300+ Wedding Songs to Walk Down the Aisle 2024

Here comes the bride! The moment the bride enters the ceremony is one of the most memorable moments of her big day – it’s the first time the groom and wedding guests see the bride, so it’s important to give that moment the impact it deserves!

For the grand entrance, you’ll need to choose an appropriate grand entrance song and walk down the aisle. The song you choose for the processional will help set the tone for the rest of the wedding, and you can continue the music theme you’ve chosen for other important moments, such as your first dance song.

You may be a traditional couple who prefers a more classic processional song, or you may want to add a more personalized element to your wedding and choose a more contemporary song – the choice is yours!

To help you narrow down your search for the perfect wedding entrance song, we’ve listed the most popular tunes by genre for newlyweds walking down the aisle today. Our list covers everything from dance tunes to rock songs to movie soundtracks – nothing is impossible when it comes to choosing the best wedding music for you.
