    Bridal party entrance song - "The Dog Days are Over" by Florence and the Machine

    Bride/Groom Entrance song - Probably the same as the bridal party entrance

    First dance - "Here, There, and Everywhere" by The Beatles

    Bridal Party entrance- Don't know yet
    Bride entrance- Traditional wedding march - wagner?
    We'll have three songs sung at various times throughout the ceremony, although I haven't quite planned out when.
     Billy Joel's "Just the Way you Are" 
    Barry Manilow's "Can't Smile Without you"
    Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World"

    Exit- don't know yet

    First Dance- Eric Clapton's "You look Wonderful Tonight"
    Father/Daughter dance- "I loved her First" by Heartland
    Not doing Mother/son dance, garter toss, and haven't decided on bouquet toss. Don't think we need special music for cake cutting...

    Desperately trying to find a good anniversary song because it's a year of important anniversaries- both sets of parents celebrating 25 years and one set of grandparents celebrating 50 years.

    Have you thought about trying to find out the anniversary couples first dance song?  We are looking to make sure some of those are played for our already married friends and family.  The DJ could start with some random song, and then switch to the other as their sit down time approaches.

    I was hoping to find something that everyone could dance to at once, rather than having 4-5 songs played back-to-back.
