processional Music!!! Please help!! Wedding in 2 weeks!

Pamela, on June 6, 2021 at 11:38 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 4

Ok! FH and I are huge jam band fans (think Phish, Grateful Dead, etc) We are having a backyard wedding in two weeks and are struggling between "typical" processional songs or ones we love and are more "us". We are not having a bridal party announcement with songs for the reception so that eliminates sticking some of our proposed processional songs in that spot instead.


Have any of you ever walked down to the aisle to something"rockin" and uniquely upbeat for the processional or are you planning to. For reference my fiance wants to walk down the aisle with his mom to 2001 by Phish and I'm considering walking down the aisle to Martian Monster (by Phish) to at least match his intro otherwise if I come in to anything "calmer" I just htink that would both look and feel weird.


Any help would be BEYOND appreciated!


Thank you!

    We didn't go *quite* so out of the box, but we definitely didn't go typical lol. I think it's fun and adds some personality Smiley smile . Don't forget you have your recessional, too - so you can pick a third song as well. For reference, we used:

    Parent entrances: U2's "Beautiful Day"

    Groom/GM entrance: Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher"

    BM (I know you aren't having them, but again, for reference) entrance: The Beatles' "Something"

    Bride/Escort entrance: Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's "Over the Rainbow"

    Recessional: Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours"

    As you see, not traditional - but not exactly Phish lol - by the same token, not all of the songs had exactly the same "vibe" and it all worked beautifully in the end.

    Pick what you like and what represents y'all.

    Definitely walk out to what you want to! If your ceremony is more fun and upbeat anyway, it'll match well. I've seen it happen a few times. We have a few special songs we're using, but we've decided to use instrumental covers of these songs to match the mood of the ceremony. That's actually been my favorite thing to do to "mix" our styles with the romantic atmosphere of our ceremony. It could be an option for you, as well, but if you want to walk down the aisle to the originals, more power to you.

    I'm walking down the aisle to the orchestral version of "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica. I think you should go with your gut and do what will ultimately make you happy!
