walking down the isle

winterwed2011

What are some good songs that would be great to walk down the isle to? I want something other than Here Comes the Bride. The isle is not very long also so I would have to edit and cut it off at the perfect time.

First:  for future reference, it's aisle not isle.

Do you want something classical?  Are you getting married in a church?  Are there restrictions on the music you're permitted to use.

I'm a church organist, and every piece of music that I play for weddings has to be tailored to that particular wedding, and if you're using a live musician, he/she will know exactly how to end it at the perfect time.

If you're using a dj and recorded music, they'll know to fade out the music at the right time for you as well.

On the chance that you're looking for classical suggestions, here are some:

Suggestions for processional/recessional music

 

Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring-Bach

Air on the G String-Bach

Prelude in C Major from the Well Tempered Clavier-Bach

Ditto trix.

We used the ones I put in bold type throughout our wedding. We were not allowed to use secular music at all.

<div>It blows my mind how many women on this site make that mistake.</div>

It definitely would help to know if you are getting married in a church or not, but regardless of location, Trix has given several very nice suggestions. We got married in a Catholic church. My bridesmaids entered to Trumpet Voluntary on the organ, and my processional was Wearing of the Green on bagpipes.

i agree with pp...it really depends where you're getting married and what type of music you would want..some people like the idea of an upbeat pop song while others like classical music...trix had some good suggestions
