Perfect Wedding Ceremony Songs: A Curated Playlist for Your Big Day

Selecting the right music for your wedding ceremony is a beautiful way to set the tone for the day. The songs you choose will help create the perfect atmosphere for each meaningful moment; from the processional to the recessional, and everything in between. Whether you envision something classical, contemporary, or deeply personal, your ceremony music should reflect your unique love story and style.

Perhaps there’s a song you love but it’s not the right tempo. Nowadays, there are so many covers popular songs with a fresh slowed-down take and music streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify can help get these in front of you. We’ve discovered some incredible covers our couples have used in their own weddings - from slow and steady for the processional and signing, to fun and upbeat for the recessional. So if you're looking for inspiration, we have created a playlist full of songs our past clients have used for their own weddings ceremonies.
