Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World – Israel Kamakawiwo’ole If you're not having this for your first dance, it's a sophisticated choice for walking down the aisle.Ģ. Other than that, whether you're making an entrance together or separately, we've found some excellent options for the start of the ceremony. You should also discuss with whoever's in charge of hitting 'play' exactly when you'll start walking - you may want to let the song build for a bit - and when it should finish, ideally at a fade, so the music doesn't come to an abrupt halt. Trust us, some beats are really hard to walk to, and you don't want to make your entrance as if you're attempting to break land-speed records or at a painfully slow shuffle. Unnecessary as this may sound, we strongly suggest you practise walking to your chosen song.

When it comes to your aisle music (also known as your processional), rhythm is key.
