As heard at weddings at Lucan Spa Hotel.
Music has the power to set the tone for some of the most emotional moments of a wedding day. From the anticipation of the processional, to the quiet reflection during the signing of the register, and finally the joyful exit as newlyweds — ceremony songs are deeply personal and incredibly memorable.
Each year at Lucan Spa Hotel, we look back at the weddings we’ve hosted and recap the songs couples loved most. Here are the most popular wedding ceremony songs of 2025, based on the beautiful celebrations we were lucky enough to be part of this year.
💍 Most Popular Processional (Entrance) Song
“Young & Beautiful” – Lana Del Rey.
Taking the top spot for 2025, Young & Beautiful proved to be the ultimate processional choice. Its cinematic feel, sweeping melody and romantic lyrics created a powerful sense of anticipation as brides made their entrance. Whether played live or recorded, this song perfectly complemented the emotion of the moment — elegant, dramatic and timeless, making it a firm favourite with couples walking down the aisle this year.
✍️ Most Popular Middle Ceremony Songs (During Signing of the Register)
Joint Winners:
“The Secret Wedding” – James Horner & London Symphony Orchestra (from the film Braveheart).
“Next To Me” – Kingfishr.
We saw a tie for the most popular middle ceremony song in 2025, with couples split between cinematic instrumental music and modern Irish songwriting. The Secret Wedding continues to be a classic choice — its gentle orchestration adds a sense of calm and grandeur, allowing guests to reflect quietly during the signing of the register.
Meanwhile, Next To Me by Kingfishr brought a more contemporary and distinctly Irish feel to ceremonies. Its heartfelt lyrics and stripped-back sound resonated strongly with couples looking for something modern, meaningful and close to home.
🎉 Most Popular Recessional (Exit) Song
“Wonderwall” – Oasis.
Likely due to the band's highly anticipated comeback tour last August, Wonderwall by Oasis became the standout recessional song of 2025. Joyful, nostalgic, and instantly recognisable, it created an upbeat, celebratory atmosphere as couples exited their ceremony to cheers and applause. It’s the perfect example of how a recessional song can turn a formal moment into an unforgettable celebration.
💐 Choosing the Perfect Ceremony Music
Your ceremony music should reflect you — your story, your style, and the atmosphere you want to create. Whether you lean towards cinematic classics, Irish artists or iconic sing-along favourites, the right songs help shape the emotion of the day. At Lucan Spa Hotel, we love seeing how couples personalise their ceremonies through music, and we’re always happy to work with musicians, celebrants, and couples to ensure everything flows beautifully.
