Would be interested to hear others thoughts (and links if avaiable) to uplifting entrance and exit music for a wedding.
currently we're thinking of going with Jesu, Joy of Man's Arising as entrance music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwWL8Y-qsJg; v nice guitar version here too by the way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEemo9i-sCI&feature=related )
and Mendelsshon's wedding march as exit music (don't think I need to link that one!)..
So ... probably 'classical' ... but any suggestions appreciated
Cheers
Mark

I had "Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla" for our entrance, we used an instrumental version, can email it to you if you wish. (http://open.spotify.com/track/6eTGxxQxiTFE6LfZHC33Wm if you use spotify)
For the exit we used the end credits of star wars (better than you would think)

HOw about Patsy Cline's "I Cried All The Way to the Altar" or the traditional American folk song "I Never Will Marry" (Kristin Hersh does a good version)
Hank Williams' "First Year Blues" for exiting (or, even better, his "Alone and Forsaken")

In reply to MarkM:
Use "Pete Gun" as intro music, and a funeral dirge as the exit :-p
Or go with "Girls Girls Girls" by the Crue

How about Eye of the Tiger and then to exit the theme tune to the Flumps
or Rhubarb and Custard

Joking aside...my sis used Morecambe and Wise's "Bring me Sunshine" for exiting! It was ace.

In reply to MarkM: The usual prodigy suggestion?
Yakkety Sax for both.
(aka the Benny Hill theme).

In reply to Blue Straggler: Did they do the skipping routine down the aisle too?
In reply to MarkM:
I have a friend who exited to simons and garfunkles Mrs Robinson, but thats because she had just become a mrs robinson.
I've always like the instrumental vertion of kissing you, which is used in baz lurmans Romeo and Juilet, I've also recently found and like Ballade pour adeline

Quality suggestion of the Imperial March from the Grump.
However, I think you should go for a whole music dance ensemble, a bit like this....

they'd have to enter/exit while dancing in the mad styles from the vid!
Benny Hill - same idea, they'd have to run around like mentalists doing some slapstick comedy

In reply to MarkM: I wasn't allowed to have Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter as my ex walked up the aisle with her dad...
In reply to MarkM: friend of mine recently exited to 'Concerning Hobbits' worked really well and was a nice happy tune!
thinking about entrance and exit music myself... but i will have to pick the brains of a music director in the next fer months i think! helps to know the director of music for a cathedral.

A friend of mine recently walked down the isle to the Imperial Death March from Star Wars. It was hillarious and even made the bride laugh.
Maybe not for everyone though!

Second movement of Beethoven's ninth, but it might be a bit long. It's very cheerful.

In reply to John_Hat: How did the bride take it at yours. We were worried it would back fire but worked a treat in the end.
In reply to MarkM: I have heard 'One Day Like This' by Elbow as an entrance. That was a good choice.
In reply to MarkM:
entrance: theme from Jaws, segueing into charge of the light brigade or william tell overture. Really
exit: glenn miller. ['in the mood'?]

In reply to MarkM: My Aunt is a big fan of the kid's TV programme Bod, so as it was my brother playing for her wedding, he threatened to play the Bodd theme tune as she walked down the aisle ("there goes Marie, and here comes... Bodd!"). As it was, he played an improvisation on the Bodd theme at the signing of the register, which everybody thought was very nice, and only a few of us picked up it was the Bodd tune in the background
In reply to MarkM: It is a blooming nightmare choosing music since it says so much about you both. We choose some classical piece (I can't remember - but neither can anyone else) to mark the occasion as a bit formal, but we walked out to Morecambe and Wise's Give me Sunshine. Very jolly and put a smile on everyone's face which is what you want I guess?
The very best of luck!

My brother is a professional organist. He would have been my best man, but I ended up having two, as my brother was stuck in the orga loft playing the organ during the service! Our wedding was in Dunkeld cathedral where my wife and I have played alot of folk music over the years. My brother composed an intro processional on a theme by the late local piper Gordon Duncan - it made quite an impact! Our outro processional was the St Anne prelude and fugue by Bach, which in my view is second to none!

Some friends had a cellist friend play an arrangement of Ennio Morricone's "On Earth as it is in Heaven" (aka "that music off that film, wotsit, The Mission lol"
It was stirring stuff.

In reply to MarkM: I wanted The Ride of the Valkyries for Claire and her Dad to come into and The William Tell Overture to go out to, but was overuled...
In reply to MarkM:
in the extremely way off not on the agenda in the forseeable future way...
...me n The Lass would have a hard time picking music considering anything meaningful for both of us - we have a variety tastes but anything we have a shared love for is going to be some sort of metal/rock/punk! Now if we can find a non depressing appropriately toned Pearl Jam song...I'm not even gonna bother with Pantera....Don't fear the Reaper? hmmm no....

The first movement of BWV 202 is the finest wedding music I know. You need to like classical soprano to enjoy it, mind.
In reply to Scarab9:
gotta be Bomber, mate!
Ain't a hope in hell, nothing's gonna bring us down / the way we fly , five miles off the ground.
straight up! you could even cut in the bomber noise at the start..should make everyone sit up and pay attention.
it's what i'd have at my wedding [which is probably why i'm not married.....;-(]

The other very traditional one is Vidor's Tocatta (which, I'm told, is what my parents had). You'll have to look for it yourself as I can't get youtube at work (which is also why I don't know if someone has already suggested it).

Thanks
yes music choice is very personal... the whole weekend will be very music-oriented with various musicians, bands, choir and djs going their bit..
Have been so caught up in the rest of that up til now that I'd almost forgotten about the entrance and exit music!
