Top 20 Wedding Reception Songs for Grand Entrances - Pro Sound & Light Show (2024)

At a wedding reception, the Grand Entrance (also known as a Grand March) is one of the highest energy parts of the event.

The song that you walk in to helps set the tone for the evening, so think of fun, upbeat songs.

Don’t forget to get input from your wedding party, because they’ll be walking/dancing in to the song as well.
