Songs for Brides to Walk Down the Isle in Your St. Louis Wedding Venue
"Please rise... and in one collective breath, all eyes find the beautiful bride as she steps into her moment … The most powerful, emotional highlights of any wedding. It’s the heartbeat of the ceremony—the first glimpse, the deep breaths, the tearful smiles. AND… what if the music that accompanies her every step to the altar could tell more than one story? What if it blended emotion, personality and surprise in a way that was uniquely hers (theirs)?
Welcome to the magic of the aisle mash-up. Mash-ups allow brides to combine the classic with the contemporary, the emotional with the playful, the meaningful with the unexpected or a couple of songs that you just can’t decide on one!
Berkshire Ridge Wedding Venue has a few ideas to INSPIRE you!
The Modern Classic: Start with the first verse of “Canon in D” and slowly transition into the chorus of “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri.
The Personal Favorite: Use an instrumental version of your and your fiancé’s favorite road trip song, layered with soft vocals from “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”.
Faith and Love: Begin with “How Great Thou Art” and blend into the instrumental bridge of “You Say” by Lauren Daigle.
From Tears to Joy: Start tender with “Make You Feel My Love” and burst into “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” as the doors open.
We’ve done the digging for you—Berkshire Ridge rounded up our favorite mash-up moments, and we think you’re going to love what we found!

Tips for Creating a Memorable Mash-Up
Work with Your DJ or Musician EARLY: Not all mash-ups are created equal—timing is everything. Collaborate with someone who understands how to blend tracks seamlessly without losing the moment's gravity.
Live Singers: Make sure they are at rehearsal or send you a sound track for timing purposes.
Use Instrumentals Thoughtfully: Lyrics can be powerful, but mixing vocals can get messy. Consider using instrumental versions for smooth transitions.
Match the Energy to the Moment: The music should build toward the emotion you want to create—whether it’s reverent, cinematic, or joyful.
Test the Timing: Practice your walk to the mash-up to ensure the transitions land at just the right steps.
