picking specific songs and announcing the bridal party and then bringing you in in a crazy fashion. everyone knows why they're there. lol its all up to you if you dont want the fanfare dont have it!
