Yes—and it’s one of the best ways to make your entrance uniquely you. A mashup can blend your favorite genres or merge songs that represent you as a couple. If you’re working with a DJ, ask if they can create a custom mix. Remixes can also give old-school classics a modern vibe or turn a soft ballad into a dancefloor banger.

The key is to find a song that reflects your energy and style as a couple (or as a crew). Ideally, it should have a strong intro or build-up, an uplifting or bold tone, and lyrics that align with celebration, love, or fun.

You don’t need the whole song—just the part that hits hardest. A 30-second to 1-minute segment is often perfect. Pick a section with a recognizable hook, drop, or chorus—something your guests will recognize right away and get excited about.

Live bands can bring a whole new level of energy to your entrance, especially if they can tailor the arrangement or tempo to match your vibe. Talk to your band about starting with a dramatic build, a standout intro, or even a quick medley to keep things fresh. Just make sure they’re familiar with the track you want—or open to learning it ahead of time.
