Entrance song ideas?

I can't think of anything at all. We have had to pick so many songs already for different bits I'm out of ideas. I'm having a civil ceremony so any non-religious ideas would be appreciated!

Nice signature

It depends from what time in music you want it. You will have different taste than your parents to name one example.

So

A Time For Us - Andy Williams

All That I Am - Rob Thomas

These Are The Special Times - Shakira

Have you thought of maybe having an instrumental version of a song you like?

We're having the instrumental version of Turning Page by Sleeping at Last (the entrance song for Bella at her wedding in Twilight ) as the music is amazing, but i'm not a huge fan of the lyrics or how they are sung.

To reflect our slighty 'way out there' characters & want for an unconventional wedding, we were going to have the Jaws theme tune for me to walk in on. Very appropriate!

But due to the quiet & loud pieces in the music, which may have made people jump, we have gone for a Star Wars piece. The darth Vader Imperial March. Also appropriate for my arrival!

We wanted something abit light hearted too so we wouldn't get emotional and cry.

Haha, Jaws would be hilarious!

We've got quite mixed taste. As an example, my sister's singing Make You Feel My Love in the ceremony and the first dance song will by Baby I Love You by the Ramones, immediately followed by Bruno Mars Marry Me because we both love it but can't bring ourselves to have it at a serious point!

Not sure about instrumental because it's in a Register Office so the entrance isn't going to last for long, but I'm assuming they let the full song play? It might be a bit boring for everyone to have to sit and listen to a full instrumental piece after I've come in.

Exactly this.  I really really really don't want to cry in front of everyone so I'm going to do all I can to avoid it, so we're having something really upbeat and not soppy - George Micheal's version of My Baby Just Cares For Me.  Its really upbeat (and I lurve that George!), and quite short ending with a big fanfare, so I think its perfect!

Other considerations were Kaleidoscope Heart - Sarah Bareilles, Hoppipolla - Sigur Ros, Holocene - Bon Iver, or something by Beirut.

I'm hopefully having Magherecloon by Battlefield band. Its a scots v english theme. ( also having Whaur will we gang while they wait for me)

Though friends have had

November rain intro, Bring your daughter to the slaughter, Iron Maiden, over the hills by Gary Moore, Don't Cry by Guns N Roses, Running up that Hill Kate Bush and Placebo.

I always wanted Bach's Toccatta and Fugue,

Classical wise - Entrance of the Queen of Sheba, Musical joke, Dance of the Knights from Romeo and Juliet, Moonlight Sonata by Beethovan

Oohh..Moonlight sonata is my fave classical piece.

I'm cutting the song as there is a particular point in it where I want to enter. But as it's just an instrumental, it will be a doddle just to fade it out. So no need to be standing there uncomfortably waiting for the song to end!

We to have discussed Star Wars piece The darth Vader Imperial March as i think it would be fun and help with the nerves my sister too is a massive star wars fan and i grew up listening to her going on about it and collecting figures so i think she will love it. xx

I'm walking down the aisle to Jack Johnson's better together, the hawaian slack key kings version. it makes me cry whenever i hear it but that's how i know it's the one!! i hope it has the reverse effect on the day and makes me smile.. we'll see!! x

I have seen the star wars darth march done before, and it is great fun. Make sure that you do not tell your guests for a greater impact.But do give a heads up to your photographer so they can get those reactions of your guests. Also make sure that the music is faded out -- I have seen so many weddings where the person operating the music just stops it and it doesn't sound good.  

We are having a church wedding and have had to choose lots of music/songs for different parts of the wedding. For me the first dance was the tricky one. Walking down the aisle we are having Canon in D by Pachabel. It is one of my most favourite pieces of classical music. It would work well for a civil ceremony too.

I'm glad it is well liked by guests.   We are walking out to Mna Mna by the Muppets too. Says it all really. Haha!!
