And if you’ve got some music tips (or stories!) to share, send us a DM over on the Easy Weddings Instagram<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 we love sharing your suggestions with our wonderful wedding community!<\/p>\n Your aisle walk is one of the most sentimental and romantic moments in your wedding celebration. Most couples opt for a song of special significance to them that features a slow, steady tempo. The classic aisle number “Here Comes The Bride” has 78 beats per minute (BPM) which makes for the perfect aisle walk speed.<\/p>\n There’s no reason that you can’t choose a more up-tempo song for a less formal vibe. Alternatively, many modern, upbeat songs also have an acoustic version or cover by another artist. An excellent example is Talking Heads’ new wave classic, This Must Be the Place, which has been acoustically covered by The Lumineers and LAUREL in softer, slower formats.<\/p>\n Here are the top aisle walk songs as chosen by our favourite suppliers:<\/b><\/p>\n During the signing of the wedding documents and directly after the ceremony, most couples opt for happy music that hints at the celebration ahead! Think cheerful yet unobtrusive bops that are romantic but not overly sentimental. These songs are for your guests, as opposed to your aisle song, which is purely for you and your partner.<\/p>\n Here are the top 10 post-ceremony songs as chosen by our favourite suppliers:<\/strong><\/p>\n Cocktail hour takes place after the ceremony and is an opportunity for your guests to mingle while you slip away for some photos. The music for this portion of the day should be fun and upbeat, with some easy-listening classics to ease your guests in for the evening. This is music to sip champagne and enjoy some canap\u00e9s to.<\/p>\n Here are the top 8 cocktail hour songs as chosen by our favourite suppliers:<\/strong><\/p>\n The formalities are done, and the party portion of your wedding has commenced. Receptions are characterised by love, fun, and celebration \u2014 and your song list should match! A good rule of thumb to ensure everyone has a good time is to include a mix of genres in your playlist. Speak to your entertainment provider and try to keep an open mind. While Abba’s Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) might not be on high rotation for your everyday commute playlist, but there’s no denying it’ll get everyone, from the best man to your nanna, on the dancefloor.<\/p>\n Here are the top 10\u00a0 reception songs as chosen by our favourite suppliers:<\/strong><\/p>\n The first dance is traditionally the last formality of a wedding, so you’ll want it to be a memorable moment. While the first dance was once always set to a sentimental tune, more couples are giving this tradition a cheekier, more upbeat twist. Want the best of both worlds? Plan a romantic waltz that transitions into a funkier dance style of your choice! If you’re the proud owner of two left feet, there is no shame in bringing in a choreographer<\/a><\/strong> to bring your vision to life.<\/p>\n There is our go-to list of top wedding songs for every milestone in your celebration, according to our favourite entertainers. Of course, music is incredibly subjective and personal. It’s your day, so be sure to fill the soundtrack with your most loved and meaningful tunes. Your entertainment vendor will always take into account your musical preferences, so don’t be shy about letting them know what you like!<\/p>\n![\"Couple](\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/assembly-yard_christopher-millen-photography_emily-dann47-700x467-1.jpeg\" "\\"\\"")
