🧠 DJ Maxx Saint’s Tips for Choosing Your Aisle Song
🎯 1. Let It Resonate with Your Heart
Don't settle for something just because it’s trendy. If a particular song gives you goosebumps or tears up your partner, that’s your song. It can be an inside joke, your favorite artist, or even a remix of a song you both loved in high school. DJ Maxx Saint doesn’t offer cookie-cutter playlists—I custom-tailor every moment to reflect your love story.
🕒 2. Consider Timing for the Aisle Walk
The length of your chosen song must match the size of your wedding party and the distance of the aisle. A song like “A Thousand Years” works beautifully for longer aisles and larger bridal parties. But if you have a shorter aisle or intimate wedding, consider a shorter edit or a slow fade.
💡Pro Tip: I offer custom music edits so the key moment of the song hits right as you reach the altar.
💃 3. Separate Songs for Wedding Party & Bride/Partner Entrance
A great way to build anticipation is to use one song for the wedding party and then switch to another for the bride or groom's entrance. This creates a dramatic and emotional shift that guests feel.
Examples:
Wedding Party: “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” – Israel Kamakawiwoʻole
Bride/Partner: “You Make It Real” – James Morrison (Acoustic)

🛠️ Custom Playlists? You Bet.
Whether you're into Spotify, Apple Music, or live instrumentation—DJ Maxx Saint works directly with you to curate a custom wedding ceremony soundtrack. From soft background ambiance before the ceremony starts to the walk down the aisle and the big “I Do” moment—every second matters.
And yes, I’ll even incorporate your cultural, bilingual, or interfaith wedding traditions.
📸 Real Weddings, Real Music Moments
In a recent lakeside ceremony in Chestertown, NY, I used a speaker + mini mixer setup to ensure the song "Turning Page" by Sleeping at Last soared over the lake without overpowering the peaceful nature around us. Another bride opted for the Bridgerton cover of “Wildest Dreams” and it brought her entire bridal party—and most of the guests—to tears.
