30 Bridal Party Introduction Songs For Your Wedding Playlist

07 December 2016

The introduction of your bridal party to your wedding reception has the potential to be one of the spotlights of the evening or maybe a little less dramatic if all you would prefer is just you and him to be introduced. For larger bridal parties, some couples opt for JUST the bride and groom to be brought with usually a snippit of an upbeat and cheery song, which is faded right into their first dance. It really is up to you how formal you'd like to be.  The bridal party introduction song should be fun and upbeat and an excellent way to kick start your wedding reception.

For the larger bridal parties, sometimes couples decide to just be a little more informal and just announce the first names like "Jennifer and Mike" or "Cindy and Steve". Sometimes bridal parties like to play a snippit of each song for each couple. If you are interested in having your wedding DJ play a snippit of a song for each one of the couples of your bridal party, let them know well in advance, as there would be increased preparation of your music before your wedding day arrives.I hope you enjoy listening to all these great songs, as much as I enjoyed hunting them down on You Tube for you.

There has always been some debate from some of my clients about whether to throw this song on their wedding playlist based on some of the lyrics in the song.  Regardless, the song simply was not of the big hits from Bruno only managing a peak at #85 in 2011 on the Hot 100.

"Rock And Roll All Nite (live) | KISS
I discovered KISS as a very young kid following my sisters to the record store. While in the record store, I found myself flipping through the albums and came across these 4 painted faces and was mesmorized.  Rock And Roll All Nite was released in 1975, but it's the "live" version that still gets people (including myself) excited when it comes on the radio.

"The Walker" | Fitz & The Tantrums
Fitz & The Tantrums being on this playlist of popular bridal party introduction songs has reminded me that I need to put together a cocktail hour playlist of modern rock from the 2010s.
