Make Your Grand Entrance Unforgettable with Asa Reign Wedding Planning
At Asa Reign, we believe that every wedding should begin with a moment that’s nothing short of magical. One of the most anticipated and emotional highlights of any celebration is the moment the newlyweds are introduced at the wedding reception. The room falls quiet with excitement, the music builds, and just like that—you’re making your first grand entrance as a married couple. Whether you're planning a classic ceremony at home or a stunning destination wedding, your entrance sets the tone for everything that follows.
Your wedding reception entrance song isn't just a playlist choice—it’s a reflection of your love, your story, and the energy you want to share with your guests. This is your chance to show off your style, your personality, and your joy as you walk into a room filled with everyone you love most. From high-energy pop anthems to romantic soul classics, the right song can spark laughter, tears, cheers, or even a full-on dance party before dinner.
At Asa Reign, we understand how deeply personal this moment is. We don’t just help you pick a song—we help you craft a memory. We guide couples through every part of the planning process, blending logistics with emotion and luxury with authenticity. Our full-service wedding planning includes music selection as part of your overall event vision, ensuring that every detail is cohesive, meaningful, and elevated to perfection.
We’ve seen couples tear up to the opening chords of their favorite ballad, and others burst through the doors to roaring applause and booming basslines. Some opt for nostalgic throwbacks that make the crowd sing, while others choose sentimental tracks that reflect a meaningful chapter of their relationship. However you envision your moment, Asa Reign helps you tap into the emotional power of music to create a grand entrance that guests will talk about for years to come.
To help inspire your journey, we’ve compiled a list of top wedding reception entrance songs that span genres and generations. These selections are perfect for couples who want to kick off their reception with joy, style, and unforgettable impact.
