Now that we have given you all our best songs for the bride & groom to walk into a reception, let’s consider other possibilities! This same list above can be used to find your wedding exit song. This is the last song to be played either with all your friends around you in a circle on the dance floor or on both sides of your exit outside as you run with sparkles!

A new twist is for the bride & groom to have a farewell dance privately with all their guests outside preparing for the wedding send-off. This song will have more meaning to the couple since there are no distractions.

By now, all your guests should be ready with sparklers, bubbles, smoke, or fireworks! Your photographer should hopefully still be there to capture all the fun moments. We hope you enjoyed our list on the best wedding entrance songs, congratulations!
