The most important people of the night enter the room. Guests are complete, the bride and groom are ready, it's time to play the entrance song of the newly announced husband and wife.

And it's time for playing the music. The song that is played while the newlywed enter the reception with a happy face showing how happy they are being in love on their special night.

Songs like Can't Stop the Feeling by Justin Timberlake and I Gotta Feeling,” by Black Eyed Peas. But it depends on the couple what genre they want to play during their entrance.

2. Husband and wife dance: First Dance Song

After introducing the newlywed and everyone else the bride and the groom will share their first-ever first dance as husband and wife.

Some of the couples practice this dance ahead of time because all of the eyes will be on them in this special wedding reception night.

Choose the right song that would suit your taste. This part is one of the important parts of the event. That’s why every dance moves must be clearly practice and hours of preparations should be done.

3. Bon Appetit: During dinner song

While enjoying the delicious meal, to avoid silence and boring moments songs should be played.

4. Dance with your first love: Father and Daugther/ Mother and Daughter Dance Songs

Before you meet your love today, your first love never left you even until you are now starting your won family.

This dance is one of the emotional dance ever during a reception. You share a dance with your father or mother who has been with you all throughout.

The song appropriate to this dance is a slow song that could be relevant to the love of a father to his daughter and vice versa.

Types of  songs you need for a perfect wedding ceremony

A wedding ceremony is a memorable day for two persons who wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. And this special event is not perfect without music. Music plays an important role in any type of ceremony.

You may already decide what songs to play on your wedding day, but the question is: Have you already decided when and what part of the ceremony you'll play those songs?

From the arrival of your guests down to your grand exit as husband and wife, you need perfect music for it.

Here are the types of songs you need for a perfect wedding ceremony that will surely help you out.

1. The mood-setter: Prelude Songs

Prelude songs are the songs the should be played before the ceremony starts. Songs that would set the mood for the meaningful wedding ceremony.

Prelude songs are also played during the arrival of every invited guest. But just like every other event, there are early-to-arrive people and late-to-arrive people. So make sure you have reserved songs for those types of guests.

2. Welcoming the bride: Wedding Party Processional Songs

These songs are played when the important people of the wedding like groomsmen, bridesmaids, ring bearer, flower girls, parents, and many more- march in the aisle until the bride will start her memorable steps going to her man.

Just a tip! To cherish the moment, make sure to play the right song. Not too fast, not too slow.

3.The Bride walking down the aisle: Bride's Processional Songs

Now’s the time for the bride to walk down the aisle. Before the bride seizes the aisle, there is like a 3-second pause which will make the guests and the groom feel the excitement from the presence of the lady of the day.

Here comes the drama part. Guests will stand up and start to shed tears. At any moment it seems like the groom will cry out loud. The bride is smiling with tears in her face. But those tears are called happy tears.

And so it needs a song that makes the moment turn it into a slow-motion of every captured moment, faces, and tears.

4. The silent moment: Interlude Songs

During a ceremony there comes a time for at least a minute that the crowd needs to be silent. But to avoid dead airs of the venue, you might wish to play interlude songs to cover the silence with warm and beautiful music.

5. Officially Married: Recessional Songs

Now that the couple is officially married, let's call for a celebration. This is the time for the couple to show how happy they are while doing the grand exit.

Upbeat songs that symbolize happiness are the best songs to be played as a recessional song. Songs that would make everybody happy.

6. The pack up time! Postlude Songs

Everybody is busy in packing their things and belongings. If you are having a large crowd of guests, it may take before everybody gets out of the venue.

You don't want your wedding to be bored at the end part right? So songs should be played until the place is empty. Music is needed so that the guest will never lose the excitement and the happiness of the wedding ceremony.

And one last thing, pictures, and selfies are one of the pack up activities of the guests.
