Our Favorite Wedding Grand Entrance Songs From Last Season

How to Choose the Right Grand Entrance Song

When selecting a grand entrance song, don’t just think about what song is popular.

Think about the feeling you want to create.

Do you want:

• A huge party atmosphere?
• Something romantic?
• A song guests will sing along to?
• A grand entrance that feels elegant and timeless?

Your entrance song should reflect your personalities and set the tone for the rest of the evening.

As Arizona wedding DJs, we’ve heard hundreds of grand entrance songs over the years. Some create a fun and elegant atmosphere, while others immediately get guests cheering before dinner has even started.

If you’re looking for inspiration for your own wedding reception, here are some of our favorite grand entrance songs from this past wedding season.

“Golden” — HUNTR/X & EJAE (KPop Demon Hunters)

This one absolutely exploded recently, and we have a feeling it will continue showing up at weddings throughout Fall 2026.

It’s upbeat, energetic, and feels fresh compared to some of the more traditional grand entrance songs we’ve heard for years.

Perfect for couples who want something current and unexpected.

“Best Love Song” — T-Pain ft. Chris Brown

Fun, recognizable, and surprisingly versatile.

This song strikes a nice balance between romantic and upbeat, making it a great choice for couples who want their entrance to feel celebratory without going full club mode.

“Bring Em Out” — T.I.

If your goal is to make an entrance, this is the song.

The opening immediately grabs attention and creates a moment that feels larger than life.

We’ve seen wedding parties absolutely come alive with this one.

“Raise Your Glass” — P!nk

This song has become one of our favorite crowd-pleasers.

It’s fun, inclusive, and encourages guests to celebrate right alongside the wedding party.

A great choice for couples who want their reception to feel like one big party from the start.

“Can’t Hold Us” — Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

One of the best high-energy entrance songs ever created.

The build-up, the beat, and the overall excitement make this a favorite for larger wedding parties and couples who want guests cheering from the moment they enter.

“This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” — Natalie Cole

Not every grand entrance needs to be loud.

This timeless classic creates a joyful, elegant atmosphere while still feeling upbeat and celebratory.

Perfect for couples wanting something romantic, sophisticated, and instantly recognizable.

“Love Me Like You Do” — Ellie Goulding

A beautiful option for couples who want their entrance to lean more romantic than energetic.

The song feels cinematic and works especially well for elegant ballroom weddings and upscale receptions.

“Love You Like a Love Song” — Selena Gomez & The Scene

Fun, playful, and a little nostalgic.

This one consistently gets smiles from guests and works particularly well for millennial couples who grew up hearing it on the radio.

“Marry You” — Bruno Mars

There may never be a more fitting wedding entrance song.

It’s joyful, upbeat, and instantly puts guests in a celebratory mood.

There’s a reason couples continue choosing this song year after year.

“Forever” — Chris Brown

A wedding classic that refuses to go away.

And honestly? We aren’t mad about it.

From the opening notes, guests know exactly what’s coming. It’s upbeat, familiar, and has been creating unforgettable wedding entrances for well over a decade.

Sometimes classics are classics for a reason.

Arizona Weddings Are All About Energy

One thing we’ve learned after working weddings throughout Phoenix, Scottsdale and beyond is that guests feed off energy.

A great grand entrance helps establish momentum that carries into dinner, toasts, and eventually a packed dance floor later in the evening.

And that’s exactly what a great wedding DJ should help you do.

It should build excitement, create memorable moments, and make guests excited for what’s coming next.

After all, the grand entrance isn’t just an introduction.

It’s the official start of the party.
