Selecting wedding music can be an easy task or overwhelming for some couples. Surely, you’ve got an awesome DJ who is attentive and helping you with the music selection process. But, if you want to get a headstart, here’s a little guide to help you out.

Ceremony Music

Start a new playlist in your favorite music app that allows you to share a playlist such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, or Pandora. This lets you and your partner collaborate on compiling your wedding music together. You’ll need song/music for the following non-denominational ceremony:

  1. Processional song for the groom and wedding party
  2. Processional song for the bride
  3. Recessional song for the exit  

The music can be classical or instrumental versions of popular songs. For religious ceremony music, please check with the clergy or music director, or church coordinator.
