Our tips for a great entrance
- Pick the best 30 seconds. You only need a short burst, so tell us which part of the song you want and we’ll start it right there.
- Think about your venue. A long walk through a big room suits a slower build. A short walk suits a song that hits straight away.
- Let us announce you. We’ll get your guests on their feet and introduce you before the music kicks in.
- Tell your photographer. We’ll coordinate with them so they’re in position before the doors open.
- Add lighting. Our lighting tech can make the moment feel even bigger, just ask.

When do you walk in to your entrance song?
Usually when you enter the room for your wedding breakfast, once your guests are seated. We’ll announce you and start the song as the doors open.
How long should an entrance song play?
Just long enough to get you to your table, usually under a minute. We’ll start the song at the best part and fade it out once you’re seated.
Can we have a different song for the evening?
Yes. Some couples choose a calmer song for the wedding breakfast and something bigger for a grand entrance into the evening party.
