upbeat song walking back down aisle

Stephen09 · 30-10-2014 1:41am #1

Hey guys
now i'm looking for help to choose an upbeat song for myself and h2b for walking back down aisle. I did have from this moment on and was gonna be sang by a singer but our solemniser suggested we went with a more upbeat and fun song.
So i'm stuck. Please help.

We had "Going to the chapel"

when the saints go marching in. louisiana big band style. get the organ player to start it, half way through your walk back down, get the 50 member brass band come running into the back of the church to finish it off swing style. be the best 3 thousand euro you ever spent.

My sis had a gospel choir and they sang this as we were leaving the church. Took us all ages to get down the aisle as everyone was dancing - including my 90 year old grandmother!! Someone videoed it and anyone who has seen it on FB thought it was brilliant.

My cousin's OH chose "Highway To Hell" by AC/DC when they were walking back down the aisle. She had something soppy for when she was being walked up the aisle.

"Hey Baby" by DJ Otzi.

Not the Crazy Frog remix, though, keep it classy

Saint Sonner · 31-10-2014 12:49pm

Been to a few weddings where they've had upbeat trad - I liked it!

Liam McPoyle · 31-10-2014 3:18pm

Baby I love you by the Ramones.

emzolita · 31-10-2014 4:13pm

One Day like This- Elbow, Higher and Higher- Jackie Wilson, Stevie Wonder- Signed Sealed Delivered or For Once in My Life are all popular choices

John Mason · 31-10-2014 9:37pm

we had an instrumental version of Dont stop believing by Journey

Roesy · 31-10-2014 9:40pm

We had 'Your world' by Declan O' Rourke.

Stevie Wonder - once in my life.
I just love that song

LUZ · 01-11-2014 3:22am

feelin good by nina simone was mine

Here Comes The Trio · 01-11-2014 3:24am

Some of the most popular ones we come across are Don't Stop Believing, One Day Like This, Viva La Vida, All You Need Is Love, and Hoppipolla and Signed Sealed Delivered. Some mightn't work depending on the instrument your singer has with them. This summer we did "Now We Are Free" from Gladiator with a singer, it was cool! I also love "Whatever" by Oasis... sure it totally depends on your favourite bands/films etc, and it doesn't HAVE to be super fast, if you're happy with From This Moment you can keep it. So many lovely choices, let us know what you go with!!!!!

I was at a wedding a few years back and as they left the alter and headed for the front door the theme from Star Wars was blasted over the PA system. Obviously a guy thing. Most hadn't a clue what was going on including myself.

Britney Spears? I'm a slave for you . lol

IrishAlice · 07-11-2014 12:38pm

I was at a wedding where there was a string quartet and they played depeche mode I just can't get enough. It was brilliant.

Mean Laqueefa · 07-11-2014 12:45pm

We had Learning to fly by the Foo Fighters - preformed by The Vitamin String Quartet, went down great

That sounds frickin deadly!!

LisaLee · 07-11-2014 8:51pm

We had 'Steady as she Goes' by The Raconteurs. Liked the song and thought the lyrics were apt :cool:

The power of love.
Not the sappy Jennifer Rush?? Version.

Huey Lewis and the News.
Absolutely brilliant opening.

Higher and Higher by Jackie Wilson has been mentioned a few times. Great choice.

John Lennons version of Stand By Me is quality, whether it's uplifting enough.

Frigga_92 · 08-11-2014 10:55am

We had 8 days a week covered by the Runaways.

It was probably the best song I've heard for the bride and groom leaving the church and I've been at a LOT of weddings in the last few years!

It was a nice change from just playing a cd over the speakers.

BizzyC · 17-11-2014 2:48pm

We had a string quartet playing Starlight by Muse.

SarahJ · 18-11-2014 12:00pm

I think Imagine Dragons "I'm on top of the world" would be a great one

Libby029 · 19-11-2014 2:13pm

We had Barry White My first, my last, my everything... it was a great upbeat song and had everyone smiling..

JennyAnt · 19-11-2014 4:58pm

I was at a wedding where they had "And it's always you and me, always and forever!" going back down the aisle and it was lovely! I think it's by The Wanndies?

deeks · 20-11-2014 2:44pm

We had "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers. Is a particular favourite of my wifes and went down really well.

thatgirl1 · 21-11-2014 1:32pm

We're having Everything by Michael Buble

Saint Sonner · 21-11-2014 1:36pm

We have fiddly dee musicians playijg at our wedding - any suggestions for an upbeat tune for them to play?

Dolbert · 21-11-2014 7:40pm

Fisherman's Blues by the Waterboys is a good one if you have trad/folk instruments

Sebastian Dangerfield · 21-11-2014 8:00pm

We're not having a singer, and we're going for a sped up instrumental of Elvis 'Always On My Mind' for the walk back down the aisle
