Wedding season is nearly here and one of the top questions I get from couples who book me, is suggestions for songs brides usually walk down the aisle too.

10 – Make You Feel My Love – Adele

Adele’s soulful rendition of “Make You Feel My Love” is a beautiful song to walk down to giving warmth and tenderness to the melody it has, making it a heartfelt choice for couples ready to exchange vows.

9 – A Million Love Songs – Take That

With its recognisable saxophone solo at the start of the song, this is a beautiful and memorable song to walk down the aisle too. It’s got that perfect mix of romance and nostalgia that makes everyone feel warm and fuzzy inside.

There’s no denying that we have Elton John to thank for some of the greatest love songs of our time. This is either a beautiful song to walk down the aisle too or have during the signing of your register.

Etta James’ iconic song has been played and performed at many weddings (and famously at a presidential inauguration) since its release in 1960, proving that it continues to stand the test of time.

“A Thousand Years” is the ultimate wedding anthem, capturing the timeless essence of love and commitment. Sung by Christina Perri, this enchanting ballad resonates deeply with couples as they embark on the journey of marriage.

3 – How Long Will I Love You

This is one of the most popular wedding entrance songs for a reason! So simple but so beautiful. The lyrics in this song are just perfect for a wedding ceremony: “How long will I love you…as long as stars are above you, and longer if I can”

Taylor Swift reigns supreme as the Queen of Love Songs. While a good chunk of her chart-toppers delve into breakups and heartaches, she’s also got a treasure trove of tunes celebrating falling and staying in love, tailor-made for weddings. “Love Story” would be the perfect fit for anyone who wants to channel their inner classic romantic.

1 – Can’t Help Falling In Love With You – Elvis Presley

Can’t Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley has been gaining more and more popularity for the last few years as a top choice for aisle song and is one of the most romantic songs ever written. It’s a classic choice that will never go out of style so you cannot go wrong if you choose this song. Did you/would you walk down to this on your wedding day?
