Ceremony songs! help!!

annanoel21

I'm having a hard time with our ceremony songs.
What are you playing while guests are being seated? Are you doing separate songs for your bridal party and parents?
What are you walking down the aisle to? What are you exiting to? Are you playing songs with or without words? Thanks!

We are playing kind of mellow love songs during the guest seating. Things like "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera, "Open Arms" by Journey and "She's Everything" by Brad Paisley.

We are using the same song for BP and me. It's a song called "In Loving Memory" by Phil Coulter. It's a beautiful instrumental piece that my FI has fond memories of from his adopted grandmother.

Our recessional is "Old Irish Blessing."

We have a guitar player who will play "romantic" music beforehand. Parents and bridal party will walk to Marry me by Train. I will walk with Dad to instrumental of Storybook Love from princess bride. We will Recessional to the same song but with the words, and then during receiving line we will play build me up Buttercup (another subtle nod to the princess bride) My favorite movie by the way

Our pianist is playing her "wedding repitoire" while people are being seated - not sure exactly what but she has that under control.

For the bridesmaids she's playing: Comtine D'un Autre Ete: L'apres Midi by Yann Tiersen
For me: River Flows in You by Yiruma
Recessional: Promenade from Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky

Then she plays her own stuff for another 15 or so minutes.

A Thousand Years is our first dance song! It makes me all teary.

We are having our painist play soft worship songs with no words while guests are being seated.  The wedding party and I are entering to "When I say I do" by Matthew West sung by our pianist.  While signing we will have "Love is not a fight" by Warren Barfield sung and played by our painist.

Then we exit to the Matthew West song again...it's fairly long so we are splitting it into 2 parts.
