The Grand Entrance - Bridal Party Introduction Ideas For Your Wedding Reception

!±8± The Grand Entrance - Bridal Party Introduction Ideas For Your Wedding Reception

The "Bridal Party Introduction" is when the bridal party is formally introduced by the DJ to the guests during the reception. This can be professional, fun or insane. Here are some tips on how to make this part of the night work for your reception, as a memorable moment.

For the most part, the wedding DJ formats the actual bridal party line just before being introduced to the guests. One way to make sure this transaction pans out smoothly is to write out everything weeks ahead of time, even though you may be expecting a few changes last minute. This gives you and the DJ a base to start from. It often changes last minute, but at least you do not have to reinvent the wheel. So, if your DJ has not asked you during the planning stages of the event for the names along with the introductory song selection, draw up an outline with your couples names in chronological order. As simple as this sounds, this helps tremendously. If you can get this squared out ahead of time, there is a lot less confusion in the hallway a minute before you are about to go on.

So, who come first? Family, then party, then best man and maid of honor before the bride and groom is the tradition.

Usually for the introductions, it works best to acknowledge the grandparents from their seats, then have the parents come through the doors with no music. Next, the music hits and the wedding party comes in.

Lately for large bridal parties, a few different songs is a kind of cool idea, as long as it doesn't create a huge hassle for the DJ who has to also announce the names at the same time. Very familiar songs are the key and also create individuality and characterization for the members walking out. Recently, one bridal pairing came out loosely costumed as Michael Jackson to Billie Jean and walked to their line on the dance floor complete with pearled gloves and surgical masks to boot.

A dramatic pause before the bride and groom is also cool, followed with a different song.

Some songs to choose from including popular hits from this past summer of 2009 include:

Wedding Party Reception Entrance
o Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling
o Opera music - Carmina Fortuna
o Rocky Theme -Gonna Fly Now w/ Survivor - Eye of the Tiger follow up
o Anything Frank Sinatra
o Twilight Zone
o Mission Impossible Theme
o Olympic Fanfare - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
o White Wedding - Billy Idol
o Star Wars Imperial March Theme
o Pitbull - Calle Ocho
o Justin Timberlake - Sexy Back

What ever you choose, make sure it fits you, as it sets the tone for the rest of the DJ fun for the night!

Firecake playing Lucky Man by Emerson, Lake and Palmer

Live in Bad Wildungen, 3rd of July 2010 I did this live recording. The video was just recorded by some consumer camcorder, so the quality isn't that good. Audio was recorded on 18 tracks through my RME Fireface 800 onto my notebook. The fireface had two 8-channel-mic-pres with built-in ADC connected. I recorded single tracks for bass drum, snare drum, each tom, two drum overheads, bass guitar, organ (stereo), synthesizer (mono), two electric guitars, one acoustic guitar, two vocal mics and two ambience mics.

Emerson, Lake Palmer Lucky Man

He had white horses And ladies by the score All dressed in satin And waiting by the door Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was White lace and feathers They made up his bed A gold covered mattress On which he was laid Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was He went to fight wars For his country and his king Of his honor and his glory The people would sing Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was A bullet had found him His blood ran as he cried No money could save him So he laid down and he died Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
