At a wedding reception, the Grand Entrance (also known as a Grand March) is one of the highest energy parts of the event.
The song that you walk in to helps set the tone for the evening, so think of fun, upbeat songs.
Don’t forget to get input from your wedding party, because they’ll be walking/dancing in to the song as well.
You could also consider picking different songs for each couple being introduced in the grand entrance, saving the best song for last when you are introduced as a married couple.

Typically, one song is played for the entire bride party entrance, with a second song being played for just the bride and groom's entrance. Once the bride and groom are introduced and enter the reception area, they should proceed to the dance floor for their first dance.
“Clair de lune” is one of the most recognizable pieces of music from the early 20th century (first published in 1905). More than 100 years later, it's still a perfectly classic bride entrance song that everyone in attendance will know.
A wedding grand entrance typically happens at the start of the reception. This is when you and your partner are announced and introduced to your guests as an "officially" married couple. It's common for couples to allow their wedding party members to make their entrances first, so they act as the grand finale.
“Signed, Sealed, Delivered” by Stevie Wonder is arguably one of the best wedding recessional songs, embodying a message of joyful commitment and celebration. This classic hit brings an upbeat, soulful vibe to your farewell moment, inviting everyone to join in the happiness of your new beginning.
