13 Alternative Processional Songs For Your Walk Down The Aisle

13 Alternative Processional Songs For Your Walk Down The Aisle. The ‘walking down the aisle’ music, otherwise known as processional or bridal entrance music, can be one of the hardest tracks to choose.

Especially if you’re not a traditional ‘da da da daaaah…Here Comes The Bride’ (on the organ) kind of bride.

There are so many things to consider when choosing your processional music.

Do you want to make a grand entrance?

Or perhaps you’d prefer a track that starts off slow but builds up to a crescendo?

Do you want instrumental music? Or a song with meaningful lyrics?! Decisions decisions…

Lucky for us John from  Aria Melody DJ is here to help with some beautifully quirky, alternative processional music options for your wedding.

    I’ve DJ’d quite a few weddings lately held in unique venues all over the NYC area and many brides have chosen unique songs to which they walked down the aisle so I thought I’d share of a few of them.

    Each song sets a different tone and mood – so no matter if you’re going for sweet & sentimental or dramatic or contemporary…there are many, many songs out there just waiting to be found.

    Your DJ should be able to trim or edit the parts you like or cut the weird lyrics (there are always weird lyrics). Of course, there are hundreds of great modern-tracks-with-a-classic-twist from the very popular Vitamin String Quartet.  Or, if you’re looking to go back to the classics, the Lumiere String Quartet has great selections.
