A wedding march is a musical piece traditionally played during a wedding ceremony, often accompanying the entrance of the bride and bridal party. These marches set the tone for the event, creating a sense of anticipation and celebration. Commonly used pieces include Pachelbel's Canon and Wagner's Bridal Chorus. Typically, the wedding march is performed by a live musician or played from a recording. It marks significant moments in the ceremony, such as the bride's walk down the aisle and the couple's exit. The choice of music can reflect the couple's personal style and cultural background.
