Walking down the aisle is one of the most memorable moments of your wedding day. The right music can heighten emotions even further as all eyes turn to you. That’s why choosing the perfect song is so important.

When selecting your song, consider your personal preferences, wedding theme, and the song’s pace. You’ll want a melody that naturally complements your steps. A song that’s too fast may make you feel rushed, while a slower, more graceful tune will help you savor the moment. I recommend picking a gentle song with a steady rhythm to create the perfect atmosphere.

Also, consider hiring a musician (a soloist or an ensemble) for a custom rendition of your song. If you prefer the original version, any DJ can easily play it. Don’t feel pressured to choose a song from the current top 40. A timeless classic can create just as magical an atmosphere.

As you make your choice, listen carefully to the lyrics and rhythm to ensure the song captures the emotion of your fairytale moment. I also recommend practicing your walk to the music beforehand. It will help you feel more confident on the big day. Pro tip: practice in your wedding shoes for the most realistic experience!
