NER: Processional/Recessional Songs?

KellyBrian2013

Waiting to hear back from my DJ on his suggestions, but I'm impatient. FI & I don't necessarily want "traditional" music for the ceremony, but want to maintain a romantic feel.

I think I am going to walk down the aisle to this (CLICKY) instrumental version of Train's "Marry Me".

Any suggestions of what might go nicely with that for the processional?

We've toyed with the idea of the recessional being to "The Way You Make Me Feel" (Michael Jackson). Opinions on alternate ceremony music? Suggestions?

Are you wanting to do all instrumental verisons? If so, "Bubbly" by Colbie Callait is really pretty as an instrumental.

hehe I also walked in with the instrumental version (by VSQ) of Elvis' Can't help falling in love


for our recessional we walked out to Frank Zappa's Peaches En Regalia.

We aren't very traditional.

Thank you for the suggestions! And yes, I think we are leaning towards entirely-instrumental ceremony music.

<div>I walked in to Train's Marry Me as well - instrumental. It was beautiful. I don't know what the other processional music was. I asked the DJ to pick something that goes well with it, haha. </div>

I did a traditional bridal march for my processional because H REALLY wanted it.  I found a beautiful piano version by Jonathon Cain.  Our recessional was Weezer's "Island in the Sun" because it's one of his favorite songs and it suits us.  It was immediately followed by Queens "You're my best friend" because I love Queen and it's such a cute song..   Surprisingly, a lot of Queen songs are good for weddings.

I'm kind of loving the VSQ "Can't Help Falling In Love" followed by the piano instrumental of "Marry Me" that I found. I'm going to run it by FI when he gets home.

I'll keep looking for the recessional!

H and I looooove Weezer but had a Catholic wedding or we would have had I Was Made for You and My Best Friend.

Not sure if you are looking for certain music genres.

I'm a big country music fan, but FI is not so I was try to avoid that genre for the most part find something that is meaningful to both of us...

I've always been a huge Colbie Caillat fan but never realized how nice the instrumental to this song was. Thanks for posting this! I think I may end up using this to walk down the aisle too =D

That is awesome!!! We've included it in our video to play in the background before the ceremony during cocktail hour.

We are having the wedding party walk up to Bruno Mars Marry you and I am walking up the chapel of love by the dixie cups, the recessional we are walking out to we go together from the greece soundtrack which was my FI idea
