Ceremony Song Ideas

Live Wedding Aisle Songs for Your Ceremony

Your wedding ceremony is one of the most emotional parts of the day, and the right live music can make it truly unforgettable. Whether you’re walking down the aisle to a modern love song or something timeless and classical, I’ll help you choose acoustic wedding songs that set the perfect tone.

Typical moments I provide music for include:

  • The aisle entrance (processional)
  • The signing of the register
  • Your joyful walk back down the aisle as a married couple (recessional)

These moments work beautifully with romantic ballads, stripped-back acoustic covers, or personal favourites that mean something to you both.

Afternoon Drinks & Canapé Entertainment

Relaxed Live Music for Your Wedding Drinks Reception

After the ceremony, it’s time to celebrate with a glass in hand and music in the air. I provide live acoustic entertainment that creates a chilled, feel-good atmosphere during your afternoon drinks and canapés.

This is the ideal moment for laid-back acoustic versions of well-loved songs. Think singer-songwriter favourites, soft rock classics, indie gems, and mellow pop tunes. It’s the kind of background music that adds warmth and atmosphere without overpowering the moment; perfect for mingling, sharing a laugh, or simply soaking up the setting. While you’re away having photos taken, your guests can relax and enjoy live entertainment that keeps the energy gently flowing.

Evening Reception & First Dance Music

Live Acoustic Sets to Begin the Evening Celebration

Live music in the evening brings a warm, personal energy to the start of your wedding celebration. Whether it’s a stripped-back, acoustic version of your first dance or a feel-good set to gently ease guests toward the dance floor, it sets the tone beautifully. It’s a perfect way to bridge the gap between the formalities of the day and the full party vibe to come; creating a natural lead-in to your evening wedding DJ set.

Many couples choose romantic, meaningful tracks for their first dance, followed by fun, familiar tunes that get friends and family singing along before the DJ or band takes over.
