Choosing Wedding Music For Your Aisle Walk Or First Dance?

The right wedding music plays a huge part in your wedding day and deciding on an aisle walk song or first dance track can be a headache you hadn't planned for. Are yours and your partners tastes in music too different? Does your kind of music not suit a slow first dance scenario? Or have you just not found the perfect track yet?

 

The reason these songs are hard work is because they are arguably the two most important songs of the day, the soundtrack to your most memorable moments.

​

Wedding music - There are some things to consider when choosing first dances or aisle walks.

​

Look through the lyrics - A nice sounding song may not have the best and most fitting lyrics.

If you are having a live musician at your wedding then look through their repertoire list. Darren Jones has his full repertoire list available that he regularly plays at weddings

​

Ask your musician if they could do an alternate version for you - Why shouldn't you have your perfect song just because the original is too fast or too 'rocky' or 'poppy'? Your musician will be able to make an aisle walk or first dance version out of almost any song if you ask - Here are some examples of recent songs Darren has recorded for people before their wedding as examples.
