The cool Wedding March that starts with “ta-ta-ta–taaaan” is a piece by Mendelssohn.
In the past, classical versions were the norm, but now it’s performed in all sorts of arrangements.
There’s even a jazz version—its stylish, mature vibe is really appealing.
The Electone can handle any arrangement, which is wonderful.

Wedding March (Music Box)Felix Mendelssohn
When it comes to wedding music, Felix Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March,” famous for its ta-ta-ta-taaaan motif, is well known.
This is the music box version.
Unlike the orchestral rendition, it has a very cute charm.
The soothing, relaxing feel is unique to the music box timbre.
It would work not only for the entrance but also as background music during the party.
Highly recommended for wedding receptions.
Wedding March (Organ)Richard Wagner
There are various “Wedding Marches,” but Wagner’s piece has a more subdued, tender feel.
Alongside Mendelssohn’s work, it is a famous wedding march.
Performed on the organ, it strongly evokes the image of a church and feels very fitting for a wedding.
Wagner’s piece suits the organ particularly well.
In conclusion
We introduced various versions of the Wedding March. Each arrangement had a splendid flair perfectly suited to a wedding, didn’t it? If you’re looking for wedding BGM, I bet there was at least one track that made you think, “I want to use this!” Be sure to craft a BGM selection you’re particular about, and make your wedding truly wonderful.
