What song is everyone entering the Reception to?

Help, we need some ideas.

Let's Get Loud by JLo (maybe??)

It may sound silly, but I heard someone use 'Let's Get Loud' by JLo and the more I think about it, the more I think it would be a great way to get the people up and on their feet. Then again, I have to run it by my FH before I make any decisions.....

Question about entering the reception...

I am confused by something...if the bride and groom attend the cocktail hour, do they still get announced and make a grand entrance into the reception?

Question about entering the reception...

Annavan - from the weddings I`ve attended, even if the B&G attended the cocktail hr, they`re still announced as husband and wife at the reception.

As for the song, I`m thinking about using 'Beautiful Day', by U2. Although I still have over 8 months to change my mind!!

Question about entering the reception...

Our Bridal party is walking into Oh What A Night and we are walking into We Go Together from Grease.

Intro Songs & Cocktail Hour Dilemma

For the parents and wedding party, our DJ, Eddie of Parameters, had the Blues Brothers theme on a loop, and everytime he made an introduction, he would start the loop over .. it was really well timed, very upbeat, energetic and playful. For us, we used Gimme Some Lovin by the Spencer Davis Group, again, very upbeat, energetic and playful.

Some other ideas:
The very beginning part of Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith .. it`s very dramatic.
Top of the World - Van Halen
Walkin on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves
Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz
Start the Commotion - Wiseguy
I`m a Believer - Smashmouth
Beautiful Day - U2
David Letterman Theme
Get Ready for This - 2 Unlimited
Peter Gunn Theme - Blues Brothers
Walk This Way - Aerosmith
Star Wars Theme
Instrumentals from Indiana Jones
All I Wanna Do - Sheryl Crow
Devil Inside - INXS
New Sensation - INXS
Let`s Go Crazy - Prince
End of the World (As We Know It) - REM
Start Me Up - Rolling Stones
What I Like About You - Romantics
Everybody Have Fun Tonight - Wang Chung
Axel F - from Beverly Hills Cop
I`m So Excited - Pointer Sisters
Thriller - Michael Jackson
Ain`t No Stoppin` Us Now - ??
Odd Couple Theme
Mad About You Theme



Annavan - We attended part of our cocktail hour and still did the intros. My husband`s brother`s wife didn`t want to attend their cocktail hour, because she felt it would be strange to then be introduced for the reception. However, I think now she regrets having not attended the cocktail hour. Everyone at the cocktail hour is socializing, but when they go to the reception, that`s the party .. do the intros anyway to kick things off and get the party jumpin`!

Intro Songs & Cocktail Hour Dilemma

we`re being introduced to also sprach zaruthstra (the theme to 2001), played by my favorite band phish at a live show in 1999.

Intro Songs & Cocktail Hour Dilemma

I think we are having our bridal party enter to Love Theme by Barry White and we are still working on the song for us.

Intro Songs & Cocktail Hour Dilemma

We did go to a few minutes of our cocktail hour -- but we also were introduced at the reception. It's your day to shine and the reception is more of a formal enterance when everyone is paying attention.

Have fun! Wish I could do it all over again!

Beautiful Day - U2 *NM*

What song is everyone entering the Reception to?

We walked out to Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves it seemed to fit the day

What song is everyone entering the Reception to?

we are attending our cocktail hour and we will be introduced, to either aint no stopping us now or I'm coming out by Diana Ross

The bridal party is being introduced to Let's get loud by J lo

We used...

Singin' in the Rain (instrumental) by Gene Kelly. We wanted a very elegant, lower key entrance into the reception. The song had a very romantic and special meaning to my husband and I, so we loved it. (Our band got all of the guests into it by clapping along).

I really didn't want a club song that would have made us feel like we were being introduced at a basketball or football game...(wooh, wooh, woohing...etc)

We also chose a very elegant and old fashioned song for our first dance (At Last by Etta James), so it made a very nice transition.

What we plan on doing

Our first dance is 'Grow Old With Me'. We are going to have the band a long intro for the song and then go right into our first dance.
Like Claud2001 we want a lower key, elegant entrance.

It all depends on your wedding and personality though.

grow old with me is such an amazing song - there won't be a dry eye during your first dance!

We used...

I am also going more understated, although we haven't picked our songs yet. Richie wants Hero...the new one by Enrique Iglesias. I am more into Luther Vandross' Here and Now. We have so many songs we both want played. I want a romantic, elegant wedding and will have to chose an entrance song that suits that theme.

'Grow Old With Me'. ??

Who sings it? It sounds familiar but I'm drawing a blank.

Phunkykat....

My FH is also a huge Phish fan. I told him about your choice of an intro and he thought it was great! It's a running joke in my family that the meatstick is going to a participation dance at our wedding!

'Grow Old With Me': J. Lennon

I am not sure if it was done with the Beatles or by himself. We used this song during our ceremony. Everyone loved it.

Mary Chapin Carpenter also sings it *NM*
