[Entrance Music] Popular Wedding Songs by Scene for the Ceremony and Reception

VoyageHamasaki Ayumi

Ayumi Hamasaki / Voyage (Short Ver.)

This is Ayumi Hamasaki’s 28th single.

As the title suggests, it’s a song perfect for a couple setting sail on a new journey together.

It opens with a romantic music box and piano, joined by strings to create a somewhat majestic melody.

The chorus swells dramatically, making it an ideal choice to create a moving entrance scene for the bride and groom.

Wedding DressOku Hanako

It’s a gentle, piano-centered song! Hanako Oku’s vocals are very clear yet warm, conveying a happy atmosphere.

The whole track overflows with affection, and since it’s a very relaxed slow ballad, a calm, mature entrance rather than a flashy one would suit it well.

I think timing your entrance right as the intro ends and the lyrics begin would look beautiful.
