Your song for walking down the aisle must be magical, am I right?
The question is, what does magical mean to YOU? Our Chicago wedding band is all about helping you narrow down the thousands of options for ceremony music songs, and helping you to find “the one.”
It’s time to do some soul-searching. Have you been to a wedding and felt that the music was magical?
Did you have goosebumps? What was so special about it? Why did it speak to you?
When the right song happens at the right time, and all of the planets line up, that’s when the magic happens. The trick is to visualize way ahead to your wedding day, and choose that song now.
Pop? Classical? Rock? Country? R&B? Current? Lots of choices, and some might say too many choices 😉
Maybe you’ve known all along which song you want to walk down the aisle to, or maybe you’re looking for ideas. If you’re in idea mode, here’s one to consider:
Start your day with an instrumental version of this and your guests won’t believe their ears. Coldplay tunes are some of our very favorites, and this one is definitely a winner. Not too fast, and not too slow. It’s just right.
Have a listen, see if this one is a good fit for you.
Not only does our Chicago wedding band live for getting all of your guests out there on the dance floor, but we also can’t wait to meet with you to discuss your ceremony music! After choosing a song for walking down the aisle, the next most important tune to think about is the one for walking out after your ceremony has finished. It’s called the recessional, and this is the song that will kick off your first moments of being married, along with the first moments of your reception.
The party! This is the song that will catapult everyone into the party! YES!
Maybe you’ve known all along which song you want to exit to, or maybe you’re looking for ideas. If ideas are your thing, we’ve got one for you today:
Pull out all the stops with an instrumental version of this and your guests will swoon. It’s classic, and it’s fun. Even better, you’ll have a spring in your step and a smile on your face.
And when everyone knows the lyrics? SCORE!
Have a listen, see if this one is a good fit for you.
We’re going to keep things short today, in honor of St. Patrick 🍀
If you’re looking for music for walking down the aisle, check out this version of Crazy Love for string quartet, performed live by Artistrings, a modern string quartet in Chicago that specializes in pop and rock music. The Artistrings quartet paired with one of our Chicago wedding bands is an entertainment lineup that will not miss! This is our favorite Van Morrison string cover, with a string quartet arrangement and sheet music written by our talented violist, Benton Wedge.
For fans of Van Morrison (and really, who isn’t?), this is an absolutely beautiful song for walking down the aisle. Not too slow, and not too fast. Goldilocks would be the first to say that it’s just right 🙂 Your guests will be thinking the lyrics as you float down the aisle. What could be sweeter?
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles And the heavens open every time she smiles And when I come to her that’s where I belong Yet I’m running to her like a river’s song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She’s got a fine sense of humor when I’m feeling low down And when I come to her when the sun goes down Take away my trouble, take away my grief Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Yes I need her in the daytime Yes I need her in the night Yes I want to throw my arms around her Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight
And when I’m returning from so far away She gives me some sweet lovin’ brighten up my day Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul
