Processional/Recessional Music

For those having their ceremony in a venue other than a church, has anyone made decisions about the kind of music they'll be playing at the ceremony?  I need some ideas other than the usual classical music.

Re: Processional/Recessional Music

  • This is my list for a violist & celloist

    Prelude
    Purcell - Trumpet Tune
    Delibes - Flower Duet
    Bocelli & Dion : The Prayer
    Kenny G - The Wedding Song


    Wedding Party Entrance:  Bach - Air in D

    Bridal Procession:  Pachelbel Cannon in D

    Signing:  Josh Groban- You Raise me up 

    Bridal Recession:  The Beatles - All you need is Love OR Bruno Mars - Just the way you are.

    Then afterwards 
    Coldplay - Clocks
    U2 - Beautiful Day
    Savage Gardens: I know I love you
    Marx - Right Here Waiting
    Platters; Only you
    Mancini - Moon River
    Legrand - I will wait for you

    Hope that helps...

  • We had it in a church but we had:

    Processional: Laudate Dominum and Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (both classical)
    Signing: Come What May (Moulin Rouge)
    Recessional: Happy Together (The Turtles)

    The guests/congregation joined in during the recessional, we had printed the words into the program and they sang along and sang us out as we bopped down the aisle.  It was fun.
  • Great Idea Naomi!!
